This constant refrain is meant to convey the powerful message that whatever happens to African-Americans, however many times they're subjected to racism, prejudice, and bigotry, they will never be kept down. They will always rise up and assert their identity in the face of those who would keep them in a state of permanent subjection.

"I rise" is intended as a message of hope and inspiration, an injunction to dig deep in the face of oppression, to stand tall and not be ashamed of one's identity. Most people are familiar with the expression of picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and starting over again as a response to life's numerous setbacks. The same principle is in operation here.

The speaker seems to suggest that African-Americans will always be subjected to oppression of one sort or another. That being the case, there's only one way for African-Americans to maintain their dignity and sense of self-worth, and that's by rising up every time society tries to keep them down.

What two centeries were the centeries of philosphers
Elina [12.6K]
As question is raised in a U.S. history class....The Founders were very influenced by Locke's "Two Treatises of Government," written about 120 years before Jefferson wrote the "Declaration." Hobbes' work was also written in the 17th century, and is likewise of interest. 

<span>And then there's the 19th century, of American thinkers, such as Emerson, William James, and Charles Peirce (pronounced "purse"). </span>

<span>Then, there's the 18th century, but if influences are calibrated, Locke in the 17th, and Emerson and James in the 19th</span>
