During a Summer of Racial Turmoil, S.C. Poets and Writers Create “Ukweli” to Find Healing Truth

Herb Frazier, co-editor of “Ukweli: Searching for Healing Truth,” an anthology of essays and poems from forty-seven poets and writers, will discuss this collection of personal accounts and insights designed to educate White Americans about the systematic racial bias employed to stymie African American progress. “Ukweli” defines the struggles Black people have faced despite their substantial contributions to America. This book speaks to America’s need to seek a healing pathway to overcome the trauma of slavery and the decades of hostility that followed it.
