Books as shackles

Jail cells new plantations

While our education is held hostage

System refugees

Freedom is when solidarity is no longers mistaken as rioting

One person can't make a differnce nor can one city

It's 2015 and America is just know realizing that as Black Americans we have to defray

Modern-Day Slavery

Egotistical Republicans (White Boy, White Girl)

Egotistical Republicans (White Boy, White Girl)

Egotistical Republicans (White Boy, White Girl)

Who else wants our freedom?
