Past and Present


The Civil Rights Movement Has come a long way. From sitting on the back of the bus, To the owner of the company, at top pay. The Civil Rights Movement Is really a good thing. Lots of people have come forth, Like Dr. Martin Luther King. The Civil Rights Movement Removed the colored only signs. And brought us to the front From the back of all the lines. The Civil Rights Movement Taught us to hold on to our belief. We worked, prayed and toiled, And now President Obama is Commander in Chief.
