In fremont Temple today, under the aus
plces of the industrial department of
Morris Brown college of Atlanta, Ga. Mr.
Garrison said In part:
What disturbs me more than the at
tilude of the Southerners. who are max
ing capital out of race hatred are the
concessions of Northern friends OF the
colored people who have been truly help
ful in the encouragement OF Southern
schools. Because prejudice is deep rooted
and is again demonstrating It's strength
in the North. II Is all the more urgent
that no countcnance he given to this
hateful spirit. Not even Southern lynch
Ings are so dishcartcning to the friends
of equal rights as the acqulescencc OF
such men as es-Prcsideut Cleveland,
Presidents Eliot OF Harvard and Bishop
Lawrence nj Massachusetts (all desirous
OF uplifting the Colored gacc) in the Dulli
noatiou OF the Fifteenth amendment and
the maintenance Of caste schools.
Mr Garrison argued that the white
South has shown mo sense of responsl-
biitN" since "usurping all political
power" and that IL has Disseminated
against colored schools in appropriations.
