Poetic Thoughts
Minneapolis Century of Progress
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Negroes have always had hand,
In helping promote progress in our great land
So it is unusual in Minneapolis hundred years
They laid foundation credtable to the races ego.
Minneapolis became city from ST. Anthony,
Its territory undeveloped and land was almost free
But its citizenry of good stock,
Who worked for its future and not by the clock.
Negroes among those who pioneered,
Helped build the city, and never feared
To venture out in business way,
Because this their home and here to stay.
They grateful for work to do,
Many coming from slavery and a few
Were educated in colleges for in that day
Education second and work had first say.
They raised families those who stayed;
The children took the rens when the elders grayed.
Are carrying on, a credit to the race
Proving to the community the Negro has place.
Small in numbers they finally grew
To a nice group who can see thru
The resultant years which have proven to all
That sacrifices to overcome prejudices PAIL
We are glad to be represented in this celebration.
News dispatches will tell the nation
That Minneapolis Negroes always take their place
With other groups and help set the pace.
