Power in 1

One step in the right direction,

One choice to change law,

One person brave in pursuit,

One stood the pain of all.

One refusal that challenges rights,

One speech that we remember still,

One act ripples through time,

One victory because of will.

One graduate of color,

One woman who could vote,

One Jewish free of Nazis,

One Teen who voiced and wrote.

One second of a minute,

One minute of an hour,

An hour of a day,

A Day signifying power.
