A-Z Black American Poem

A is for Achievement of all we’ve obtained; B is for Blacks who use their brains; C is for Courageousness that shows we are brave; D is for Determination that got us out of being slaves; E is for Excellence, which we all should achieve; F is for Freedom, which we all want to see; G is for Genius, which we all want to be; H is for Hero’s whose wills were to free; I is for Intelligence, which makes us bold; J is for Justice so our stories can be told; K is for Kindness with a heart of gold; L is for Liberty, which our souls want to hold; M is for Morality so that we bring no shame; N is for Non-Violence so that we bring no pain; O is for Originality the basis of our gain; P is for Prestigiousness from where we all came; Q is for Quality the kind of work we do; R is for Religion so that GOD’s light shines down on me and you S is for Slavery our ancestors only knew; T is for Togetherness that got them all through; U is for Unity, which we need now; V is for Victory, which means YES! We know how; W is for Willingness to do what needs to be done; X is for Xylophones, which were created by the Africans; Y is for Yesterday, which we should keep in our minds; Z is for Zulu the greatest warrior of all times.
