Mr. Civil Rights

Mr. Civil Rights

Raised for the fight or reared as they said

back in the day before the word "negro" was dead

Studious, smart and liked to party a bit

You said, "You intended to wear life like a loose garment"

But make no mistake your destiny would not be denied

Dismantling the institutional wall of american apartheid

Teamed with the NAACP

litigiously chipping away at the ugly side of america's personality

You were determined, strong, boisterous, true 

And now the world owes a debt of gratitude to you

Judge Thurgood Marshall,

Mr. Civil rights as you were called

Because of you, the" Separate But Equal" fallacy would fall

No longer would the color of ones skin, cause them to be banned
And you, distinguished sir, would ascend to the highest
court in the land
