HONORS Poetry Project Poem Selection
Choose a poem from the Civil Rights Era that is at least 4 stanzas in length. The civil rights movement/era was a struggle by African Americans in the mid-1950s to late 1960s to achieve civil rights equal to those of whites, including equal opportunity in employment, housing, and education, as well as the right to vote, and the right of equal access to public facilities. You will be connecting your poem to the novel Secret Life of Bees. Your poem should be rhymed verse. Choose carefully–the more consistent the rhyme, the easier it will be to do the metrical foot. Choose more than one poem in case someone signs up before you. First come, first served. Sign up by this Friday please.
