O say can we see, by the Gone’s early flight,
What so loudly we failed at the mornlight’s past gleaming,
Whose flawed stripes and strifed scars, through the perilous plight,
Our wan hearts, we watched, stirred and valiantly screaming. (1/2)
POWERFUL! Black Americans have endured the destruction of our generational wealth, political power, and social capital in the history of this nation. To move forward and correct past injustices, we MUST receive racial equity and justice!
