Poet Diana Ferrus Shares "Peace Song" (video)

Kanyoro honours FerrusCape Town: Diana Ferrus was one of the “Clouds of Witnesses” honoured at WACC’s peace congress. Ferrus uses the art of poetry to express herself in a way that touches the emotions more deeply than dialogue can.

Ferrus’ poem about Sarah Baartman, a black slave who was put on display because of her physical attributes, led to the repatriation of Baartman’s remains from France this century.

Her poem, “The Peace Song,” is a moving statement of a victim’s last act of looking into her killer’s eyes with love. Diana recites this poem in the video shared below.
