THAT T. UNJUST
Dear Readers

Of my, or rather, Our Great Prob
lens of Life, and one hat may
cause a great deal of criticisms
in my attempt to do so. Yet some
Of us who have spent our time
in school studying this line Of
work, should at least try to show
you what we accomplished and
how we feel. 1t seems to me that
most of our leading speakers try
to avoid such topics that | like
to write upon. So | guess it will
be up to the Younger SPEAKERS
and WRITER'S, by some mean or
other to try and adjust some of
our GREAT injustices.
First, | want to thank my many
Readers and Friends for the in
terest they are taking in my
writings and especially my late
"Negro and America" This one
like Smiles seems to hit Just
right and up to date, | am still
receiving letters, cards and calls
upon them. "Smiles" stuck as a
Masterpiece, from the child to
the businessman, and / felt very
proud Of it myself. Several Of
the copies have been mailed to
my readers. Then through the
heart came my striking "Negro
and America" | have been asked
to run it in one or both of our
White Papers. Thanks, I may do
it
Now we will go into the full
details Of our topic, CHAT
GREAT UNJUST" We will try
to bring to light all facts pertain
ing to it. Now / want you to be
fair to me, the topic and to your
self. To do SO you must think
deeply and sincere. Keep up
with me, and let your mind run
back into the past and then to
the present and [ can assure you
hat this topic will be interesting
all along the way.
First: The Constitution Of the
United tSates says, "A Man Born
in These United States are
AMERICAN BORN CITIZENS,
and has all the rights and Free
dom of this COUNTRY. 1t does
not say whether he be Yellow,
White, Brown or Black. If he is
born here, he is under the FLAG
and subjected to the laws and
requirements Of this great "Land
Of the Free" Then why are such
GREAT INJUSTICES be allowed
to exis,, my PEOPLE,! We do
know that the other Nations tina
have made this their home, yet
born in their own country receive
far better treatment and are given
more privileges than the Negro
who Fought and Died, SO as to
enable others to enjoy the social
led name, "The Land of The
Free" Please tell me why and
how al a Naion like ours be so
UNJUST? Oh, God. Must this
GREAT UNJUST 60 Oh through
the Ages?
Hisory tells as that Lincoln
freed US, g we could reinforce
the Union Army to save this great
Republic and in SO doing that
fighting blood that seemed to rise
when we are called to defend,
saved the Flag, made US free our
selves and enable the Country to
year the name, Gland of the
Free" But they are misusing it
in amazing style. Fought and
died for it, and yet mo- good
enough for it, is more than | can
understand.
So on and on they 60, War
after War and the Negro is fore
ed to 60 and fight and die, and
it seems to me that it gets worse
after each War. Why. Can you
tell me? Reading one of my books,
| learn that President Wilson
first stated hat the last World
War was a White Mans War.
How many COlOred Mo hers and
Friends would have liked to see
this come true, from the apDre-
citation shown our people, our
War Mothers after their sons,
and husbands were forced, while
some enlisted went over there,
fought and died bravely. To ex-
plain it would cause too many
tears Yet they say that those
low, inhuman, sdfminded, low
class Southern, so-called Whites
went over there, where man after
man vas dying while defending
our great Flag spreading prop
