Obstacles
We've been fighting for equality for hundreds of years
My ancestors had to shed blood , sweat & tears for me to be here.
The paths for others was clear but ours had a lot of debris,
It's ok to disagree but in my “o.p” for them it was easy.
They never taught us how to speak, write or read
…Yet we still succeed
They treated us like property not people
To them we just weren't as equal
We overcame slavery,segregation and discrimination
... Now look at the president of our nation.
