In the darkness created by the cruel hand of history,

Black woman, strong, open heart.

She faces adversity with unwavering grace,

Her spirits lifted, her smile narrowing.

Through trials and storms, she stands her ground,

Breaking down all barriers, she gave her all.

With every step she made her way,

For a brighter, more equal and fairer day.

Her dreams are unshakable, her voice growing louder,

In front of prejudices, she showed pride. A ray of hope, her story unfolds,

Above all, she persisted through it all,

Came out of the darkness,

A winning black woman changed the world.
