February’s tribute a story unfolds
Of strength and struggle young and old
From chins to freedom a journey so grand
A heritage of pride in this promised land.
Voices of ancestors echoing through time
Martin, Malcom and Harriet shine
Innovators, artists, leaders in every way.
Jazz and blues, soulful cries
a culture vibrant reading for skies
Resilience in struggle hope in pain
a people’s heritage forever remain.
So let us honor let us celebrate
The past that shaped us, the future we will create
In every heartbeat their legacy lives on
Black history a story forever woven strong.
