We
Came From Glory
From
kings and queens
we
came from glory,
but
yet we hear a different story.
Many
are miseducated,
while
a lot of us fought to be educated.
We
went from separate but equal,
to
going to school with white people.
From
the back of the bus,
and
Dr. King marching with us,
to
a black man playing major league baseball,
while
we continued to fight for Jim Crow to fall.
From
Barbra A. Johns at age 15 who lead a school protest
doing
her best.
While
Claudette Colvin was first to refuse to give up her seat on the bus
but
Rosa Parks received the fame.
But
with all of this pain,
yet
still we stayed on a path to attain.
The
dream,
to
now a black president.
Oh,
how our people came from glory
but
yet we hear a different story.
