He Wrote Back

Once upon a time,
a black woman and a white man
got married in Washington, D. C.
The police arrested them and
sent them to jail.

They had to leave the state.
One night the woman sat down
and wrote a letter to Bobby
Kennedy.
He wrote back.
And that's what led to the overturn
of laws in the U. S that
kept black people and white people
from getting married.
