I Am Black and White
I am black and white.
I wonder about the past.
I hear the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I see discrimination.
I want peace and prosperity.
I am black and white.
I pretend racism doesn’t exist.
I feel pride about who I am.
I touch both worlds.
I worry that we are not ready for change.
I cry for those who have sacrificed.
I am black and white.
I understand hope.
I say I can make a difference.
I dream of a world free of prejudice.
I try to treat all fairly.
I hope I am the future.
I am black and white.
