Our ancestral Spirit of Africa Runs through our hearts Gives us passion, pride, and purpose Unites us as one family Across the world From Kinshasa to Kentucky From Burkina Faso to Baltimore Calls us to join hands And inspires us to give hand And lift our brothers and sisters As one family. In the great spirit of Sankofa We look back to our roots To light the path to our destiny Join us and help make Men and Families Center A Beacon of Hope in East Baltimore A pulsar in stormy oceans We need your help Each and every one of you.

-Poem by a Brother
