Black, by Na'Quana


I think Black is a very meaningful color.
Black is Beautiful. Black is creative.
Black is most of all Bold, no smears or signs of fear in Black.
Black is solid.

When I think of “Black” I think of Martin Luther King Jr.
I think its funny how, there was segregation when he was alive, yet when he died they grieved over him. Everybody now struggles to keep King’s Dream alive. He wanted to see that one day Blacks would be equal, and will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. We now have a marked day on the calendar in remembrance of him. But many still believe in racism.
