Even most of the public school

norant of the history of our great
country as new born babes when
It comes to knowing what part the
American Negro has taken to build
up, preserve and protect with his
life our great American system of
government and its institutions.
This lack Of knowledge can be ac-
counted for by the fact that the
leaders and molders of our nation
al school knowledge and thinking
deliberately ignore and cast aside
all reference to the great part the
Negro has played in the history of
this country; thus they blight that
feeling for tolerance, eomradeship
and respect for all Americans as
fellow c%ountrymen which should be
Impressed upon the plastic minds
of all school children.
