"
Where the white gleam
of our star is Cast
Johnson is personifying the fact that living in a country where White has taken center stage; black people have proved that we are equally a part of the world, shining bright, making our way despite a gloomy past, "our bright star is cast."

Meaning
Even though Life made my upbringing sound like Thelma in the “Good Times” clan. While singing and dancing, I’ve always known God had for me a very special plan. Yes, mom and dad were there to make sure I steadied my course with love & grace. At Ethel Miller H. S. I learned valuable lessons, it was a nurturing place. †I learned to stand and not to give into tough times and to watch for negative signs. Then as a black woman, surviving and trying to make my neighborhoods safe and free. As well as providing equal housing and jobs, fighting for a free world, as it should be. As a wife & mom, I want my son to tell his own child about what we did together. I teach how one must listen to our hopes, instead of our fears; holding on forever. † I learned to stand up to the best and to perform no matter what the test. We must always believe in our creator and continue to live a good life as it should be, Although our fore fathers were denied privileges in a country that’s suppose to be free. I am the girl from the south, holding my head up high, yet grounded by my faith. Making my children proud & President Obama too, holding on to God who keeps me safe. You see I learned to stand, so you must stand, for this is our land.
