To make your dream a reality.

Booker T. Washington,

You led your people with great might.

You taught them to work,

And to build their own future bright.

You knew that education

Was the key to their success.

You built schools and colleges,

And gave them the tools to progress.

You were a man of great vision,

And you saw a better future for all.

You worked tirelessly

To make your dream a reality.

Your legacy lives on,

In the lives of all who have followed your lead.

You are a true inspiration,

To all who strive to succeed.

Your motive was simple,

To help your people rise up.

You knew that education

Was the key to their uplift.

You were a man of great courage,

And you faced many challenges along the way.

But you never gave up,

And you never wavered from your goal.

You are a true American hero,

And your story will be told for generations to come.

You are an inspiration to us all,

And we will never forget your legacy.
