| What Does Black History Mean To Me? I couldn't imagine living during a time when rules were so strict And the color of your skin created such controversy and conflict If you were dark you were treated differently and unfair By those who had no heart simply because they didn't care We may have been called stupid or ignorant if we had no education Times we tried to do something positive with ourselves we faced complication Our ancestors have been through pain and suffering for so long It amazes me what they've gone through- to me they were strong Then came along the black brothers and sisters who paved the way The inventors, creators, those who made their mark for us to stay They didn't care what anybody said about the color of their skin Moving forward they had hope, strength, motivation, and self-discipline There are people who ask,"Is it really necessary to have a month to celebrate?" Why not acknowledge African Americans who's contributions were more than great In the present and even the future, what they did for society in the past Will leave a mark for generations to come that will forever last So if you have to ask, "What does black history mean to me?" Well I can say that I have a better idea of what it means to be free! |
