I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America.
Hey Black Child Do you know who you are Who you really are Do you know you can be What you want to be If you try to be What you can be
Hey Black Child Do you know where you are going Where you’re really going Do you know you can learn What you want to learn If you try to learn What you can learn
Hey Black Child Do you know you are strong I mean really strong Do you know you can do What you want to do If you try to do What you can do
Hey Black Child Be what you can be Learn what you must learn Do what you can do And tomorrow your nation Will be what you what it to be By Useni Eugene Perkins
I hope this video lights a fire within and make you feel a since a pride and a new love for who you are.🖤
