Happy Black History Month ✊🏾!
I go to a predominantly white school and it hasn’t been easy; there are 10 people of color currently in the whole upper school, if memory serves. So, last year I decided to write a poem about it. The poem is about the slow emergence of people of color into the school. Hope you enjoy it!
In a Sea of Caucasian, there was one
Their journey was especially “fun”
People looked and stared, especially the impaired
But their journey was yet far from done
In a Sea of Caucasian, there was few
A term that sometimes means two
People looked and stared, especially the impaired
But still, nobody had a clue
In a Sea of Caucasian, there was some
And some people thought they were dumb
People looked and stared especially the impaired
But the some were yet far from numb
In a Sea of Caucasian, there was many
But still not as much as the plenty
Not as many people stared, but still the impaired
And it was hard to stay faithful to the many
In honor of Black History Month, please take this quiz to test your knowledge of famous black women.
