Dear Comrades :--Comrade Jeffs
spoke to a very enthusiastic crowd in
the school auditorium at Richmond
We organized a local there with her

She is the first lecturer to speak in

ABOUT PRESS COMMITTEES

meeting and have one elected.

soon as it reached the color line.
Political democracy declared that "all
men are created equal" meant only all
white men; the Christian church
found that the brotherhood of man
did not include Gods bastard children;
the public school system proclaimed
that the schoolhouse was a backbone
OF democracy-"for white people
only" and the civil service says that
Negroes must keep their place-at
the bottom. So that they can hardly
be blamed for looking askance at any
new gospel of freedom. Freedom to
them has been like one of chose Jug
CLING fiends.
