Evett’s beautiful, heart-felt poetry reminds us of our shared humanity and the importance of standing together, strongly united, against prejudice and in- justice. Her wisdom knows that the world thrives when we love and respect all of our brothers and sisters, and all of life.

A poignant telling of the journey of Black Ameri- cans, from their capture and enslavement through their struggles for physical, economic and emotional freedom. A beautiful and essential part of American history.”
—Padrick Pinkney, Esquire, Vice President, Unity Property Development Corporation, Inc., Port St. Lucie, FL
Evett’s poems have captured the history and the pain, a hunger for dignity in the human form, the shame and the fear, and yet, she also leaves us with hope, a ray of light in the darkness. Growing up in war-torn Northern Ireland during the 1970’s I lived through the violence and the struggle for hu- man rights, watched my father’s struggle when his restaurant was bombed, heard the cries of suffering and inequality. A different time, a different place, but Evett’s words signify for the human race.
