DickersOn Urges
Group to Demand
Democracy Now

American Negroes are too pro-
vincial was the claim of Earl B.
Dickerson, distinguished Chicagoan
and alderman from that city's
famed Second Ward, who was prin-
cipal speaker at meeting spon-
sored by the Minneapolis Branch
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Colored must think as national cit
liens as we'll as local ones he as
serted.

was heard by approximately $50
people who despite the intense heat
of the day came to Phyllis Wheat
ley House to hear the man who OBJ
servers say is destined to sit in
the U. S. Congress.
The speakers address had as its
subject the "Negro and the Pres
emit World Crisis" A veteran of
the World war who served over
seas he urged that the American
Negroes must insist in time of the
national crisis that democracy be
extended to every man, woman and
child in America. Negroes should
not wait until the crisis is over
He said that during the last World
war the Negroes were told to be
patient, that things would be diff,
ferent after the war in which they
fought for democracy.
He chided the average northern
Negro community for its provin,
cial thinking which makes it faiI
to realize that a lynching in a re-
mote part of the south affects the
people Of every part Of the coun.
try.
He urged that Negroes fight fol
places in the defense industry.
Dickerson was introduced by
John F. Thomas, N. Y. A. execu.
