Here Take My Seat

<                                          Racial      Segregation
                                             One         Nation

                                              Why   Oh   Why
                                              Did   King  Try
                                              

                                              Right   Or   Wrong
                                              Everyone   Belongs

                                        
                                              Black     Or   White
                                              Put        Up   Fight

                                   
                                               Americian    Made
                                               Blood          Gave

                                              


                                                Share        Wealth
                                                Spare        Health


                                                 Rosa         Parks

                                                 She   Did   Bark

Hello Sis, You're right on the money with this one. Don't let the big dogs steal your lunch; fight back girl, and get in a punch. I just love it, and am proud of you. Congrats on your win. Great job! Brother Joe

I love the way Rosa Parks stood up for her rights on that bus. Like your form here very much, Katherine, and the message really comes through! Best wishes for Adeleke's contest. Love, Carolyn (Edits received - thanks)
