Fantastic. This had to be a hard poem to memorize because of the repetition. He did a splendid job. He raised his voice at the right times and surely the crowd felt the bullet cry.
All i have to say is Damn.. How powerful those words. What an amazing poet my Uncle Louis Reyes Rivera was. RIP Uncle Louis. Cant believe you are now gone. You Will be Missed. Your words will always stick by me. Such a shame i couldnt see you before you left. I will miss you. Love u.
this is indescribable.. such beautiful words. Well delivered. Every time i hear this I get goosebumps. It was horrible what happen to brother Malcolm. But this poem makes the events seem bitter sweet. this poem is just simply indescribable
I just finished "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", and this was a fitting tribute. If you haven't read it...get it and READ IT!!! This brought chills and a tear to the eye of this descendant of slave owners and Confederate soldiers. Keep the legacy of Malcolm X alive!!!
can't listen to this without tearing up, so vivid
I have heard this poem probably 50 times and it gets more powerful every time. It still remains my favorite poem ever also.
rest in power Louis Reyes Rivera...THANK YOU for these words and many more.

Damn. Rest in peace Louis Reyes Rivera. Thankfully he left you this.
