The Perceived Threat of Blackness: Video with Darius Simpson

Spoken word poet Darius Simpson gives a window into his daily experience of being Black in America and how he’s had to internalize and manage other’s perceptions about his Blackness. With poetry, Darius has found a way to release those feelings and bring awareness to his experiences that many Black men in America share. He hopes to “create a world of African-Americans who can live a free life and an empowered generation of youth, ready equipped and supported to build a better world than the one we inherited.”
