One day a black woman boarded the bus. <br />The driver ordered her to the back to her disgust. <br />She was proud of her color. <br />Proud of her race. <br />Determined not to suffer this disgrace. <br />So she dug deep into her heart and soul, <br />Overcoming fear was her goal. <br />She looked back and saw a prison. <br />She turned to the front and saw liberation. <br />In the front she did remain. <br />One link in the civil rights freedom chain.<br /><br />Jeff Fleischer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rosa-parks-2/
