Aaron reading from the play Whitewashed with D Colin;
D Colin reading her poems “For Every Black Woman Who’s Been Called Angry,” and “If I Ever Get Questioned About Doing Too Many Black Poems”;
Anastasia Robertson reading from a letter she discovered online, entitled “Dear Black Americans;”
D Colin re-reading her poems for the returning marchers;

Included in this segment is the poet Jade, near the close of the Rally, reading two unnamed poems.
