We Remember
Adam Rosen
Grade Six
Normal. The world was calm, kind, and filled with love. The year is 1619. The black people
living in Africa got captured. We remember. They were brought on a ship and sailed
across the perilous water. We remember. They were forced to be someone, something,
who they weren ’ t. They became slaves: worthless slaves. But they persevered, and
remembered their peaceful past. They sang and prayed for freedom. Courageous heroes
rescued them. The heroes risked their lives to free the slaves. Our heroes saved the victims
so now all of us, together, can remember.
Hope Stands Tall
Gideon Rose
Grade Six
Hope stands tall
even after the water they were born on
tried to extinguish their flame of hope
Unconditional hope is built from prayers and tradition
even after separation
even after lies
even after fear
Hope shines in the darkness of
slavery and racism
