#30 I am truly an African
The man who say's, I am African,
Is not ashamed of his name
He puts on the feet of an elephant
And proud to always remember his home
He is not a man, shy in heart,
Not afraid of rain and storm
He is strong in all he does
I tell you, I am truly an African.
He is black, bold and sensible,
He is always a champion,
He is not ashamed when told,
You're from a jungle, of cause is false
When he is called, MMAMDA!
He answer's with a great shout.
He dare not changes his dress,
Just to please someone else.
He holds onto the discipline of his fathers
And passes them to his children, he
Gathers all his kids by moon light,
And tell them the secret of their parents
I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me.
Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my
goals, my own; get used to me.
-- Muhammad Ali The Greatest (1975)
You can be up to your boobies in white satin, with gardenias in your hair
and no sugar cane for miles, but you can still be working on a plantation.--
Billie Holiday
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has
reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to
succeed. -- Booker T. Washington

We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we
need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the
world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.
-- Carter Woodson on founding Negro History Week, 1926
