I Am Jerry

November 6, 2015

Jerry

[jer-ee]

Noun

I am a son of immigrants

Mwen se yon pitit nan Ayiti

I am a New Yorker

I am darker than the night sky

I am here because of Martin

I am here because of Malcolm

I am here because of Rosa

I come from Africa

I am Jerry

I am here to bring change
