A Praise Poem for Brother Jitu From Sister Jaribu Hill

Brother Jitu was our Master Teacher. I am so saddened by his passing, but am comforted by the many lives he touched and the many lessons we all learned from him. As a cultural artist, I recall performing with Ngoma at the African Street Festival and at the East Cultural Center in Brooklyn.

Wow, what a serious solar sun shout heard all around when Big Black crossed over!!! I wrote this for him and to inspire us to walk in his light and make him proud!!!

Big Black! Big Black!!! We miss you already!!!

It’s after the end of the world. Don’t you know that yet?*
Over at Claver Place on the East side facing the Sun
We jammed to sounds swelling all up and down the block!
