We are still here.
We are still working for change every day
You may not see us, but we have been working in our communities all along
We NEVER stopped
We NEVER will
"action is our duty"
We are not pollyannas or even optimists anymore, we are too old for that
We are idealists - we still believe in reaching for the stars
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
