Jillian Hanesworth, Buffalo's Poet Laureate, Calls for Change
"Many white friends have reached out to share support and sympathy and to offer to help. She asks them to be honest with themselves and with their friends and family about systemic racism. 'We need you to talk. We need you to stop sitting around the dinner table acting like everything's great because it's not. Just because you aren't experiencing it doesn't mean it's not happening. Your role in this is to help change the system,' she said."

What Sparks Poetry:
