PEOPLE WIN BIG VICTORY.
Mayor lockwood Of Cambridge, Mass
Bars "Birth Of q Nation"

Bars birth Of q Nation"
The interest which our people are
taking in matters Of public moment
in regard to their rights as citizens IS
becoming more and more intensified.
They are using to good advantage
the right Of protest against wrong ana
petition for relief granted by the red
eral constitution. Results are being
obtained along many lines where In
Justice, like a wolf, walks In sleeps
clothing to strike down the innocent
without warning.
Once more by the united efforts OF
our people the photo play known as
1.-THE Birth of a Nation" has been re-
fused permission to perform. A news
dispatch from J. Thomas Harrison,
editor Of the Cambridge (Mass) Ad-
vocate and national committeeman
for Massachusetts, representing the
National Negro Press association, to
N, B. Dodson Oct. 26 stated that the
colored people of Cambridge, minis
ters and business men, led by Il. 3.
Harten, appeared before Mayor Rock
wood at the city hall and protested
against the play above named being
permitted to show in one of the thea
tiers in Cambridge and that, after
hearing the objections to the play, the
mayor refused to let the promoters
stage the play in Cambridge
The people had become aroused as
to the danger and injustice Of the
show to the colored people through
the editorials Of Editor Harrison in
the Advocate. Thus again the power
of the press in behalf Of justice has
brought good results.
