AACBringing+the+gifts+that+my+ancestors+gave,

"Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. " This image shows four of many civil right leaders, that fought for the gift of freedom and people predominately white people tried to put them down. But they still rose above their standers fighting for their rights. They and many others before them left us these gifts such as freedom, the right to vote, mixed schools and many others. These leaders fought a horrible "war" that went on for years and that is still going on, this is what I interpreted from these two lines in the poem and the picture.
