Slave Women


I was the slave girl taken from the South to the West I was the sister that was beaten tortured and ripped from the home of my loved ones I was the young mother dragged and taken in chains forced to kill the life inside of me I was the daughter who witnessed her fathers death. I am the "slave woman" Don't forget what started it all Don't you forget what happened Remember us For we are the "slave women" who never gave up
