History Before Me

by Dayzhane Dunn
Grade 4
Webster Magnet School

Before I was born

there were slaves born

before I was born

I was in my mom's stomach.

Before I was born

my brother went to prom

before I was born

my mom and dad got married

before I was born

the white people were killing black people

before I was born

black people made art

before I was born 

the Titanic sunk

before I was born

there was something called

the Harlem Renaissance.
