Poem Poster from We Were Never Meant to Beg For Light
Description
The Fire Next Time (For Angela Davis) is a poem of refusal and clarity—written in dialogue with Angela Davis, but aimed squarely at the present. The poster pairs urgent verse with a stark, confrontational visual language, echoing the criminalization of Black radical thought and the resilience that survives it.
This work rejects martyrdom and myth in favor of lived resistance. Fire is not spectacle here—it is consequence, memory, and warning. Designed as both art and text, this poster is suited for classrooms, libraries, and personal spaces where history is studied honestly and power is named without apology.
