In reading Black Voices for the second time, I am even more inspired to walk into my destiny versus the first time I read it as an undergraduate student. This book is a compilation of great short stories, and poems of some of the worlds most famous African American writers and poets including Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Lorraine Hansberry, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, and Richard Wright just to name a few. The substance of this book really deals with some of the most complicated, and also the simplest issues that African Americans have faced since the beginning of American history. Even if you only gain some of the knowledge that this book offers, it’s an excellent read for all book lovers, as well as any aspiring writers.
