Assignment 8: Civil War Perspectives- Blog Post



33Freedmen's School Poem

33 young children
33 young lives as they wait for freedom
They starve they crave they mourn
33 young children wanting freedom

33 young lives wait for freedom
33 young children want to read
33 young children want freedom
They just want equal opportunities
Equal rights, equal rights to vote

Freedmen school 33 young children that need help
33 children that look for hope, pride
And opportunities like other white children
33 young children
33 young lives as they wait for freedom

Freedom as one priority
Freedom for slaves
Freedom for all blacks
33 young lives that want houses
33 young children that want nice clothes
33 people and children that need help
