In her foreword to Black Protest Poetry, legendary poet Sonia Sanchez describes the book as “a necessary study of our poets who dared to speak truth to the world.”

 She celebrates Margaret Ann Reid’s work as a vital and courageous exploration of the Black poetic tradition of resistance, a lineage stretching from the Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement, and as an essential contribution to understanding how Black poets have challenged, confronted, and reshaped America through uncompromising truth‑telling.
