Good morning Carrboro High School, my name is Taukaila Riggsbee & Diamond McPhatter. February is Black History Month. Throughout this month, we will honor a new generation of black leaders and black poets on the announcements. Each day, we will celebrate the legacy of black Americans through either the reading of a poem or of a brief bio of an inspirational black figure. 

  She came home running
  back to the mothering blackness   
  deep in the smothering blackness
  white tears icicle gold plains of her face   
  She came home running

  She came down creeping
  here to the black arms waiting
  now to the warm heart waiting
  rime of alien dreams befrosts her rich brown face   
  She came down creeping

  She came home blameless
  black yet as Hagar’s daughter
  tall as was Sheba’s daughter
  threats of northern winds die on the desert’s face   

  She came home blameless
