HONOR TO OUR HEROES

In these days of fast-disappearing
prestige for minority groups in all
countries, the colored people of Amer
lea, and of Boston particularly, should
be exceedingly proud of the reverence
and respect with which the memory
of Crispus Attucks is held by every
stratum that makes up the vast
American populace. Each year,
almost since the colored hero fell in
his valiant stand against British
tyranny, a pilgrimage has been made
to his grave and services held in his
honor.
This year, next week, in fact, the
memory of Attacks is to be honored
again. Services will be held on Sun
day afternoon at three o'clock at
Columbus Ave. AM.E. Zion Church.
On the Tuesday following there will
be the pilgrimage to the spot where
Attucks fell and to the cemetery
where his remains were placed along
with those of the companions who fell
with him and finally the exercises at
the Attucks monument on Boston
Common
These are important activities; they
are recognized for their Importance
by the hundreds of white and colored
people who annually take part in
them. This year, more even than in
past years, colored people should make
sure that their number in this group
is large one, an unprecedented one.
Crlspus Attacks is easily the most
heroic symbol that race possesses.
Other people are generously content
to share in the glory of his act. It
will be a tragic thing if we permit
these people eventually to come to
honor him by themselves, and if we
lose our share in the glorious heritage
he has handed down to us. Particu-
larly tragic indeed would be such an
eventuality in these days when we
have so carefully to guard every
single tie that links us to Americas
march of progress.

A cOlored former school teacher of

THE HOPES OF Colored America,
and the hopes of all liberal and civil
lied Americans were recently waited
upward when the United States Su-
preme Court announced its decision in
the case of four young Colored farm
hands from Florida. The four young
men had been charged with robbery
and the murder of an aged white mer-
chant in 1888 and sentenced to death
by the Florida Courts. The U. S. Su-
preme Court held that the confessions
of these men and their pleas of guilty
had been obtained by methods grossly
in violation of the civil rights guar
anteed by the Federal Constitution.
THE UNANIMOUS AND extended
opinion of the U. S. Supreme Court
was based on the constitutional educ
process" clause in the Fourteenth
Amendment, passed in the wake of the
Civil War to protect the newly eman-
cipated slaves from arbitrary local
judicial action. The Courts opinion
was expressed by none other than JUS
tice Hugo L. Black, an admittedly
former member of the notorious Ku
KluX Khan. Justice Black stressed the
point that in the extortion of confess
sions from the four prisoners after
weeks of persistent questioning, with
some evidence of physical brutality
during which they were held without
warrant and were not permitted to
have counsel or see friends, repre-
scented a gross violation of the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton.
BECAUSE OF THE prevailing gen.
eral attack by the forces of Nazism
Fas'm and Com'sm upon principles
of Democracy, Freedom and Justice,
some of the views of Justice Black
speaking for a unanimous Court
should be of great Importance to us
in our fight to preserve those princi-
pies and to extend them into the field
of industry and to bring within their
protective folds every man, woman
and child regardless of race, creed or
color.
To-day, as in ages past, we are
not without tragic proof that the
exalted power of some governments
to punish manufactured crime die
tatorially is the handmade of tyr
amy. Under our constitutional svs-
tenn, courts stand against any winds
that blow as Ravens or refuge for
