Now, we are no closer to the promise of America as it was back then. Even now white people are asking themselves that. The injustice upon which America was born has never been eradicated. It still exists and it ropes in everyone.
We must fight for it. We must fight for ourselves. For America. To live for the ideas. To fight for the ideas. Let’s remember this is ours, too. It’s their’s as well.
