I am apart of history <br />History lies deep down inside of me <br />I am like Martin Luther King <br />Just like him I'm going to let freedom ring <br />I am like Mary Bethune <br />Because like Maya Angelou I walk like I got oil wells pumping in my living room <br />I am apart of history <br />History is important to me <br />I am like Charles DREW <br />Like him I can be a scientist too <br />I am like Malcolm X <br />Come on my sisters and brothers we have to stop that <br />I am like Chainey, Schwenger and Moore <br />I will get people to vote I will go to every door <br />I am apart of history <br />I accept the rights my ancestors gave to me <br />I am like Jackie Robinson <br />Lokking in the sky at my home runs <br />I am like Harriet Tubman <br />Taking slaves to their freedom land <br />I am like Medgar Evers <br />Like him I too can be clever <br />I am like Barack Obama <br />Rising above to greatness despite the drama <br />I am apart of history <br />History is deep down inside of me<br /><br />Jeanette Matthews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-apart-of-history/
