Peggy M. Fisher introduced her Inspirational Expressions to the public in 1993 and has sold them at various venues throughout the States. She has been recognized for literary excellence by the Iliad Press and the Poetry Guild. Lifting Voices: Voices of the Collective Struggle is a collection of some of her popular poems and expressions uniquely blended with other voices in the history of Black people. We reclaim the struggle with the voices and deeds of some of our Drum Majors and foot soldiers: Nat Turner, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. DuBois, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr. and many others. In this narrative, we travel from the crossroads of Africa down through the Middle Passages, the Black Revolution to the Million Man March, the Million Woman March and beyond. In our journey, we are presented with images and affirmations of love, hope, and self-determination. A must-read for all people committed to the struggle of Black people.
