WE!


Stomped Jumped, kicked beat We suffered Fighting for what we believed in We suffered Not being recognized by our hearts but by our skin We still suffered Calling grown men BOY Babies TAR BABY and women, just disrespected We suffered Thought we were living in the HOME OF THE BRAVES but, we got treated like slaves We overcame We are doctors lawyers teachers and judges We too are smart We too can read We too can write We fought, we seeked, we moved, WE OVERCAME AND NOW WE ARE AMERICA
