We are shadows.
We are beneath you, behind you, wherever you may go.
You cannot escape us.
We cannot escape you.
We are your shadows.
We are one.

We are not afraid.
We will shine in the names of King, Parks, X, and Bois.
We will rise from the ground.
We will stand beside you, behind you, in front of you.
Hold my hand.
We are one.

We are here.
Know us, recognize us, accept us.
We are everywhere you go, around you, watching you.
We are humans with equal rights.
We are no different.
We are one.
