Favorite Quote:
"Spread love everywhere you go!"


Equality flows throughout the air,

But hatred and discrimination are everywhere

Different colors, and different cultures

Unique minds with dissimilar infrastructures

Different hair, with curls and waves

Hair that braids and misbehaves

Straightened hair that fights its natural being

Beautiful voices that protest and sing 

Fighting to be noticed, and begging to be heard

Wanting justice for crimes that have occurred

Discriminatory words, often overlooked

Reading about history through old-timey books

As history repeats, again and again

We say a prayer, that ends with Amen
