Dear James Gordy is Mikhaella Norwood's winning 2019 Motown Mic piece that made her the Spoken Word artist of the year for 2 years running! Artistically putting to words the little known fact that Motown great, Berry Gordy, is cousins with past President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, this poem takes you through the twists and turns of what it means for two racially different families to emerge from one bloodline due to slavery. Written from Berry Gordy, Jr.'s perceived point of view, Norwood pens what she imagines a letter from Berry would be to his great grandfather, slave-owner James Gordy.
