DR.. Howard addressed the first

questions put by several members of
the audience and later spoke with
Sarah McWilliams, an aged Negro
woman who said that she had known
slavery in her childhood. Dr.. How.
ards address held closely the atten.
ton of his hearers, many of whom
were Negroes. He said:
Every race has regarded itself as
superior to all other races and every
race has been mistaken. Such belief
is contrary to Christian ideals, which
