I kissed him like I hadn’t seen him in years, hadn’t felt him in ages, and missed every second we’d been apart. We broke the kiss because of the hoots and hollers of those around us, but our foreheads stayed touching.”

“Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.”
