 * Period 3 CRAMBO** - in 25 minutes

//When **Dr. King took the mic in front of Abe Lincoln**,// //He spoke of a **Dream** -what everyone was thinkin'.// //Black and white working together to **let freedom ring**,// //without a violent blow or a punch's sting.//

//The **March** led to an **Act that granted all Civil Rights**,// //so that equality seemed to be in everyone's sights.// //But America still strugged to get freedom provided// //and the movement that had flowed was becoming divided.//

** Freedom Summer ** Freedom summer began in 1964 The CFO wanted black voters lining up at the door So the SNCC targeted the high-hostility states Who wouldn't let blacks through the voting gates

Some leading people wanted it to be all black Others wanted whites too, it led to attack Violence erupted by the vigorous radicals The furious protesters broke out in massive brawls

The summer led to small amounts of registered voters A small victory for the civil rights promoters The Freedom Summer event was media coverage clad This type of encounter made the segregationists look bad

This Civil Rights step forward had taken its toll Just so people could show up at the election poll The impact of the summer was merely this: the media coverage showed racist injustice

So ends our story of racist intolerance the story made headlines, made newspaper prints the justice and freedom involved were bottomless almost kind of like a hippopotamus's esophagus

** Selma ** It was March seventh when we began We marched 54 miles just to save man Da coppers assaulted us on our way We thought all of this was not okay The SNCC led the journey Don’t stop believing is not bologna We started off in da city of Montgomery Da peeps in Selma were expecting our delivery

** Malcolm X ** "Malcolm X the man who changed his life his brand new mission caused the CRM some strife  His father died at a very young age  and with this event he began to rage

He joined the nation of islam The CRM's values he bagan to bomb No more waiting, no more peace your control of us has run out of lease.

** Chicago Freedom Movement ** MLK takes a stroll up Windy City Cuz life for blacks there ain’t so priddy Trying to make life better for blacks He be stickin to his non violent acts

Into Cicero they marched on august 26th Racist haters be throwin lots a bricks This march was not successful by fate But the blacks with lots of hate

** The Poor People's Campaign ** ‘67; Many Americans lived in Poverty Marian C. Wright said “Whites are still acting with snobbery.” MLK said “America has failed to hear our request, So let’s go get our problems addressed!”

So they got people together to prove their point, But a new president America was about to appoint, Robert Kennedy, was killed, and the movement died out, despite their strong will."

** Race Riots ** In Watts in the August of 1965 Marquette Frye decided to drink and drive So the people weren’t happy and it started a riot Looted the hood and businesses went quiet

That led to Chicago in 1966 After MLK came with rights he tried to fix Riots in the Windy City, and as the people ascertain Mobs led to damage and MLK ends his campaign

People getting money and jobs, the blacks are not So the blacks burn and loot Detroit, well that’s hot Army stops the violence, but it costs 50 mil That's enough about riots, they’re not happening still "

** Black Power ** Black power scared people made them think they're violent All they wanna do is keep em' silent Blacks were in a struggle, they needed a way out SNCC led the backs out of their doubt

Without violence, the blacks would succeed There was no reason for people to bleed. If whites wanted to join there was always room, They could clean these streets, with the freedom broom!

Spirits were high and Pride was growing it was all the result by the way things were going The whites not being leaders made em' mad the movement was important, may I add!"

** The Black Panther Party ** Black Panther Party was pro gun They shoot to kill one shot and your done Later they spread through 25 cities in OUR nation. With all their violence they were an aberration

All this was for their own freedom They wanted to be allowed to rule their own kingdom Their leaders were assassinated in 1969 All this was so they weren’t sittin’ in a bread line

** MLK's Assassination ** The night before, a speech foreshadowing his death April 4th, Loraine motel, Memphis, King took his last breath James Earl Ray accused of killing Mr. King To be sure, more investigation must be coming.

The nation mourned their horrific loss Was the killing the works of a group with a big mean boss? The amazing leader will be greatly missed And Because of him, blacks and whites can coexist
