Actively We Have Woven Ourselves With The Very Warp And Woof Of This Nation, - We Have Fought Their Battles, Shared Their Sorrow, Mingled Our Blood With Theirs, And Generation After Generation Have Pleaded With A Headstrong, Careless People To Despise Not Justice, Mercy And Truth, Lest The Nation Be Smitten With A Curse. Our Song, Our Toil, Our Cheer And Warning Have Been Given To This Nation In Blood-brotherhood. Are Not These Gifts Worth The Giving? Is Not This Worth The Striving? Would America Have Been America Without Her Negro People?
