Understanding Our Past, Living Today, Creating Our Future

Only when lions have historians
will hunters cease being heroes
we are one nation, one family, indivisible 
for us, divorce or separation are not options

Though blacks first stepped foot in the Americas, in 1518
racial barriers broken, time passes,but love endures
racial rifts, tearing at the heart of America
clean your house of racism, America

Racism is a sickness that may never go away
there's no color in love
the ship has whethered every rack, the prize we sought is won
the port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting

African American history; the record of a race
of indomitable people surviving the diaspora
where do we go from here!
we move united into the future

I like the way you think and write, Floyd. A message that needs to be told over and over, it doesn't seem like as of world, we're getting the message. Bill
