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.
