Rise Up! Poems of Protest, Poems of Praise

Join Mari Fitz Wynn as she reads poems from her book, Rise Up! Poems of Protest, Poems of Praise. This is a poetry collection that weaves the voice of the past, the poems of a grandfather born to enslaved parents and poems of the present, those of his granddaughter. These two hearts were linked not only by love but also by the travesties of racism and slavery and the devastation and waste of war.

Noted author, Mari Fitz Wynn has been a non-fiction writer for the past 20 years. In addition to being an author, she's an educator on women's issues, a speaker and a jewelry designer.
