For English class, I need to find a poem by an African-American. I've looked, but can't really find one I want to share...any ideas? I'd prefer it to be a little less popular, and kind of short because I have to read it in front of the class.
 
Here are the names of some black poets you can web search for samples of their work:

Langston Hughes
Countee Cullen
June Jordan
Lucille Clifton
Melvin Tolson
Gwendolyn Brooks
Rita Dove
Lenelle Moise
Michael Harper
Cornelius Eady
 
Koye Lott comes to mind.
