TED: Malcolm London: “High School Training Ground” - Malcolm London (2013)




TED Talks Daily (SD video) show

Summary: Young poet, educator and activist Malcom London performs his stirring poem about life on the front lines of high school. He tells of the “oceans of adolescence” who come to school “but never learn to swim,” of “masculinity mimicked by men who grew up with no fathers.” Beautiful, lyrical, chilling.
