Huang steps outside her ethnicity to better understand the racism of black Americans and spread awareness about the injustices of government policing. It focuses on the impacts that racism has on Black Americans and the permanence of those impacts when Black parents and guardians pass warnings and instructions through their lineages. His activist poetry is similar to those written by the first generation. Marilyn Chin uses her poetry as a gateway to express her anger with her forced assimilation. Huang also shares his feelings of anger and sadness through his poems. Carlos Bulosan uses his poetry to explain Filipino racism and encourage his readers to join their movement to create socially, economically, and politically equal communities. Huang responds to the racism of Black Americans through his poetry and desires to “create worlds where each of us is free” (Huang). Although Huang focuses on the prejudices of black Americans, he also focuses on various other social issues. She states that her poetry and practice “inherit lessons from prison abolition, migrant justice, gender liberation, transformative justice, disability justice, and reproductive justice movements” (Huang). Huang discusses issues related to racism, gender and sexuality, immigrant rights, disability rights, and women's rights. All of these are important social issues that affect anyone and everyone. She is an extremely versatile poet and activist and should be read by people all over the world, so that we can better understand the difficulties of various communities and subcultures and take a step forward towards a peaceful world.
