This Land Was Made
"The soil of this land has been altered--altared--by blood, sweat, and tears
falling from black and brown bodies. Even when I am not aware of this, I am
aware of this. How many ways can we read the refrain, "This land was made for
you and me" ? How was this land made? Who was made to do the making? Who is the
you? Who is the me?" Poet Ama Codjoe shares more in this powerful essay.
