In Class Discussion

We began to read “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy and I’m afraid of the song’s sensitivity. The teacher standing with a look that says “I hope they’re feeling me.” We get to the end and out of the mouth of Destiny comes. This song is about being free and having freedom, but we’re still not free even today. I’m stuck and not sure of what to say, and then, I notice Lawrence throwing up his fist and I’m wondering this…
Is there Passion here?
Does this mean they actually care?
9th graders so elated discussing our current state. This time has been long awaited and I would hate…for this moment to end for fear that another moment like this God may not send.
