Build Black Man Build is an inspirational poem written by Derek H. Suite. The poem celebrates"resilience in the face of recrudescence" as evidenced by the lives of black men, known and unknown, past and present. It speaks to the notion that there is no more powerful force than being informed and anchored by one's history-- and no higher wisdom than drawing from the divine legacy of experience, knowledge, perseverance, and good judgment of one's ancestry. Enjoy!
