The senseless, brutal murder of Emmett Till
In 1955 haunts America's consciousness, still.
He's a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement.
His casket left open, a horrific sight; watershed moment.
Reinvention, Metamorphosis, a civil rights movement to free the oppressed.
Love is free, love is trusting, love is kind.
Love takes a stand for what is right.
Bravery takes a movement.
Bravery takes a stand.
Bravery takes a chance.
Bravery asks no opinions.
Bravery sometimes stands alone.
Stubborn refusal by Rosa Parks
to up from her bus seat set off sparks...
that ignited flames of Civil Rights movement.
'Twas a legendary, watershed moment!

TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE
To thine own self be true.
Why am I here?
From where did I come?
The mighty will fall.
What is the measure of a man?
What is a power struggle?
I am an aftermath of Civil Rights time.
What happen during Civil Rights time?
What was the Civil Rights Movement?
A fight for social justice is a fight against social injustice.
Why am I here?
From where did I come?
