BRAVE SONS OF HAM

1.-THE following verses, written in
honor of the returning colored troops
today, are from the pen of Louise
Virginia Johnson, the well-known
cook at the Executive Mansion, and
are published at the request of
friends of the returning men.l
well tell you a story
of the brave sons of Ham.
OF those fearless colored soldiers
Who have fought for Uncle Sam.
They are black, but God made them
Just the same as any other race,
When the history of this war is
written,
Their names must have a place.
They are loyal to their country,
Not traitor of them all,
When our country called for soldiers,
Black men answered to the call.
Here we are, Uncle Sam, -
Always ready when you call,
We are human, we are men.
For the same God made us all,
On the ocean, in the trenches.
Anywhere you choose to send
You will find We'll do our duty
Just the same as other men.
Uncle Sam, if you doubt us
Give US chance and we will show
That we are just as brave as any
AFTER this war the world will
know.
