to the committee Oh 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 400 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-
ton OF our country and have won the
right to q square deal. He makes
strong appeal to the American people
to turn the most effective forces Of
American life upon injustice and I'M
righteousness.
DR.. Carey's speech Is a message to
the American people from the great
body of intelligent Afro American citi-
Gems. 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

When on that September afternoon
the unconquered Perry, fresh from the
deck of the battered Lawrence, drove
his pennant to the Niagara's masthead,

We gather here on this historic spot
100 years after the battles over and
the victory won to celebrate, to COM
memorate, to rejoice, not so much In
the victory Of arms as in the triumphs
Of peace and to learn. If we may, some
lessons that will tend toward making
ours indeed a universal peace and our
land in fact. as In name. the land Of
Justice and Of freedom.
Historians have written. poets have
sung and artists have painted in glow

and DR.. Parsons. And yet somehow
there is no character in all that thrill

fascination than that of Alexander,

Of his love and devotion. his loyalty
and heroism; how he was with Perry

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 q
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

apart. segregated from their fell
lows with whom they have worked
for years. as II they were lepers.
The little brother" feels that such
segregation is unnecessary, unfair.
unjust, un-American and un-Chris-
tian.
And now, MIR. Chairman and gen.
tlemen Of the commission. thanking
you In behalf, of the 100 dauntless
seamen who fought with Perry 100
years ago, In behalf of the 100000
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
nestle peace within this great re-
public and may with truth exclaim,
I'VE have met the enemy and they
are ours"
