Lift Every Voice: Celebrating 250 Years of African American Poetry<\/i><\/p>\n

Lift Every Voice<\/i><\/a>\u00a0is a year-long, nationwide celebration of the 250-year tradition of African American poetry, its richness and diversity, and its central place in American poetry. The initiative is directed by\u00a0Library of America<\/a>\u00a0in partnership with the\u00a0Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture<\/a>\u00a0and with libraries, arts organizations, and bookstores in all fifty states. It is supported by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Emerson Collective.<\/p>\n

Curated by English and American literature librarian Aimee Gee and launched in December 2020, this exhibition highlights materials from the collections of the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press and draws upon several past UD exhibitions.\u00a0Lift Every Voice<\/i>\u00a0encourages visitors to reflect upon five intersecting themes that emerge from a close examination of the African American poetic tradition: The Freedom Struggle, Black Identities (Assertion & Protection), Black Experience in History & Memory, Black Language & Music, and Family & Community.
