Burroughs Speech
Stirs Baptist Women

OANu1AGN1LA<Anng <AAo'J OSPI' SS'
This city is still buzzing over the
great speech made before the Wom-
ans Convention of the National
Baptist Convention, which closed
its seth annual sessions here two
weeks ago, by Miss Mamie Bur-
roughs, of Washington, D. C.
Miss Burroughs addressed the
assembly on Friday morning. In a
frank discussion Of the race prob
lem, she said, "The South is the
place where the race problem must
be solved. 1t was started in the
South and nine million Negroes are
still living down here. If we cannot
make Christianity and democracy
work in the South, we should stop
telling the nations across the sea
how to treat their minority groups.
Challenge to Leadership
81 am interested in the Negro
problem in the South because I be-
heve that sincere, clear thinking
and definite action can challenge
the leadership Of the South to let
down your buckets where you are
1t is more subtle. But, it is just as
destructive to American ideals Of
justice. America has the glorious
chance to prove what Christianity
and Democracy can do in the trans
formation Of races.
Negroes Not Refugees
Negroes are not refugees-they
are Americans to the manor born.
They have paid in advance for their
constitutional rights to vote, to.
work, to fight, to live unmolested.
Too long has our so-called democ-
racy been a nation Of white men on
top and black men as mud stills.
Furthermore, the nation is just
as responsible for injustice in Mis-
sissippi as it is for injustice in
Massachusetts. This is a national
problem. All the states are one
when it comes to the application Of
the principles set forth in the Con-
stitution Of the United States.
"The Christian church and the
Congress of the United States are
responsible for educational and
economic injustices and inequalities
throughout the nation. A silent
ministry and an exploiting national
legislature spells degradation to an
ignorant, inarticulate group. This
is the underlying cause Of Eng
lands plight today. America will
not escape the wrath of the AL
mighty unless she. grants every
right that belongs to man, as man,
whether he be black or white. It Is
only through righteousness and
justice that a nation can endure.
God has no pets. The nation that
sinneth shall die.
America Has Taught UngOdhness
America has taught and prac-
ticed injustice, race hatred, and I'M
goodness. America has built. up an
economic boycott that has crippled
and demoralized millions of its citi-
zens. What mean these slums,
dives, wretched living conditions,
and exploitation Of common labor
ers--but the way Of life that will
lead our nation along the same path
that Europe is now travelling.
"our sympathies go out for the
depressed and distressed in every
land, but we had better let our
common sense and Christian con-
