Black Freedom MovementBlack Power
They beat and kill us But our message is too strong Black Power’s not silent Ignored We will not be ignored, Waiting for our coffee in Greensboro. We follow the same lord, Praying for equality with Martin Luther King. We will spread our word, Riding the bus together on Freedom Rides. We will move as a herd, Bevel leads our children through Birmingham. We will be heard, Screaming for help on Bloody Sunday. We won't have our dreams deferred, Voting for new senators in Sweet Home Alabama. We will march undeterred, Descending upon Washington. We are not being absurd, America is our country. We will not be ignored. |
