Black History Month

When Dr. King was just a boy, he had himself a dream
He said I’m gonna speak big words someday
I’m gonna take the lead
So he went down to Birmingham
Led his people from the past
He said, “Great God Almighty,
We’re free at last!”

Words acts, talent and brains
These are the things that made us great
February’s Black History month
This is why we celebrate
This is why we celebrate
Black History Month

George Washington Carver
Was born into slavery
Too sick to work in the fields
So he studied botany

Words acts, talent and brains
These are the things that made us great
February’s Black History month
This is why we celebrate
This is why we celebrate
Black History Month

He taught the world a better way to farm
How to help the tired soil heal
He discovered new ways to use peanuts
For more than just a meal

Words acts, talent and brains
These are the things that made us great
February’s Black History month
This is why we celebrate
This is why we celebrate
Black History Month
