Unsung

Hosea Williams went to war
He lost his squad to blood and gore
Society kept shut the door
More stranger home than at the tour

Rustin made the movement run
Convinced a King to drop his gun
His legacy became undone
For who he loved, folks had their fun

Parks did more than take a seat
The lie said it was aching feet
She stood for Recy and did not retreat
History’s ignored her greatest feat
