| you can not accomplish the highest
service to our race Of to any other
race, If you permit yourselves &c
become suspicious and embittered
against either the white of the black
man, and do not allow yourselves To
get the impression that all white
race people are our enemies, but let
us keep in mind, for the sake of our
own people, the fact that we have
strong, courageous, unselfish white
friends right here in the South, and
we never had more friends among
the white race in the South as well
as in the North than we have today,
and | am glad to say that we were
never more deserving of friends than
we are today. In spite of much
that both races have, to encounter
that is unjust and sometimes almost
disheartening, there is great reason
for encouragement and happiness. 1
