I appreciate having an occasion to share this poem at the recent University High School Black Graduation event. These young people will be the creators of a new world.

You can feel the changes
As the people begin to move
From Earth’s every corner
Bringing with them hope and strength
Knowing their dreams can soon take flight
In the new world they will create
You can see the changes
As the people begin to rise
Loosed from the shackles of fear
Breaking the bonds of ignorance
Rejecting the power of separation
In the new world they will create
You can hear the changes
As the people begin to sing
Songs of courage and strength
New as a baby’s cry
Old as the language of life
In the new world they will create
You can be the changes
As the people begin to build
Bridges from one to all
Forged from peace and justice
Raised on love and truth
In the new world we will create
