SINGING NOTE OF PROTEST
From Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the Ne.
qro Poet

Belleville, Wilmington, Evansville. the
Fourth of July and 1<ishineff, a curious
combination, and yet one replete with
a CHASTITY humor. Sitting with closed
lips over our own bloody deeds we ac-
complish fine irony of a protest to Rus
STA. Contemplating with placid eyes the
destruction of all the Declaration of In
dependence and the constitution stood
for, we celebrate the thing which our
own action proclaims We do not believe
in.
But it is over and done. The Fourth is
come and gone. The din has ceased and
the smoke has cleared away Nothing
remains but the litter of all and "A few
reflections. The skyrocket has assembled,
the frecrackers have burst. the roman
candles have sputtered, the niger
chasers "a pertinent American name
nave run their course. and we have cele-
brated the nations birthday. Yes, and
we black folks have celebrated.
The papers are full of the reports of
peonage in Alabama. \ new and more
dastardly slavery there has arisen to re-
place the old. For the sake of re-enslav-
ing the negro, the constitution has been
trampled under foot, the rights of man
have been laughed out of court, and the
justice of God has been made a jest, and
we celebrate.
Every WIRE no longer in the South
or new burning, some recent outrage
against helpless people. some fresh
degradation of an already degraded race
one man sins and a whole nation suffers
and We celebrate.
Like a dark cloud pregnant with ter
ror and destruction, Acknowledgement
has spread its wings over our brethren
OF the South. Like the same dark cloud
industrial prejudice glooms above us in
the North We may not work save when
the new-come foreigner refuses to, and
then they, high-prized above our sacri-
fetal lives, may shoot us down with i'm
punity. And yet we celebrate.
With citizenship discredited and scored,
with violated homes and long unheeded
prayers, with bleeding hands uplifted.
still sore and smarting from long beating
at the door of opportunity, we raise our
voices and sing My Country 'Tis of
Thee -; we shout and sing while from
the four points of the compass comes
our brothers unavaiing cry, and so we
celebrate.
