Make Our Ancestors Proud
We will think like Garvey, uplifting our communities
Or Dare like Shirley to defy all boundaries
Lead like Harriet, fearless on the run.
Fight like Malcolm, for justice to be won.
We will dream like Martin, write like Maya, speak like Frederick;
Our black Excellence will be avowed!
So let’s continue to make our ancestors proud
We will think like Garvey, uplifting our communities
Or Dare like Shirley to defy all boundaries
Lead like Harriet, fearless on the run.
Fight like Malcolm, for justice to be won.
We will dream like Martin, write like Maya, speak like Frederick;
