Revenge

Do you think we shall forget the chains and bonds you shipped us in, the stench of sweat and death swelling our nostrils, the world you brought us to, to do you toil, the auctions of our bodies, the abuse we took? We shall not forget. You have given us the weapon. We shall take the knowledge you offered. The new laws to sustain the culture, and by the hands of slaves, our martyrs, and the people. We shall strike the powerful blow, that will release time. Black doctors, black teachers, black businesses, black homeowners. A BLACK PRESIDENT!
