The Silent Parade Of 1917 Was Anything But Silent
They Were Marching Because The Whites Were Getting Really Violent
Physically They Were Silent
But Mentally They Were Screaming
\"Please, Please Stop The Beating!\"
Truth Was They Didn\'t Have To Speak A Word
You Could See How They Felt From Their Solemn Faces
10,000 African Americans Gathered Around
You Would\'ve Thought You Heard A Few Sounds
All That Was Heard Was The Shuffling Of Their Shoes On The Ground
People In Those Times Often Thought That Even Though Slavery Was Over, African Americans Were Still Slaves
And Could Be Taken Advantage Of
This Is Not The Case.
