 Demanding for negroes full civic rights and equal opportunities with all other citizens, Roosevelt de- nounced disfranchisement of the negro as a subversion of the consti- tuition and declared for educational facilities for the negro equal to those for children O other races.
 Negroes must have full govern mental rights" he said. There must be no distinction made by law either covertly or openly against any of our citizens.
