Inspired by What do you do with a voice like
that? The story of extraordinary
Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. Written
by: Chris Barton and Illustrated by Ekua
Holmes.
A woman
before her time
Intelligent,
charismatic, personable, persuasive, caring, brave, with a Dream
A Dream for
the world, for the Country, for the People and Blessed Populace
While others
played she dreamed, counted and mentally flew in a land of the Great Texans
With a voice
that said I will, I will, I will fight for you, love you and dream with you
Even though
it may seem impossible, I will be America and fight the impressionistic, I will
take a chance for I love you all
Fear is
what, Fear is dear as my mother’s and father’s tears but I will press on for a
story to be told and heard
Inspired by
stimulating intellectual value she moved, grew and evolved to become one of the
first black female lawyers
A leader, A
leader to exemplify her oratorical abilities she accepted her ability and went
forward to dream of making wrongs right, to see both sides and even then she
remembered who she was
Fighting for
a New America to be free, a chance to enter the political arena to put those
changes in place and help the all
Her motto
was and is still more justice, more equality, free the people of the yoke of
oppression in a time of fear, supporting the need for laws and structural
protection of the inner core of the country
Protecting
the workforce of America and seeing the need of all once again as a Voice that
cares
Representing
her race and sex admirably she moved to the next step as first a Texas State
Senator, then in 1972 to a United States Congresswoman in Washington, D.C.
Risking all
she took a stance during the troubled time of President Nixon tenure and stayed
faithful to the Constitution
Our
Constitution as she stated is our all and anything against it and the People is
not to be allowed
We are
People, the Constitution is the very life, blood and flesh and mind and heart
of the People, Country and Nation
She became a
right in the chaos of disaster and mayhem when she defended her stance
The Dream of
America shone in her life as a Beacon of Sweet Justice and Life
She Became.
E – Equality
J – Justice Without we are not Human!
T – Trust
