(he asked)
Were you around during the 1963 Dr. King walk
from Bermingham, Alabama to Washington D.C.
or even during his assasination in Memphis
on the balcony deck....
No I wasn't!
(he asked)
Were you alive during the rise of Malcolm X
within the world of Muslims and minorities
while Mohammed Ali rose to superstardom.
Did you see Malcolm shot down
by his own brown skinned brothers?
No I didn't!
(he asked)
Did you see the silent boycott
of blacks in back seats by Rosa Parks
who sat in the "Whites Only" section?
Refusing to move so negros
could be considered equal.
No I didn't!
(he asked)
Where you present when Harriet Tubman
led black slaves through the underground railroad
so they could escape whips to flesh
and field working futures?
No I wasn't!
But I am a part of Black History.
I am a witness of change.
The part that turned black history month
into a 4 year celebration.
The part that re-defined 50 years
of dominance by creating change
in every fashion.
I am part of black history
that saw a black man overcome segregation
like Magic overcame AIDS.
I am the NEXT Black President!!!!
