Hello Whitman,

I will not call you my brother

I will not give you sympathy

But what I will do is educate you

The 1800s were a diffrent time

A time when POC were not even seen as Americans

But it is 2021 and we see everyone as equal

Well not everyone thinks the same

Cause some people still have the same mindset you had

They think of the white men as the workers and the white woman as the mothers

But I think women of all colors and sizes can do the same work as a white man

They will have to work 10x harder

And never give up

But they can accomplish the same or even better work than the white man.

And the song that they sing and the songs that we all sing

Is the song of acceptance

The song of never giving up

And the song of hope for a better future

inspirational
