THE LEGEND OF HERITAGE

Legacy Education

The man being Medgar Wiley Evers

His voice with Civil Rights Decree

It was Civil Rights awareness to the world to see

Medgar Evers being of outraged spoken words

Truth in needing to heard

His philosophy extending into expression becoming a lesson 

But let me relate to Medgar Evers in education

I had the honor, privilege and opportunity to attend CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE

The principles with Civil Rights concentrating on education being a Constitutional right

The message being “Higher Learning in Excel at any Race”

 

Meet education face to face

Don’t let your mind just go to waste

Gold is only a camouflage shine

What’s true within the heart having determination and desire in helping others regardless of race in bringing out one’s true potential in looking beyond the color of one’s skin

This is not something accidental

It is not something seasonal

It’s a chosen right

This was the reason in the Civil Rights fight

Medgar Evers saw the flaw in American’s thinking

He was compelled to shout out

It didn’t matter being just like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr if Death would be involved

This was Medgar Evers in seeing that Civil Rights needing a resolve

 

But it required Unity by all in being involved

An empty plate makes one hungry, and an empty glass makes one thirsty

But when you add the food it becomes the fulfillment, and in a task if what already will be accomplished

Civil Rights was a mission that Medgar Evers wanted to face

Medgar was determined that he wasn’t going to let America just let it erase

It wasn’t a Black nor White issue but equality in all races being justified

I had the pleasure to see the Medgar Evers Family personally up close and personal

 

Now Medgar Evers was a World War II Veteran

Field Secretary for the NAACP

Former Soldier Medgar Evers is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia

Honor and dignity with a stance of salute

A quote being Medgar Evers personal words, “You can kill a man, but you can’t kill an Idea”

It’s about establishment with a fight that shall continue even today 2019.
