What does it mean to possess civil rights?
Does it mean we’re part of a special caste?
Or do these rights distinguish blacks from whites?
The true meaning is expressed in our past.

Civil rights are what make us united.
Every person should have these basic rights.
Liberties keep our passions ignited.
Without them we would have unceasing fights.

Rosa Parks influenced society,
When she refused to give up her bus seat.
Malcolm X represented piety
Because he helped lead the civil rights fleet.

Whether your name is Nguyen, Ali, or Singh,
We’re all equal because of Doctor King.
