Thanks to your support, we are launching Harbani’s first ten poems from the Rights of Black People series in the ABA Journal. One poem will be released each week through August. The first two poems are live now: Plessy v. Ferguson and Loving v. Virginia. We will also be sharing excerpts of each poem on social media under #DictaLegalPoetry and on our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We hope you enjoy the series and that it serves as a reminder of the timelessness of the struggle for human and civil rights in the United States.
Unreleased Version of Plessy v. Ferguson
Harbani created two versions of Plessy v. Ferguson, one of which we have not released publicly. You can get a copy of the unreleased version here.
What’s next?
Over the next year, Harbani will continue creating poems to complete a 40 poem series along the themes of Women’s Rights, Rights of Black People, LGBTQI+ Rights, Immigration Rights, and Indigenous Rights. The next release in the series will be the virtual exhibition of all the poems. We can’t wait to share it with you!
