Casarah Nance Poet Acrostic

Juneteenth

Jubilant voices sang "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" 
Unity in celebration as the proclamation was made
No more slavery in the United States of American
Emancipation, worth fighting for was won
Tomorrows would be changed for fate intervened,
Energy of persistence in the face of adversary 
Enlightened the bond between races to grow stronger
Now we stand together and celebrate success
To know changes come by coming together as one
Hear the cheers of the spirits now free.... no more slavery
