The Man Who killed Jim Crow


I am the man who killed Jim Crow. We Were separate but equal./ Armed with education and soul, A nation free as an eagle./ I killed two birds with one stone To lead my people to freedom./ We went to war together and came home Separate but equal./ Victory so many miles away Together we are able to reach it./ Create a future brighter than today With righteous practice and preachings./ I am the man who killed Jim Crow. We Were separate but equal./ Blinded by racial differences But now we stand together as people./ Rest in Peace Dr. Charles Hamilton Houston
