"Breaking the Chains: A Poem on the Legacy of Slavery"
"Remembering the Past, Fighting for Freedom"
Bonds of slavery, chains of pain
Echoes of the past, cries in vain
A history stained with blood and tears
A legacy of oppression and fear
Men and women torn from home
Forced to labor, forced to roam
Their bodies used, their spirits broken
Their lives forever altered, forever stolen
But hope still blooms, in the darkest night
For freedom's fire, burns ever bright
And though the road ahead may be long
Equality and justice, will one day belong
To all the enslaved, who fought and died
We honor your memory, and will not be denied
The right to live, to love, to be free
For all humanity, equality will be.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
