Claudette


 
 
Claudette

 

6 train to Parkchester…next stop…11 H.

 

My country ‘tis of thee…sweet land of liberty.

 

Door opens wide…Miss Colvin is that you?

 

To thee..We sing.

 

Dr. Colvin teach me now…don’t need no Ph.D.

 

Land where our father’s died…land of the pilgrim’s pride.

 

Queen Claudette…you are Alabama…America the Beautiful.

 

From…every mountain side.

 

Don’t need a picture…I kissed royalty on the cheek.

 

Let..freedom ring!

 

 

 

Inspired by My conversation with Claudette Colvin...Marion Anderson
