Black History Month, a Haiku

Lee Hansen
In tribute and commemoration for the African-Americans who have contributed in making America great, I have written a haiku in their memory. Of course these three are only a small representation of the many that made their voices known in our history.

Rosa, Martin, Carver too

What a mark you've made.
