Baltimore Poets on Black Lives: Children Are Being Put Back in the Ground Before They've Even Lived

"Your children are being put back in the ground before they’ve even lived yet," rapped Baltimore poet, Grim Jackson, during a rally Sunday calling for justice for Freddie Gray. Watch Gray perform several pieces, along with fellow poet and rapper, Martina Lynch.

Gray died from spinal injuries, one week after Baltimore police arrested him.
