Every time we read OF Angelo
Herndon we also read that his de-
Tense battles were being fought
by the international Labor De-
Tense. His bail was provided by
that committee, and what ever
glory he earned during his five
year fight for freedom was shared
with that group commonly called
THE Reds"
Although he was classed as a
communist and was leading hum
ger march of unemployed on At
lanta's courthouse when arrested.
his cause should have been the raj
lying cry for our race. His defense
should have been handled by our
organizations and final victory
would have been another case of
the whole race pulling itself up
By it's own bootstraps Grateful

meetings all over the country for
the benefit of Mr.. Herndon, but
the actual defense was handled and
directed by a committee that was
overwhelmingly white. Why?
We have numerous organiza-
tions that should have jumped at
the opportunity presented by his
case. The same lawyers could have
been hired, regardless of the fact
that they were white, and the
same result would have been
achieved. Credit for the case is
going to the International Labor
Defense and not to the lawyers,
and that same credit redounding
to a Colored organization in par
ticular and to the race in general
would have presented a solicited
front to the common enemy that
would have acted as a tonic to
our own sagging confidence for flu
ture battles in the South.
Herndon may be communist,
red or espouse any other cause he
likes, but he was first a Colored
Man, and if we can enter his case
as a race in a small way, we
should have gone into it whole
hog or none. A united front under
any banner is our only salvation.
