Here, At This Final Hour, In This Quiet Place
Harlem Has Come To Bid Farewell To One Of
Its Brightest Hopes Extinguished Now And Gone From Us,
Forever For Harlem Is Where He Worked And
Where He Struggled And Fought His Home Of Homes,
Where His Heart Was And Where His People Are
And It Is Therefore, Most Fitting That We
Meet Once Again In Harlem To Share These Last
Moments With Him The Black Man, Black For
Harlem Has Ever Been Gracious To Those Who Have
Loved Her, Have Fought For Her And Have Contended
Her Honor Even To The Death It Is
Not In The Memory Of Man That This, Unfortunate
But Nonetheless, Proud Community Has Found A Braver More
Gallant, Young Champion Than This Afro-American, Who Lies Before
Us Black, Black, Black Did You Ever Talk
To Brother Malcolm? Did He Ever Touch You? Did
You Have Him Smile At You? Did You Ever
Really Listen To Him? Did He Ever Do
A Mean Thing? We Must Honor Him For What
He Was, And Is A Prince, Our Black Shinning
Prince
