Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Poet: Ken Jordan Poem: Freedom Edited by: Sparkle Jordan written: March/2013 I grew up in the south, where spanish moss hanged heavy from oak tree's - Where hound dogs roamed dirt roads tracking down a race of people,.... Black people, America said were free - We were not free - America, was "Segregated America," Whites on one side and Blacks on the other - Signs posted told us where we could sit and eat - And "For Colored Only" signs pointed, to restrooms that we could use - Water fountains were prohibited, except the ones outside in the park - I grew up in these times, where folks with black skin, were called "colored," and a few other words that lowered our self esteem - A time when we were lynched, and hanged from southern trees - A time when brutal and ruthless killings of many black family's became routine, and the perpetrator's were never brought to trial - America said we were free - We were not free - I grew up in these times - When a black man couldn't look at a white woman - They called it wreck-less eye balling, which carried a sentence of death - I've seen the vicious dogs attack us in the street on command from police - We had to fight for our civil rights, through protest; boycotts, And when we gathered to march the police beat us down in the streets - I grew up in these times - When they assassinated Civil Rights Activist Medgar Evers, in 63 - A few months later they bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church, in Birmingham, killing four little black girls as they sang and prayed in a place of peace - I grew up in these times - I watched on T.V. Dr. King deliver his historic "I Have A Dream" speech - He had hoped that someday all men regardless of ethnicity could live together in harmony - Sadly, he was assassinated in 68. I've seen the million man march on Washington D.C. to promote unity - I grew up in these times - America said we were free - We were not free -
