Who Am I

I am black and I have the ability to glorify the King I am great and in believing in him, I have authority over all things I am the Father and Mother of past, present and future Peacemakers, Educators, Scientists, Musicians, Scholars, Kings and Queens I am John Love the sharpener inventor I am Mae C. Jemison the astronaut I am Martin Luther King the peacemaker I am Toni Morrison a contemporary novelist. I am Muhammad Ali the boxer I am Wilma Rudolph the Olympic track and field champion I am Tiger woods the golfer I am Lucy Laney the educator. I am Jack Johnson the heavyweight I am Rosa Parks the segregation leader I am Jesse Wilkins the physicist and mathematician I am Serena Williams a tennis player. I am Isaac Murphy the great through-bred jockey I am Bessie Coleman the first licensed African American pilot I am Chester Burnett the blues singer I am Eleanor Holmes a politician and civil rights activist. I am Thomas Dorsey the father of gospel music I am Chadwick Boseman the famous Black Panther actor I am Barack Obama the forty-four first Black Afro-American president, we are the future. We are the hope for the lost and forgotten generation.
