Quotations
'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.'

We Still Rise!

 From Slavery to Lynchings 

From Chains to Beatings

From Segregation to Integration

From Racism to Freedom

We Still Rise!

From the cotton fields to the baseball Fields

From the back of the bus to the front of the lines

We Still Rise!

From slaps in our face to hugs around our necks

From Insecurity to Security

From Living on the streets to living in Mansions

We Still Rise!

From ropes around our necks to diamonds on our fingers

From making a dollar a week to making millions a week

From braiding our hair to weaving our hair

We Still Rise!

From walking miles to freedom to driving Cadillacs & Hummers

From not drinking from the fountains to now drinking from Crystal

From wearing hand me downs to furs, minks and royal satin

We Still Rise!

From Lack of direction to creativity and endless Inventions

From African Dance to tap dancing and ballet

From Jungle movies to movie screens and the Walk of Fame

We Still Rise!

 

From Lack of Education to PHD’s

From senseless acts to falling on our knees

From being disregarded, yet knowing whose we are

We Still Rise, because we are the children of the King,

and Simply because we’re still human beings.
