African family reunion
How interesting it would be
To follow Alex Haley
And retrace our family tree;

Back to our native homeland
Uganda, Kenya or Chad
To see how African life was
Before the good things went bad;

It's sad we can only retrace
To a time when our people were slaves
Ancient ancestrial traditions
Carried with them to their graves;

We know little of our heritage
They refuse to teach it in school
Celebrating ethnic diversity
Is something we should all want to do;

An in depth research of black history
Would offer an amazing surprise
We've contributed much to world progress
The truth would open your eyes.
