The LOOK
The first time I saw this look on their face,
Was when I applied to OU Law School, despite my race.
I was denied, and it became a civil rights case
Now I've won, and I stand here with grace.
I see the astonished white faces, just like the first time.
Only now there's not just a look on their faces, but also a look on mine.
I did what they thought was impossible, crossing a racial line.
And all they get to do NOW is watch as I sign.
