Clishmaclaver would like to post a belated celebration of World Poetry Day, which she missed two days ago – thanks to RL! 🙁

This year, by happy coincidence, World Poetry Day coincided with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and this ‘double whammy’ was just too important an event to miss blogging about. 😉 For, As Rights Info rightly notes, “Few tools in the fight for racial equality have been as powerful as poetry.”

So, click on the photo to read an absorbing article and (re)acquaint yourself with Maya Angelou’s ‘Equality’; a poem which captures the important messages of both days!
