"Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise." --Maya Angelou
Resilience
This beautiful video was developed by a group of National Park Service staff and interns to explore the trauma, resilience, and beauty of the African American experience in our country. The story of black history in America may have been lost and forgotten at times, but this film uses beautiful photography and the words of Maya Angelou's poem "Still I Rise" to illustrate the beauty and courage of those who have withstood discrimination and hate.
BE THE CHANGE
Look at the ways resilience has influenced your own family and cultural perspective by connecting with our communal ancestors as a human race and allow their stories to give you courage to overcome your own challenges.
