ABOUT LAST NIGHT: The Twin Poets at ACCC

On a warm day in February, The Mayslanding Campus of Atlantic Cape Community College was a buzz with excitement.

If I were to tell you the excitement was because of the appearance of a sports start, a recording artist or actor you may not be surprised.

However, I am glad to say that at 5pm on a Tuesday in February. The student center at ACCC welcomed hundreds of people to hear from poets.

Identical twin brothers Al Mills and Nnamdi Chukwuocha took the stage and held the audience captive as the brothers recited/performed poetry of the authentic Black experience of their generation.

Inbetween poems they shared stories of their journey from their birth to Al Mills work with juveniles to Nnamdi Chukwuocha's rise to becoming a state representive for the great state of Delaware.

The Twin Poets began the night on a strong note performing what is a classic poem from their catalogue "Dreams are Illegal." The Twin Poets also ended their one hour set with a poem that has been a standard for them over the years "No Home To Come Home To."

After a standing ovation the brothers signed autographs, books and took pictures with their fans.

It was a great Tuesday for South Jersey and ACCC proving that sometimes people will support an event that tells the truth about violence, society, drinking and drugs.

Editors Note: We will play some poetry from The Twin Poets on The Light this Friday on FM 106.5 WPPM in Philly and Saturday on FM 91.7 WLFR
