Alexis Sprague

I am a slave
Traded and sold by white men
Forced to work in fields for little or nothing
I am a slave
I'm not perfect because of my color
I'm inferior to the white men above me
I am a slave
Thought of as property
And not as a human being
I am a creature, an it, a slave
But despite what they say I am more than that
Greater than a creature, an it, or a slave
I am a PERSON
