Generations

The sons and daughters of Kings and Queens, Warriors, Priest and Priestess, and other great leaders were captured and forced into slavery.

The sons and daughters of slaves became sharecroppers, farm and field hands, rail workers, and a few became the forgotten majority of cowboys,

The sons and daughters sharecroppers, farm and field hands, rail workers, and a few forgotten majority of cowboys, moved across states and plains to become maids, butlers, formans, full time and part time.

The sons and daughters of maids, butlers, formans, full time and part time chased a dollar and a dream and became pimps, hustlers, poets, musicians, doctors, lawyers, city, county, and state workers.

The sons and daughters of pimps, hustlers, poets, musicians, doctors, lawyers, city, county, and state workers sought a new dream and became solders, generals, senators, governors, drug dealers, rappers, athletes, and presidents.
