Kerry James Marshall, Now and Forever

            Kerry James Marshall, Now and Forever, 2023, stained glass, (Washington National Cathedral) with a poem,

“American Song”
Imperfect, in struggle, contested, more than one voice at a time. Onward, multi American song, American psalm. A single voice raised, then another. We must tell the truth about our history. How did we get here and where do we go? Walk toward freedom. Work toward freedom. Believe in beloved community. We are not yet close enough to heaven. Aspire to song. Aspire to the lift of voices joined to make a mighty noise. What are the luminous, sacred words? Courage, evolve, freedom, community, truth, trust, love, peace, yes, why, agape. American song, American prayer. All of our voices combined into song. Sing sacred words, true and just. May this portal be where the light comes in.
