I Feel Freedom!

I truly feel free! Centuries of injustice and finally freedom rings! From the cruel and torturous shackles to the White House. The African - American race built this country and all we asked in return was the right to be American. Blacks fought and fought for the rest of America to see that they part of "men" in the Constitution's "All men were created equal". I feel great pride when I think of all the struggles my ancestors faced to simply allow my life to be fill with equality. I am able to look at the same sky my ancestors did and dream of being anything I want to! I am able to vote for right man run the country, to get an education, and simply live life as an equal man! The Civil Rights Movement marked the end just accepting racial injustice. They stood for what they believed in and refused to back down. Hoses, dogs, and malice-filled "men of the law" didn't deter them. They all considered the possibility of having their dream deferred. They did not worry about "drying up like a raisin in the sun" or "it exploding". There was no need to worry about a deferred dream when you knew you were going to die for this dream. I am truly grateful for all they did! I would name some, but I would do the the injustice of leaving out all those who fought and died for the chance for their children, or their children's children, to live with equality. I feel the freedom they fought for! I live this freedom they gave me! I will not take for granted the freedom they fought for!
