Stop Discrimination
Location
In honor of
citizens of color
standing for the prize
civil rights, freedom, brotherhood
Being battered by the storms
long nights of exile in one's own land
preaching non-violence
being victims of great trials
children stripped of self-hood
living unspeakable horrors
with memories of former slaves
in captivty of dignity
When will you be satisfied?
for "whites only" to meet its place
of justice and its rightful place our past
trade it for riches of freedom
award a great American
who stands up for our nation
a symbolic shadow
beacon light of hope
for all men are equal
and not to be judged by skin
but by character
brothers and sisters
veterans of creative suffering
sunlit path of justice
walk together and cannot turn back
there all God's children
now making and letting
freedom ring
