“And before they finally went to sleep at night,

they prayed about freedom and made plans

for change and a better future.

Some slaves ran north to freedom, following

a bright star in the sky.”

“They sweat, they bled, and they cried

till those cries were quieted by a single

proclamation from a brave president.

Grandpa Mose heard that proclamation

read from the balcony of the hotel on that

warm June day in Galveston, Texas.”

“Grandpa Mose heard nothing but cheers,

saw nothing but happiness, and felt nothing

but pride shared by all those around him. The

cheers became dancing. The dancing became

celebrating. It went on and on into the night.”
