A Look In The Past.


Foundations of these lands were marked by the free and the brave. Through history of the past, fights were fought to make others understand Settlement and sacrifice, journey through many cultures which made it grand Acts of valor and saints to bring justice for the slaves One man stood tall and wise, spoke words of wisdom to all Opened eyes of many and set in motion a change to fall Putting thoughts to rest, ancestors no longer rolling in their graves Generations upon generations able to do what they pleased No longer shackled, were now free to make their own destiny
