They were directed by the hands OF
God to the Supreme Court OF the
United States, from whose deer
sion there i no appeal except to
arms. and that body spoke out and
all of this country heard IT,
never realized just what it
meant to put IL off in one section
OF the city until that Tulsa affair.

there to witness the graduation OF
some OF our leading young people
Forty-ninc graduated from the indus
trial high school of that city under
Prof. T. ". GriSSom. These young
people were met with the killing OF
human beings. with the burning OF
homes and destroying OF property.
This was taking place just few
yards from them, so to speak. and
there were refugees right in the audi
cnce. and the leading ministers were
together appealing for help. They
were taking money to help those
who were focking into the city
homeless and clothless. They were
meeting with success.

heard the address delivered by one.
Charles Stewart. and believe me
