Decisions appear colored
When you're on the wrong side
Of the race

Jumping over fences
Is easier
When you're trespassing
Remembering how much power words had at time like the Civil Rights Movement when cause had effect; Malcolm X spoke unhinged about the general consensus. Speaking about what is right in the things that were once considered wrong; he removed a simple black and white picture thus, revealing reality to us. Bringing revelation was a function also undertaken by James Baldwin. James Baldwin was an American novelist and essayist. Bringing about a movement even the hugely tabooed topic of sexuality, and lending credence to his tastes and bringing representation to other troubled men and women, alike, he introduced social acceptance amidst segregation and prejudice.
