ton that will require the creation

Never in your memory or ours,
has any man of equal prominence
made so important pledge to the
colored voters of this or any other
state. Never has any man dared to
solemnly promise to use such a
high office to right the great wrong
that has been done to colored citi-
zens from the first Emancipation
Day down to this hour.

else to be equally outspoken m our
defense in the future?

TABERNACLE

Jacksonville, Fla.-(ANP)-The
possibility Of pleasant aftermath
to the recent sessions of the Ma
tional Baptist convention here
doomed this week when it was an
nounced that the lumber that had
been used to build the "taberna-
Gle" in which the convention met
would be given to the Negroes Of
This city for a permanent church or
civic structure.
The tabernacle had consisted of
a wooden structure with canvas
top that was built as a "comprose'
after the County armory was not
obtained. Several thousand feet OF
lumber went into the construction
and it is this material which has
been offered for the permanent
building.

Local Pastors Make
Strong Appeal To
Negro Voters

Dear fellow citizen:
The writer's of this letter be-
lieve 1t is time that our race
should demand something more
than empty promises from those
who seek our political support.
For many years we have listened
to candidates who Dragged about
the fact that a few dozen of our
people had been hired as janitors,
pages or transfers, and who ex-
pected us to vote according To
their advice on this account We
have seen a few of our own people
prosper out of politics, but we can
not see that their prosperity has
had any real effect upon the lives
and happiness of the great MAORI
ty Of our race.
No doubt you have had the same
feeling and have tried harder than
ever before in the last few years
to vote intelligently, and for the
candidates who in your honest o.
pinion would be fairest in their
attitude toward us.
The Negro has never asked for
any special favors. We have ask
ed only for the common ordinary
rights that should belong to every
American citizen. Those rights
are the most sacred man can
have, yet you know that we do not
have them, and never have.
What Negroes Expects
What are these rights? We are
ntitled to more than the mere
right to exist and to have children
who must live under the same
cloud where we have lived. We
are entitled to more than our share
of the sidewalk, although we are
denied even that in the Democrat
ic States to the South.
Our rights as American citizens
include the right to full political
freedom and to economic and So
cial freedom as we'll. True free
dom means that our sons and
daughters shall have the same
right to advance in business,
science and the arts that is avail
able to any other young man or
woman of capability. 1t means
that we should be treated by ev-
cry public official, with the same
respect that is accorded any other
citizen.
Michigan Fair To Negro
We live in a state whose tradi
tions are liberal toward our race.
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-10-17

In pre-Civil War days many of its
homes were units of the famous
Underground Railway. where our
people were sheltered as they fled
from slavery to freedom. Michigan
was the birth place of the Republi-
can party and for many years af-
ter the Civil War it never had a
Democratic governor. AS result,
the state does not practice any form
of segregation, such as is found in
some Democratic Northern States,
such as Indiana, where separate
Negro schools are permitted.
We can be thankful for the free
dom we have, but that should not
blind us to the fact that we ought
to have more.
If our full rights Of citizenship
were being respected, we would not
be limited to a paltry few positions
of responsibility in government. In
stead we would have our full and
fair share of all public offices and
positions, in proportion to our
numbers.
Want More Negroes On Public
Jobs
OF the thousands of professional
and skilled positions in the Federal
Civil Service, how many are fired
by Negroes? How many of the thou
sands of people employed by our
State government are Negroes
How many in the City Hall and
County Building? What about our
street cars, our buses, our police

MAY
RACEWIFE

PARIS, O.N.S). - Husband
against wife in the worlds first
transatlantic air race.
This will probably be the Situa-
ton next May When the America
France speed Derby begins, pro-
vided the plans of Amy and Jim
Mollison materialize.
Mrs. Mollison, when interviewed,
said there is no chance she and
her husband will fly in the race as
co-pilotS, as has been their custom
up to now. She said:
I'VE both think one pilot Is
enough to cross the Atlantic. Be-
sides the space Is better used for
petrol"
The daring British woman pilot,
who holds the records for both
ways between London and Cape
town, and who, with her husband,
already has one Atlantic crossing
to her credit, has been here to in.
vestigate conditions of the race.
She said:
81 am very much interested in
the Derby, but I haven't filed
any entry yet. I'm looking for
the right kind of plane first,
and, If / can find one, I'll enter
Immediately"
Jim MolliSon, her equally-fa-
nous flying husband, will un-
doubtedly be one of her rivals in
the race, Mrs. MolliSon revealed.
