National Museum of African American History and Culture
Stacked raisin brown
in a sea of white stone.
Far from the dome,
defiant against Rome.
Windows covered
toward deceit.
But open toward
the Emancipators feet.
Shimmering gold
in the setting sun.
Much too small to hold,
the valiant tale told.
A people risen up,
fist held high.
Praising God with,
a bold new cry.

AH LITERACY
It is a Magical key It is an opening to more possibilities-
the bridge between not and have!
To know your name and express an idea,
all through scribbling for sight-
is noble and magnificent indeed!
Genius in Creativity
is nearly useless for himself and others-
without that Magical Literacy!
Why suffocate yourself or others,
how many, Emancipators, Teachers and Philosophers
have gone unheard from lack of Literacy ?
Pray that when Brother or Sister
are stumbling,
unable to decipher-
that you Friend be there
help them read the ways !
