The Sun Poem
Are you greater than the sun
that shines on everyone:
Black, Brown, Yellow, Red, and White,
the sun does not discriminate.
-Sara Ting
In 1985, The Sun Poem was shared by activist Sara Ting across the City of Boston as part of a campaign to promote racial and ethnic harmony.
In a resolution that was adopted recognizing The Sun Poem as a powerful tool to ignite change, it states that the poem “speaks of the value in diversity and the importance of a shared sense of community.”
Beginning in 1986, organizers have held Sun Poem Workshops as a space to use poetry, creative writing, and oral expression as a way of educating students in public and private schools to appreciate differences and understand the role diversity and equity play in our city.
