In honor of Black History Month......

[poltr1]

What I like about this song is that it details the accomplishments of people of color. Listen to the childrens' classroom drill at the end.

Lyrics here.

Never heard this song before (all I got to hear of Stevie in 1976 was what was played on AM radio). So, as I was listening to the video while reading the lyrics, I was struck by the fact that this song about human skin color categorization was written by a blind man, who was uniquely qualified to see those categorizations as an arbitrary, limiting, & unnecessary system of pigeonholing.
