Black History: The Journey
In the tapestry of time, a history profound,
Of resilience and strength, on hallowed ground.
Blacky’s journey, a tale untold,
A symphony of triumph, stories unfold.
From the roots of Africa, a rich heritage,
Bound by chains, yet an indomitable courage.
Through the Middle Passage, a sea of despair,
Emerging as warriors, a spirit rare.
In the cotton fields, under the scorching sun,
A melody of sorrow, yet the spirit won.
Harriet’s whispers, the Underground’s call,
Guiding souls to freedom, breaking the thrall.
Amidst the struggle, a vision so bright,
Dreams of equality, justice in sight.
From Selma’s bridge to Montgomery’s march,
A crescendo of voices, igniting the spark.
In the Harlem Renaissance, culture blooms,
Poetry, jazz, and art that consumes.
Langston’s verses, Baldwin’s prose,
A symphony of voices, breaking throes.
Through segregated buses, boycotts took flight,
Rosa’s quiet strength, a beacon in the night.
In the face of hate, love took a stand,
King’s dream echoed across the land.
Blacky’s history, a journey so vast,
Through shackles and scars, resilience cast.
In the tapestry of time, a story to be told,
Of strength, love, and a legacy bold.
