What does black history month mean to me,
Slavery and freedom,
A race fighting for equality,
The rusted chains and blood stained whips,
Over 400 years of this abominable cycle,
Love thy neighbor the words silenced in the bible,
I have a dream,
The dream that came true,
But only through the spilt blood of the innocent,
Their families left singing the blues,
Black history month is a month of the forgotten truth,
How one man's greed became a nation's nightmare,
And how we as humans must dream of freedom and equality too.
