Richardson In
Emancipation
Day Address

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -CSNS)--
The Reverend Harry v. Richard
son, chaplain at Tuskegee Institute,
proved himself a most force1ui
speaker on the occasion OF the
annual Emancipation Day observ-
ance held at the Holt Street Bap-
tist Church at noon on wednesday.
Speaking on the subject "How Free
Are We", Reverend Richardson
stated that as American citizens
We should be thankful for the
Emancipation Proclamation which
rid this country of slavery and
without which this country could
not have been the greatest ex-
ponent of democratic government
on earth today.
He emphasized the fact that IN
1868 and 1865 we received the
freedom of the soul which cannot
come by an Act of Congress is a
gift of God coming by the grace
of Coda thing which we may
have at one time and lose at an
other. He continued by stating that
many of us are not free in SOUL
because we have become slaves TO
a habit or a dirty practice which
may be robbing us of all we possess.
He paid a tribute to many famous
Negroes, with special emphasis on
Booker T. Washington and Will
liam E. B. DUBOIS whom he char
acterized as "the great giants
working wonders in their times.
To keep the freedom of the soul,
Reverend Richardson pointed out
the following requisites: Cd an in
telligent understanding of the
situation and the times in which
We live; co a willingness to work;
and 90 having a deep and abiding
pride in what you possess.
The program again this year was
sponsored by a group OF citizens
headed by Professor j. T. Brooks,
registrar at the State Teachers
College. Serving with him were
Reverend A. w. Wilson, pastor of
the Holt Street Baptist Church, as
vice president; Mrs. Louise Streety,
public school teacher. as secretary,
and DR.. H. M. Gibbs. prominent
club leader and president of the
Women's Missionary Society Of the
State of Alabama, treasurer.

missioner of Education for the I

eide because of financial difficult
ties2 Was he a victim of foul play?
Or has he just left the city on a
pleasure jaunt?
These are the questions which
the Police Department is attempt
ing to find answers to as result
OF the finding of a coat, identified
as DR.. Higgins by his nephew
Rudolph L. Higgins, on the
George Washington Bridge, Mon
day evening, December %.
A resident at 1890 Seventh Ave-
nue., and proprietor of the Blyden
Book Shop at 1896 ID Seventh
Avenue, DR.. Higgins was reported
missing from the city and Detec-
tive Oberhaus of the Missing Per-
sons Bureau assigned to the case
on December %.
First clue In the mystery came
that evening when Detective Cor
bey of the 34th Precinct found a
coat on the George Washington
Bridge and DR.. Higgins nephew
identified it as belonging to his
missing uncle. Immediately police
of the Harbor Squad were de-
spatched to the scene and started
graphing; for a body ON the theory
that DR.. Higgins was a suicide.
Mrs. Rosetta Higgins, his wife,
who was in North Carolina visit
ing her mother over the holidays,
was hastily summoned back to the
city but made herself unavailable
to reporters. During the week the
