DR MARTIN LUTHER KING trained us in workshops based on non- Violence to resist the water hoses soaking us and knocking us down On hate filled sidewalks or the sharp teeth police dogs set upon Men women children biting our private parts and making meals of flesh,the billy clubs sprayed tear gas on the EDMUND PETTUS Bridge, but somehow as I walked saying inside that time will tell about Me and I glimpsed ahead the resurrection of my soul and manhood Rising from the dust of shame. We all locked arms together with our Wounded bodies determined minds and hearts spirits soaring From DR KING's I HAVE A DREAM words and marching right On into history
