Kevin Powell is widely considered one of America’s most important voices in these early years of the 21st century. He is a political activist, poet, essayist, hip-hop historian, public speaker and entrepreneur.

Powell has published seven books, including his current title, Someday We’ll All Be Free, a collection of provocative essays on freedom, democracy, justice and race in America, as inspired by Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 presidential election, and September 11th.

He has become an outspoken critic of violence against women and girls, and is at the forefront of the movement to redefine American manhood away from sexism and violence. Powell also produced a 10-city State of Black Men Tour, numerous black male think tank sessions, and “Black and Male in America,” a three-day national conference. He is a 2008 Democratic candidate for the United States Congress representing New York City.
