DECLARES AMERICA DENIES NE
GRO LEGAL RIGHTS.


York City, speaking before the thir
teenth annual conference of the Ma
tiOnal Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in the Robert
Treat School, Norfolk street and Thir
teenth avenue, Newark, last night, de-
clared that the Negroes legal status
had not greatly improved since before
the Civil War. He said in part:
I'm the Dred Scott case, decided in
1856. Chief Justice Taney uttered the
dictum that Il Negro had no rights
which the white man was bound to re-
spect'
How far has the legal status of the
Negro progressed during the interven-
ing siXty-siX years?
"The constitution of the United
States has for many years guaranteed
to him complete equality before the
law, and, theoretically, no discrimin-
atOry laws are anywhere on the statute
books. In fact, however such laws
abound, eg. grandfather laws, segre-
CATION laws (now happily declared IL
legaD and Jim crow laws.
But such statutes are the least of
the Negroes legal grievance Practical
ly nowhere in the United States has a
Negro an equal chance with white
man in court of law. Even in the
most favorable communities Negro,
accused, for example, of ravishing Il
white girl would receive quite differ
ent treatment from jury than a white
man charged with similar offense
against Il colored girl.
"The situation is, unfortunately, far
worse than this; in many sections of
the country, in actual practice the Ne
gro has no legal rights; he has only
such privileges as those who hold the
power and the government choose to
grant him; whatever justice he re-
ceveS is doled out to him, not as a
matter of right, but of favor In such
communities, colored man may kill
another member of his own race and
if he has a powerful white patron he
can escape trial; if the victim of his
crime is IA white man, his powerful
white parton cannot promise him even
the formality of trial; if the victim
is colored and the accused white and
the killing takes place in the black
belt he must be indeed pretty 'Orn-
cry white man to have to stand trial.
"All racial minorities are discrimin-
ated against; the discrimination is linn
tied only by its strength. The Negro
is exploited most because he is the
poorest, weakest, least organized, in
other words, the easiest to exploit. He
quires power and voice in the gov
ernment He can hope to retain and
enjoy the rights he is now supposed to
have only if he perfects an organiza-
tion that can function on behalf of ev-
cry member of the race. 1t must be an
organization with the confidence and
support of the whole race that he can
count upon to bring race support for
every racial discrimination against any
members of the race.
"Such an instrument is at hand in
the National Association for the Ad-
of Colored People. Prop
erly supported, it can in every instance
where the Negro faces the law make
him as strong as the race itself"
