"Hear our Songs: The Arid Annals of The Poor" is a video essay on the state of a marginalized people. It is a poetic delivery of a staggering and shameful American Truth. Bertram Rodgers tells the age-old story of racial and social injustice through the beauty of his original work of poetry, "The Arid Annals of The Poor," which was inspired by Abraham Lincoln. "Hear Our Songs" is a beautiful telling of one of America's ugliest stories.
