After 400 years of trials and tests

After the removal of rights from my people and the disenfranchisement

Within a nation, today is unlike any other. The fight has not been won until we have completed the work.

Proving progress and moving towards justice. Our mantle has been set and our creed is sure. We must fight and fight on until everyone is free, every man, every woman and every child live in an American that breathes life into their dreams.

To do this we must figure out justice and stretch it to every corner.

We must create consensus and turn from inward fighting. Turn from division, resort to war lastly. 

Open up every opportunity and take every able chance to lead. We can win, we shall win, we must win and nothing shall stand in our way. No one left behind and no one outside the American Dream, all fighting together, dreaming together and equal together that's how we have overcome.
