In celebration of Black History month, during February the Lancaster City Democratic Committee salutes past and present Black City Committee persons for their struggles, accomplishments and work achieved for the City of Lancaster.
“In a world of superheroes, in a world of weak and strong,
In a sea of have and have nots, I’ve survived the raging storm.
And I pray for a world where we all can be free.
It’s a heavenly vision, it’s a garden that I see,
It’s a joy that graced the heart of loving me.”
