There
is a sweet smell of roses in the air as the girls sneak out of their house
in the early morning. They are on their way to join the march.
They listen to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. tell of freedom and equality
and then they march. They march with all the others. They hear
the jeers along the way but still they march. They march for freedom. |
