LEGACY FROM LEGACY
Education being knowledge
Foundation established
My years at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
Higher learning being opportunity
I was honored to be educated by legacy from legacy
It was MALCOLM X primage into a Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz,
Malcolm X’s Widow
Principles simple
Health class called “IN SEARCH OF WELLNESS”
My mind opened up into wonder
My thoughts embraced yonder
Listened and absorbed
Possibilities on every turn
Theories directed
Legacies wisdom
Values to use in one’s own life
That is what I got from Dr. Shabazz’s teachings
No doubt
Pure education through and through
Who knew?
For me, it became pursue.
