there is the most acute suffering. No
race of women on earth has had like
su~fferings. From their Very birth
there is for them insult and injury.
One of the first things little negro
girls learn is that the devil is black,
and that wiciedness and sin are black,

what they have done that such an af-
Fiction is visited upon them. When

children.
There is worse still. These little
negro girls know about the parks.
Their little hearts yearn to 90 out and
play like other children. The parks;
