I am from sunshine and palm trees And Hiawassee orange groves. I am from fish fries And BBQ's for all and any occasion. I am from chitlin' and grits And meats gravy smothered. I am from migrant work And housekeepers And first-generation college complete. I am from Clara and Walter's dream Integrating FTU aka UCF Traveling from Black populated Orange Center To suburban Pine Hills: year 1973. I am from a King with a vision An X with an agenda An Angelou with a song. I am from a family branch Sprouting from a deep cultural heritage tree Bearing fruit that must be passed on.
