We should all be forthright
We must strive for what's right
Be a stirring voice for the stigmatized
Injustice warriors this is our fight
Virtuous we should have an appetite
Shared ideals we should all invite
So fascinating how we are intertwined
Who are we?
We are out of many one
Unyielding, Karl Gilman's collection of poems, is an unflinching look at race in America. His words encourage a respectful and robust conversation about equality in society. We have to be honest about the damage prejudice does to individuals and the country. In stories both personal and universal, Gilman shares the challenges minorities face. By exploring our history, remembering the warriors of the past, we can recognize how far we have come. But looking around at the horrors and hate that still exist, we can acknowledge how far we must still go. Courage, hope, and respect are necessary for change. The journey is hard, but together we can move forward in our goal of a more perfect Union.
