PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today I’m thankful for people…

in a country where freedom has never been as easy for everyone as it should be…

who are courageous enough to teach are country’s true history.

People like Lucille Clifton…a famous poet who knew 

Teaching an alternative form of history was absurd…

I think she said it best so I’ll leave you with her words

When faced with being taught a different history than she knew and lived

She respectfully declined,

Saying…

They ask me to remember

But they want me to remember their memories

and I keep on remembering mine.
