SEPARATE BUT equal
Pre-civil rights era
White people were convinced we
Should all live separate but equal.
Segregated
My land is my land your land is your
Land kind of thing no discrimination
Separate but equal.
Negroe people were like yeah
We can live with that too we don't need
To occupy the same space in conflict.
We can be self-sufficient do for
Ourselves just give us our 40 acres
And a mule we can work with that
Just give us a fair deal. As the years passed
Things did not change prejudice and
Racism raised it's ugly head in hunger
And a movement for change was born
