African American Historical Figures
Our chosen color is black
We want to talk about something new
Rosa Parks on the bus
Her problem sparks a light in all of us
Michael Jackson; the King of Pop
His music flew him to the top
Prince and his Purple Rain
We may never know his pain
Alicia Keys and her musical ability
She inspires with her nobility
Whitney Houston and her grand voice
When she steps on stage, the crowd errupts with noise
Martin Luther King Jr. and his message
He powered through the wreckage
