RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TRUE HISTORY
Cultural Courage
Children have the courage of conviction
Unfiltered truth can only make them strong
Facts will serve as sound-of-mind nutrition
Sorting out the righteous from the wrong
History cannot survive as fiction
America’s a place where all belong
The stories of betrayal and sedition
Will not remain well hidden for too long
So let the truth be rendered loud and clear
Slavery and genocide were real
Confront it without compromise or fear
Let our wounds at last begin to heal
When finally our reckoning begins
America will light a shining flame
When we freely tell the story of our sins
The promise will be more than just a name
