Rise, Shine, & Deliver

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Civil Rights Activist

Fought for Equality and Justice

50 years ago

People came together for action

Fought to see the light

Freedom was out of sight

It was block by the color of white

50 years later

It’s a new reaction  

They have finally got their right

Now the future is bright

Like diamonds on a kite

Let’s rejoice and be delight

Time to celebrate and commemorate
