In the wake of the recent George Floyd killing in Minneapolis, Acadia alumnus and Campaign for Acadia Cabinet Member Clive Anderson (’89) was compelled to work through his own feelings of anger, frustration, despair, and defiance about racial injustice toward blacks, especially in the United States, and did so in the form of poetry.

He wrote numerous poem, 24 of which he has collected into a volume entitled Uprising!, with each poem accompanied by a unique visual exploring and amplifying the meaning of its subject matter.
