These words were written for the 1977 Muhammad Ali biopic “The Greatest” and performed by George Benson (later made universal by Whitney Houston.)
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
We can only celebrate or debate the past, but we have the opportunity to shape the future. Let’s learn from our collective history and pave the way for our children, not just for a month out of the year, but as a way of life.
