Igbo Landing Poem by Chinwe Robert

We drowned in Dunbar creek
The first voices
We drowned the segregation god

Anyi bu Nde Igbo
We said no
And the slave raiders trembled

The first voices
Our defiance
To the plantation masters

No more
No more we said
We shall trek to Africa

And yes we drowned
On this creek
On this marsh lands

Our story has been told
And generations more
Would hear of our defiance

We are the seventy five
And in 1803
We made our landing.
