The Price of Racial Equality
There was no true freedom in this nation.
We were allowed to go with emancipation.
However, we afterwards fought discrimination.
Ubiquitous was racism and segregation.
Often with the rising sun of the dawn,
we would find a smoldering cross on our lawn.
What has been the price of racial equality?
It has been a struggle as tough as can be.
