SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) - This month KRON4 is honoring Black history, and today we're shining a light on Tongo Eisen-Martin.
He was recently named San Francisco's poet laureate, the eighth artist in City history to hold the title.
Eisen-Martin was appointed by Mayor Breed after being nominated by a nine-member Selection Committee comprised of past Poets Laureate, City officials, as well as members of the Bay Area poetry and literary community.
Tongo has received numerous awards and is a published author as well. He's also the founder of the Black Freighter Press, monthly reading series.
He joins KRON4 to discuss his vision for his new title.
