Blacks Had No Choice

durning that time
what was  crime
there's still signs
in the books
that didn't cooke
you can see the 
look
from  the  hooks
they had no voiceS
no
BLACKS HAD NO CHOICES

Everyone always have some choices in their lives even though it may seem that they don't..Sometimes those choices are limited by surroundings and circumstances..My father had very little education but got up at 4 A.M. so that he could study his "Bible" and Sunday School lesson...Reading was not easy for him but he taught an adult Sunday School class..He was very educated in the "Bible" from this study...Another person would not have done that for it would have been too hard...Sara
