We shall Sing Their Glory.

We shall Sing Their Glory.
Around the beautiful city of Nicks-
burg, Mississippi. are monuments
that have been erected by the differ
ent States whose troops fought and
died there in the memorable siege of
Nicksburg There are none there for
the Negro patriots who fell; and
there are few anywhere. Certainly,
few, il any States Will erect monu-
monts 10 the patriots of my race it
is the humor oI the world not to do
so so much the worse for the world
But we COlOred men and women must
sing the praises of these OF our race
who give "thc last full measure of
devotion" to their country. We can
sing; we must sing until our children
learn that we are not ungrateful.
Once Morc-IIow Did They Die?
| believe that the Negro must an
swer his cOuntry's call. but | do not
forget the cvergrowiug number of
colored people who are beginning to
wavor in their loyalty to this Gov
crnmcnt the number who keep ask
ing-Why? to what end? what's
the use? | am sorry that my country
yes, this is my country, ! have no
other am sorry that my country
regards SO lightly the fidelity and
patriotism of the black man; and
there is too much bitterness and re
sentiment growing in the hearts Of
Negroes against American injustiCes
for me To say that the country may
always count upon the loyalty of the
Negro.
But
am glad that the Tenth Cavalry
has chccrrully carried the brunt of
the work being done i'm Mexico; ! am
glad that when serious work was to
be done, the Tenth was usually sent
To do IL, am glad that they proved
themselves patriots, not grumbling
malcontcnts. but patriots and true
soldiers, and ! am glad that when
they looked death in the fact the last
time at Carrizal, they were still
thinking Ot their country. my Coun-
try, our country, and il any thought
of American caste, American pro
Scription, American bitterness toward
them hittcd across their minds, il
was lost in the higher, finer, noblCr,
more patriotic thought that they
were serving their country.
II is hiutcd that somebody blum
dcrcd
Theirs not TO reason why,
Theirs but To do and die,
They were soldiers. They fought
like soldiers, they obcyed like sol
dicrs, they died like soldiers.
The Last Word.
\ grateful race will embalm their
deeds and will present the gallant
Tenth Cavalry To history that their
deeds may be written upon her roll OF
fame God rest in peace those who
fell at Carri2al in defense OF country
and for their races honor.
