There are three things that set up black women apart and they are soul, spirit and self. It's a unique and unparalleled quality that gives them their clad. Is what I see, they are beautiful yet bold, tender, you have tough, with God giving softness which makes them tender to the touch. Yet power enough to live a black man to stand and inner strength that they brought from the motherland. They were also instrumental in helping their men survive the masters with. We kept them in spirit on all through that long, harsh trip. When the master needed pleasure, Jesus held back their tear after the rain, had the wisdom not to tell their men and hopes to keep them safe. When all the men and boys were placed on an auction block and so she kept what family left and never did she waver over. Let's not forget how the civil right movement was born by an elegant black lady who was just simply too tired and warm. But she stood strong and was jailed for her defiant. From that, she caught that eye of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who made her his client. For 381 days, the masters are strong with their boycott, keeping all the buses off the speed and idle on their lives. So tell me, where will we be for not for the black women of yesterday year? Probably still picking cotton and some field with all the hearts and fears.
