city. Only two names were presented
to the committee on speakers for this
part of the program, that of DR.. Book
or T. Washington and the Rev. A. ].
Carey, the latter being chosen.
It is possible that it is not generally
known that 100 of the 430 seamen who
fought with Perry were colored men.
DR.. Carey brings out this fact and also
Calls attention to what Is generally
known-that colored men have fought
with bravery and heroism in all the
wars for the protection and preserva-
tion Of our country and have won the
right to q square deal. He makes a
strong appeal to the American people
to turn the most effective forces Of
American life upon injustice and un-
righteousness.
DR.. Careys speech Is a message to
the American people from the great
body of intelligent Afro American citi-
xens. who are not satisfied with pres
ent conditions. He pleads for fair
chance for the race and says, I'VE ask
nothing more; will be satisfied with
nothing less" DR.. Carey in part said:
When on that September afternoon
the unconquered Perry, fresh from the
deck of the battered Lawrence, drove
his pennant to the Niagara's masthead,
cut his way through the lines Of the
British squadron. dismantled the De
troit, shattered the Queen Charlotte
and forced to unconditional surrender
the entire British feet he lifted above
the clouds to shine in immortal glory

name, but the names also Of the Law
