I am a ninety—one year old citizen of my country, the United States. I was born and reared in the deep south of the state of Georgia. I have lived through many vicissitudes of shaky ups and downs, trying to realize, “What really is America?
I would hear the resounding words of “America the Beautiful; I was mandated to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States; and I would hear the enduing words from the Declaration of Independence that, “All men were created equal.” But that song and those ornate words did not apply to black Americans in the United States.
Consequently, for 188 years, through slavery and through segregation and discrimination, racism prevailed supreme. And it shall always be my vocation to help to abolish the sting of racism, that gulf between the United States and “America!”
