How they made a change


Sitting in a seat not accepting defeat Rosa Parks took a stand Speaking for the press and being laid to rest Martin Luther King Jr. paid the ultimate price Singing for those who wished to be heard and not being detoured by criticism Bob Dylan gave hope Braving unknown territory the Little Rock Nine walked into a school knowing they were not wanted All took a chance made a sacrifice and helped shape the world into a dream come true
