Always remember our past and our ancestors.

 Lest we forget...

Always Remember Our Past and Our Ancesters.

For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

HARLEM

By Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

Like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it says

Like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

I, Too

By Langston Hughes

I, too sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

Tomorrow, 

I'll be at the table

When company comes

Nobody's dare say to me,

"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.

Besides,

They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.
