Poetic Justice: Women, Power, Politics, and the Black Arts Movement

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women honors Sonia Sanchez with an evening of social justice–infused poetry and spoken word performances, followed by a conversation with the award-winning author. The evening’s readings include selections from Sanchez’s more than a dozen volumes of poetry, including “Does Your House Have Lions?” (1995), nominated for the NAACP Image and National Book Critics Circle Award; “Wounded in the House of A Friend” (1995); and “Homegirls and Handgrenades” (1984), winner of an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation.

Tickets are $25 and include Museum admission.
