Black History

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Debra Paulsen
Created from the depths

of the darkness of slavery,

The African American

as we now know him,

came to be.

From out of a past

fettered by chains,

placed upon them

by the white man's claims

that Black Americans

were not the same


Today they're proved wrong

The evidence is plain

Racial Prejudice

It's Just Insane

Given no choice

Denied all rights,

some people stood up

and said come

on lets fight

Rights don't belong

just to the whites

Let All God's children

come into the light

Decades have now passed

progress has come along

Atlanta school children

can sing a new song

Racial prejudice

it's just wrong
