My Name Is Jim Crow
Hi, my name is Jim Crow,
And I have the power.
The power to tell you where you can sit,
The power to tell you where you can drink.
I control your life.
You may not sit in the same area as your white counterparts.
I take away your freedoms and give them to the Whites.
I am the shield that is held by your white “brothers.”
I keep you inferior and in the dirt,
And you don’t have the power to change that.
My name is Jim Crow,
And I have all the power.
