Just as Jefferson thought he’d escaped his blood— He raped his slave Sally, now his name’s mud. Just as Jackson believed he made his legacy last— His crimes against the First People will never pass. Just as Johnson thought he’d set blacks back— We’ve reconstructed Andrew's image for what he lacked. Just as Wilson sought to revive the Klan— A black man rose and said, “Yes We Can.” Just as 45 made his shots on Fifth Avenue— Now that genius has much to rue.
