Podcast Corner: George the Poet is back with a third series
George the Poet.
On episode 26 of Have You Heard George’s Podcast?, George The Poet is talking about young black gang members in the UK, who are, he says, living proof of what was taken from their ancestors.
There’s no moral authority in their society to give them purpose, he says. “Sixteen years of Black History Month in school never explained any of this. Music held the story together. Music will tell the story forever," says the spoken word artist, born in London as George Mpanga.
