Instructor: Ramona L. Hyman

Poetry as Witness is an hour-long reading by Dr. Ramona L. Hyman to commemorate Black History Month. Drawing on spirituality, folk speech, history, and cultural depth, her poetic voice captures the strength and resilience of Black America. She will read from her collection I Am Black America. Critic Joyce Joyce describes Hyman as a “strong intellectual creative voice.” A question-and- answer session will follow the reading. This program will be held at the Madison Public Library; 142 Plaza Blvd.; Madison, AL 35758. Max: 75
