Gabriel Ramirez – “On Realizing I Am Black” (100K Views!)

Posted on October 19, 2016

“My grandfather died as the moon. I am not him.
I am black, and full of stars. I am not the absence of light.
I am who allows light to exist.”

Congratulations to Gabriel on topping 100,000 views on their excellent poem.
