What does this mean "We the successors of a country and a time

Where a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one"

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In short, it means sometimes the dream and the reality are not the same thing.

A black girl (very young) is descended from slaves (her great grandparents were slaves) and raised by a single mother, dreams of becoming president.

She can only get as far as reciting the pledge of allegiance. Her situation does not make her a president.
