Through the Lift Every Voice program grant, the WCUI Smith Library is hosting the first of two live webinars meant to provide a voice and discover what African American poetry can tell us about American history and stimulate a discussion about family and community service. In part one, spoken artist, Michael D. McCarty will guide a 1.5-hour reading and discussion “Ode to Herb Kent” (2015) written by poet and R&B singer Jamila Woods. The poem reflects on Herb Kent, “the longest-running DJ in the history of radio” and is set in Chicago where our webinar speaker, Mr. McCarty, was born and raised.
