Text

Stand up for what’s right
Human heart and love of freedom
Sacred rights for all people
Onward, upward, forward we go!
So love right and do right to live right
Just be right
Equality, unity lifting as we climb – and that’s right
Forward we go with promise and hope
Lifting as we climb – and that’s right

-Text compiled, inspired, and quoted from Mary Church Terrell
