times, the voice of the Negro group
is not very loud. From one end of
the country to the other, across and

protests and riots. The colored men
and women are silent. They do not
threaten to revolt nor destroy any
thing but possess their souls in pa
thence. There are few or none of us
standing in bread lines yet we are
the poorest of the groups. We still
have hope and the long and severe
discipline of constant and grinding
poverty in the face of unlimited op-
portunities for whites have taught us
lesson in faith and patience such
Ethiopian will live where the proud
caucasion will commit suicide.
