First man to die
For the flag we now hold high
Was a black man (Crispus Attucks)
The ground where we stand
With the flag held in our hand
Was first the redman's
Guide of a ship
On the first Columbus trip
Was a brown man (Pedro Alonzo Nino)
The railroads for trains
Came on tracking that was laid
By the yellow man
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red,blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It's time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men
Heart surgery
Was first done successfully
By a black man (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams)
Friendly man who died
But helped the pilgrims to survive
Was a redman (Squanto)
Farm workers' rights
Were lifted to new heights
By a brown man (Cesar Chavez)
Incandescent light
Was invented to give sight
By the white man (Thomas Edison)
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red,blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It's time we learned
This World Was Made For All Men
Hear Me Out.
Now I know that the birthday of a nation
Is a time when a country celebrates
But as your hand touches your heart
Remember we all played a part in America
To help that banner wave
First clock to be made
In America was created
By a black man (Benjamin Banneker)
Scout who used no chart
Helped lead Lewis and Clark
Was a red woman (Sacagawea)
Use of martial arts-acap
