This week Anthony Reliford, a native of Baltimore, reached out to me. Why? He wanted to pass along a very incredible poem about Freddie Gray.

He wrote the poem this past Sunday regarding the injustices in Baltimore. Reliford grew up just about 2-3 miles from where the CVS was burned and where people looted Mondawmin Mall.

When Reliford was younger, he use to go to Mondawmin Mall almost every Saturday. In fact, he was there about 3 weeks ago and never imagined the mall would be on national news as another example of the pain of black people.

Watch him recite the poem and I hope that you enjoy it:

Black Lives Matter/ Freddie Gray Poem . The poem was ministered at Empowerment Temple AME Church on Sunday April 26, 2015 because it was important to speak about the police brutality the black community suffers from and notably, the case involving Freddie Gray from his hometown of Baltimore.

You can also watch Sermon: Dancing in the Street . The poem was recited for the ‘ Motown Series’ at Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore, MD. The text is 2 Samuel Chapter 6:6-14. It is all about praising God.

When our voices are heard, justice is ours.
