‘Tis a thankless task the Negro Editors face,
But they love to fight for rights of our race;
Fight on, oh, ye editors, brave men and true,
St. Peter will not turn down real men like you.
Who’ll march up to the gate? Who’ll walk right in?
Who, Negro editors,? Who?
Why, you!
(excerpt from James Conway Jones, “Who?” in the Washington Bee, July 16, 1915)
