Overview
Celebrate one of the most important writers and scholars of the Black Arts Movement, Sonia Sanchez. Throughout a distinguished career of 70+ years, her poetry has rocked the spoken-word scene and our nation.

Sanchez herself will take the stage, along with special guests the Christian McBride Trio, Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka, Saul Williams, Mahogany L. Browne and The Last Poets.
“This is not a small voice
you hear this is a large
voice coming out of these cities.”
