GEMS FROM DR.. CAREY'S
LAKE ERIE SPEECH.

American history actually teens
with the deeds of heroism and Of
valor, of dauntless courage and un-
wavering loyalty on the part Of the
little brother, In the nation. To-
day we speak Of peace. OF universal
peace. How can there be universal
peace without universal Justice?
Today the American people are In
mortal conflict with. enemies more
potent, far more dreadful, than the
British fleet or armed cruisers which
either must themselves be conquer
ed or they will conquer US. Is the
"big brother" really big enough for
the task, for the responsibility. for
the opportunity, that Is his?
As q true American. one who
loves his country and believes in
this country's greatness and good
ness, the little brother" stands
here today to plead for fair
chance. We ask nothing more and
will be satisfied with nothing less.
We have done and are still doing
our part. We have ever been loyal
to the flag. No black anarchist has
ever torn the starry banner down.
We feel that We have not had a
square deal. In many states we
are disfranchised because Of our
race, and jimcrow laws disgrace the
statute books Of every southern
state.
Efficient and trustworthy Afro
American government employees In
Washington have recently been set
apart. segregated from their fel-
lows with whom they have worked
for years. as If they were lepers
The little brother feels that such
segregation is unnecessary, unfair.
unjust, un-American and un-Chris-
tian.
And now. Mr.. Chairman and gen.
tlemen Of the commission. thanking
you in behalf of the 109 dauntless
seamen who fought with Perry 100
years ago, in behalf Of the 10000 900
Afro-Americans who love and hon
or the flag, for this opportunity Of
speaking for them today. plead
with you as We celebrate We shall
also determine that the most effec-
tive forces of our American life
shall be turned upon injustice and
unrighteousness as exhibited In ev-
cry form Of discrimination, disfran-
chisement, segregation, mob vio-
lence and jimcrowism. the enemies
of our national life, to the end that
the day will not be far distant when
white men and colored men, native
and foreign born. south as well as
north, shall look upon the shattered
feet Of all these enemies to our do
mestic peace within this great re-
public and may with truth exclaim.
I'VE have met the enemy and they
are ours"
