Shout! By Addie Miller (Civil Rights)

Shout!
We. Are a people.
And We. Have dreams, too.
We want equal rights.
Because of our race, our color, We. Are discriminated against.
We. Are the same as Everyone else in these rooms, these streets, the corners that we walk around.
We. Are separated.
But We. Are equal.
We realize that We. Are different in a way.
That. Does not make us criminals.
We. Are a people.
And We. Have dreams, too.
We want equal rights.
We. Just want to belong.
To be accepted among You.
Please. Hear us out.
Hear our voices.
Hear us SHOUT!
We. Just want to belong.
