Color is only a perception Only visible waves of light Where equality was only a deception Where 'seperate but equal' was considered right The mistreatment of man Because of the pigmentation of skin Ideas of inferiority due to color began Only few knew of this horrible sin Few knew to look past color With revolutionary views they led the movement They saw the pain and the squalor They saw a world of vast improvement These wise men and women managed to incite A most needed end to the color plight
