Who Am I

Who am I a civil right activist born on December 13, 1903
Who am I. I joined many social activist organizations.
Who am I. Involved in the NAACP working as a field secretary.
Who am I. In April 1960 I had organized the SNCC due to the Woolworth sit-in.
Who am I. I once said, 'This may be only a ream of mine, but I think it can be made real.'
So who am I.
Who am I A black fiery nationalist leader born May 19, 1925.
Who am I, I am the 4th of 8 children that is a spokeman for the Islam nation.
Who am I, Encounter racism before i was born.
Who am I, arrested on charges of larceny and sentenced to ten years in jail.
So who am I.
Who am I, I am a african american black woman that is the youngest of 20 children.
Who am I, When I was young my mother gave me a black doll so i could have self confedence.
Who am I, Became a sharecropper just like my mother and father.
Who am I, In 1962 i have gotten arrested just for trying to register to vote.
Who am I, I got beaten and suffered kidney damage with partial blindness
So who am I
We are the people who change the world today So who are we
