a Request In The Name Of Our Lord
Only one Negro police in the stote,
And the Mayor hos prosed his good work
IndionoIo is the place he patrols the streets,
And for crimes no one has been hurt
He knows his people, he knows their woys,
He can detect both right and wrong;
He knows vio!a.or wheve- he meets him,
He knows the joiI is the Place he belongs
Jackson the copito ct our great stote,
And crimes are breeding here each day;
We need some Negro police here to help
)Breok up this crime breeding way
When was boy Negro police we're here,
And the White and the Negro good friends;
They enforced the law all over the town
And we only had one large pen
Now we have thousands of ceres,
For the prison farms to-day;
And not Negro police we can see,
On the streets, will say anyway
The Negroes helped to win the war,
They can also help to keep the peace;
If they are ever accepted here
In Jackson as city Police
! hope the white friends will see the need,
Of block face police on the beat;
Then we con have our City protected
From the underworld we dolly meet
Smile together and we oil will stond,
And, divided we surely foil;
We have got to love one onother
To be ready when God coils.
1t is not the color of no roce,
Jesus mentioned would get in;
1t is those who will seperote
From this world and all Of its SIM
| hope my good friends and citizens,
Will fulfill my hearts request;
Some Negro police on the beat
Will help give us peace and rest.
