day 294

“Should you not know justice?—” Micah 3:1c 

 with teachers like Harriet, 
Frederick, and Sojourner, 
with mentors such as 
Rosa, Martin, Cesar, Russell, 
with martyrs like Emmett, 
George, and Breonna, 
surely we should know justice 
but too often, 
we act 
as if we slept 
through those classes
