W 152nd Street Sandra Grace
“my DNA not for imitation ……… your DNA an abomination” – Kendrick Lamar born in 1947 she would sit outside on her broken-up stoop of the Harlem projects– she lived in a constant war zone. the police sirens wailed through all hours of the day, searching. searching for the dark man in a hood, searching for the dark woman with tight braids sandra would later bring a dark girl with tight curls into this world, 1966, alone and scared–the two secretly spent their nights atop an old Chinese restaurant somewhere in Manhattan.
THIS. FIGHT. ISN’T. OVER. THIS–FIGHT–WILL–NEVER–BE– OVER
