Black History
Pay attention to yesterday
The most influential yore of all.
Does yesterday make you shiver?
Yesterday made history, that’s Black History
I saw the together forward motion of my people
Does that make you shiver?
Black History runs deep and it’s pretty
Pretty to my Eyes, pretty to my Ears, and pretty to my Mind.
Black History contributes to the way you live right now,
And you probably don’t even know it, let alone Appreciate it.
Today and every day,
Before and After yesterday is Black history in the making!
When I think of February and Every day, I see and hear Powerful People.
Never Forget and Underestimate Black History Influence EVERY DAY!
