The white race IS not superior to

address delivered before the Thirteenth
Annual Conference OF the National
Association for the Advancement OF

School, Norfolk and Thirteenth Ave,

The evidence OF anatomy and neu-
rology so far available does not indi-
cate any appreciable superiority OF the
white race over the other races he
declared. The psychological tests
during the war 70 the contrary not
withstanding, the psychologist also
fails to provide any definite data to
support the contention OF psychological
inferiority of so-callcd primitive races,
including the Negro, to the white.
