(3) K-3 Ringgold's poetic text and vibrant art affirm the message that diversity enriches us all. She does acknowledge that "Some of us were already here / Before the others came. / And some of us were brought in chains, / Losing our freedom and our names." The text also touches on varied reasons for immigration.
