“It wasn’t that long ago we were killed like dogs in the streets For the right to be free from the bondage of slavery.
“It wasn’t that long ago we were killed for the right to read a book, to learn, and be an educated people
“It wasn’t that long ago that we were lynched because God darkened our skin.”
