James Baldwin used his words To tell us how he felt To show what made him happy To say what made him melt James Baldwin used his words To say what made him mad To show us what is broken To tell us what is bad James Baldwin used his words To say what can be changed To show what can be better His words they do explain That you can love a country That love is what inspires A person to use words To lift the country higher James Baldwin used his words In stories and in plays James Baldwin used his words To show us better ways

No chains could hold her She's far too strong No one could stop her She's good as gone Once she found freedom She could have stayed But she went back To free more enslaved Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad bound Listen for That freedom sound That freedom sound She used the stars She used her ears She sang in code As she steered That freedom train Bound for Glory Sing her song Tell her story Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad bound Listen for That freedom sound That freedom sound That freedom sound That freedom sound That freedom sound

Mae Jemison Always loved to dance She did a twirl And took a big chance Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison She spun towards science And dreamt of the sky When Mae said "Space!" Others said "why?" Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison No one who looked like her Had ever been to space The folks in charge Had thoughts about race But Mae knew she had the stuff To be an astronaut When they said "why?" Mae said "why not?" Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison In a Space Shuttle Mae danced towards the stars First Black woman in space! Next stop mars! Oh! Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison Mae Jemison Dr. Mae Jemison

This Is the story Of the great Major Taylor Biking champ Of the world But his journey Wasn't easy His bike was fast His battle uphill The great Major Taylor His fans were many So were his foes For the great Major Taylor They said "You can't race" And "You're out of place" To the great Major Taylor He said "Yes I can" And "I will win" Pedal On! Major Taylor So he just Pedaled harder Past the cheers And the boos For the great Major Taylor Was too great To lose! Pedal On! Pedal On! Like the great Major Taylor Pedal On! Pedal On! Like the great Major Taylor
