Rosa Parks, sit proud, Head high with no retreat, Do not be forced to the back This seat is more than just a seat, Let them drag you to the jail Mistreatment all the world can see, Spirits stir, blood boils, N.A.A.C.P. Dr. King, Dr. King! Tell the world about your dream, Preach of togetherness as the ignorant still scream, Non violence is the movement Serenity could end the strife, But a man moved by malice Picked up a gun and took your life, Who's next? Malcolm X? Another brother had to die, Racists whites or Muslim mobsters? Who killed you and why? Was it because of your courage Because you had the will to try? By any means necessary You preached an eye for an eye, So many soldiers in the struggle Who will not be coming back, Loud voices and strong minded, Dead before the Civil Rights Act, Equality for us all, Is a summary of the paper, To all who paved the way I want to thank you for your labor, I thank many, and many thanks, We are truly in your debts, I breathe and write freely, Focused to give you no regrets, From the shackles on your ankles Through the hundreds of years of drama, Good or bad his term may be, “Today” our President is named O'Bama
