Forever Changing Civil Rights


Outlawing racial discrimination, Restoring voting rights, And having assured laws with equal protection. What was it to be a citizen of the United States ? Being some ones property rather than a citizen, Life should’ve been about guiding one another towards success, Not about race, color, or servitude condition. What is it like to be a citizen of the Untied States ? No one can deprive you of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Citizenship of the Untied States is subject to the jurisdiction thereof. So, who am I to take advantage of my citizenship ?
