Man was intended, from Creation's very start,
As God's own handiwork, to walk in dignity,
Regardless of his color, race, or creed of heart,
To share the sacred birthright of equality
In freedom's true enjoyment -- fully, not in part,
Not in a "half free and half slave" society.
Long, might unjustly walk where right was meant to reign,
Unduly segregating men of equal worth.
The "masters" who were exercising this domain
Had only one excuse: the accident of birth,
Establishing their own prestige and selfish gain,
Restricting you to inferiority and dearth.
Keep up the gallant fight and hold your battle station
In conscience-guided grandeur, as you have begun,
Not ever injuring the honor of our nation!
God grant you strength until your holy cause has won!
-Adolph G. H. Kreiss
