I have always been a huge Stevie Wonder<\/a> fan.\u00a0\u00a0 And his song Black Man<\/em>\u00a0 has always been one of my favorites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In celebration of Black History Month, #44, that which has come to pass, and that which is to be, it is only fitting that we help our readers, old and new to get (re)acquainted with this phenomenal artist and his amazing work.<\/p>\n

Black Man <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

First man to die
\nFor the flag we now hold high (crispus attucks)
\nWas a black man<\/p>\n

The ground were we stand
\nWith the flag held in our hand
\nWas first the redmans<\/p>\n

Guide of a ship
\nOn the first columbus trip (pedro alonzo nino)
\nWas a brown man<\/p>\n

The railroads for trains
\nCame on tracking that was laid
\nBy the yellow man<\/p>\n

We pledge allegiance
\nAll our lives
\nTo the magic colors
\nRed, blue and white
\nBut we all must be given
\nThe liberty that we defend
\nFor with justice not for all men
\nHistory will repeat again
\nIts time we learned
\nThis world was made for all men<\/p>\n

Heart surgery
\nWas first done successfully
\nBy a black man (dr daniel hale williams)<\/p>\n

Friendly man who died
\nBut helped the pilgrims to survive (squanto)
\nWas a redman<\/p>\n

Farm workers rights
\nWere lifted to new heights (caesar chavez)
\nBy a brown man<\/p>\n

Incandescent light
\nWas invented to give sight (thomas edison)
\nBy the white man<\/p>\n

We pledge allegiance
\nAll our lives
\nTo the magic colors
\nRed, blue and white
\nBut we all must be given
\nThe liberty that we defend
\nFor with justice not for all men
\nHistory will repeat again
\nIts time we learned
\nThis world was made for all men<\/p>\n

Here me out…<\/p>\n

Now I know the birthday of a nation
\nIs a time when a country celebrates
\nBut as your hand touches your heart
\nRemember we all played a part in america
\nTo help that banner wave<\/p>\n

First clock to be made
\nIn america was created
\nBy a black man (benjamin banneker)<\/p>\n

Scout who used no chart
\nHelped lead lewis and clark
\nWas a redman (sacagawea)<\/p>\n

Use of martial arts
\nIn our country got its start
\nBy a yellow man<\/p>\n

And the leader with a pen
\nSigned his name to free all men
\nWas a white man (abraham lincoln)<\/p>\n

We pledge allegiance
\nAll our lives
\nTo the magic colors
\nRed, blue and white
\nBut we all must be given
\nThe liberty that we defend
\nFor with justice not for all men
\nHistory will repeat again
\nIts time we learned
\nThis world was made for all men<\/p>\n

This world was made for all men
\nThis world was made for all men
\nThis world was made for all men
\nGod saved his world for all men
\nAll people
\nAll babies
\nAll children
\nAll colors
\nAll races
\nThis worlds for you
\nAnd me
\nThis world
\nMy world
\nYour world
\nEverybodys world
\nThis world
\nTheir world
\nOur world
\nThis world was made for all men<\/p>\n
