Segregation – the remaining chains of slavery.
Every man of color exhibited extreme bravery.
Granting of freedoms was gifted to whites alone.
Racial slurs rained upon every colored home.
Even our elected shared in this hate, while
Grieving mothers mourned their son's fate.
Arise they cried, "Arise my brothers, Now Arise!
Time to march and to fight before another dies!"
In the churches and in streets we stood for our rights
Our voices were heard by our courage and might.
Never again, never again, never again.
