Download POEM

Come sing and pray and enjoy the poetry with us! Prayers are in Ladino and Hebrew and led by Sofie Shefia Stephanie Cohen. This month we continue our series on African American poets, translated into Spanish by Héctor Contreras López, our response to the current attempt to erase African American literature in the US. We will read "If We Must Die," by Claude McKay. Born in Jamaica in 1890, McKay was one of the most important poets of the Harlem Renaissance. He died in Chicago in 1948.

Be prepared to share your response to this beautiful poem which will be read out loud in English and Spanish. If you are able, please show up early to help set up. And bring a vegetarian dish to share!
