(People Make History, History Do Not Make People)
(Quote by the President of this Company)
If African American Speeches Did Not Exist
If African American Speeches did not exist.
Then the speech I have a dream
Would not have become Americas civil rights theme
or
Which would have been a lost
Stand by those princple
Be true to them, On all occasions
In all places, Against all foes
at whatever cost
If African American Speeches did not exist
That the laws of changeless justice
Bind oppressor with oppressed
And close as sin and suffering joined
We march to fate abreast
or
Would not have been heard
Most eloquent famous words
If African American Speeches did not exist
The different cultures in the world, would not have met
Thurgood Marshall against the Supreme Court Judges
And now Barack O'bama's Speech
When he accepted the Democratic endorsement
If African American Speeches did not exist
Where would we be as a society
This poem could not even fit
Because this is an African American Speech
Through the art of poetry
