but colored families are barred
from these other. So we have
another fight against prejudice
and intolerance even here in
the Cradle of American Lib
erty.'
1t might be true that a good
ly number of our folks have
been greatly benefited in the
Lenox Street project but that
number is far from sufficient.
Everyone knows that we have
to pay much higher rents for
less desirable apartments. That
fact is so well known that it
was one Of the sociological
points brought out against the
pseudo, philanthropist landlord
in Richard Wright's Native
Son." This is another reason
we must bring every pressure
to bear to change this housing
situation.
Why, even in Connecticut,
which is supposed to be less toll
Grant than Massachusetts, COL
ored and white families live
right along together in the pro-
iects and get along splendidly.
Now is the before No
vember ITO win this fight
against discrimination in our
project houses. If something is
not done, then to carry our APP
peal to Washington. This is ex-
tremely important because our
social and economic well-being
depends to such a large extent
on the place in which we live.
All of us admire Joe Louis.
Having defended his title 10
times within a very short space
of time, no one can say Joe has
ever run away from a fight. Yet
Joe says his hardest fight is
against prejudice and intoler-
ance. Remember our champ
and fight our hardest fight with
him against discrimination
wherever found. Remember the
election next month.

Joseph Lees Campaign
Becoming infectious

Who's Josesrl Lee? That's the
question hundreds ask daily In
Boston politics. He is described
by those familiar with his ca
reer as 'the most unforgetable
character I've met in Boston
politics."
His World War record as a
Marine at II years of age APP
peals to veterans who hail him
as the only veteran in the may
orally contest.
Young Lee, who is 40 years
old, the same age as the May
or, lives in the West End among
the people of SO different ma
tionalities, and has spent much
Of his time helping youngsters
from crowded sections in the
North and South and the West
Ends to sail boats which he de-
signed and built. He also has
been responsible fer public
beaches and Fairgrounds.
1t is natural that Joseph Lee
should now make a conspicuous
record as a humanitarian, as
his father Joseph Lee, ST.. also
member of the Boston School
Committee, did before him. OF
him President Roosevelt said,
To-day in the far flung COM
munities OF a great nation, chill
dren are happier, youth is bet
ter served, and men and women
have a chance to live more
richly because of the life and
work of Joseph Lee
Lee is a recognized authority
on municipal finance. He is
conceded strength because of
his profound faith in the hon
esty of men and women, a test
Of genuine democracy.
1t is recalled by Dorchester
residents that Lee is married to
a Dorchester girl, the former
Kathleen Nolan.

tunities, The Twentieth Cenh,rv

Lee represents the type Of

groups have learned through
painful experience that corruut

benevolent with its handouts
is always more heartless and
costly in the end. His public
activities both in and out Of Of
flee have convinced thousands
of people that Lee will bring a
new complexion to Boston's city
administration with more and
better Fairgrounds, better
school facilities, the enforce
ment of fire and sanitation
laws to make better homes,
and many other advantages.

Real estate dealers report a

From this sort of bondage
there is no escape for the many

Real estate dealers are waiting
for this eventuality when they
say there is a shortage of resi-
dences for colored tenants. APP
peals in the name Of democ-

little effect upon landlords as a

JOE LOUIS TOUGHEST FIGHT
Strange as it may seem, the
hardest fight Joe Louis ever had
is a fight every one fus, as a
group, is up against. It did not
take place in the prize fight
ring. Let me quote the cham
pion himself when on Septem-
Der 29, he established a Joe
Louis fund for the department
of race relations of the Federal
Council of Churches in New
York.
Replying to the suggestion
that Military Service might re-
quire his retirement from the
ring after the Nova fight, the
champion of champions wrote,
But before 1 retire, 1 want to
put up one more fght-the
best of my career-to help my
people.
The hardest fight ever had
was against prejudice and in
tolerance. MY PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT I MEAN. Capitals ours) !.
They are all fighting their way
up and want to open the door
of opportunity a little wider
for them"
A certain colored carpenter
certainly knows what Joe.
means when he applied for a
job in a large Shipyard on the
eastern seaboard. The employ
ment executive laughed in his
face and told him he had never
heard of colored ship carpen-
ter much less having seen one.
The applicant stuck to his guns
and pleaded the harder for a
chance. A week or ten days
employment was all he wanted
to show what he could do. The
defense industry really needed
him. The carpenter was finally
given a chance and of course
he made good.
I certainly know what Joe
means" One incident in par
ticular flashed across my mind
when the carpenter told me of
his experience. A Southerner
came into my downtown office.
Seeing that our Office force were
unbleached Americans, he
bluntIy told me that he knew as
soon as he saw us that we could
not turn out his manuscript the
way he wanted. I, too, request
ed merely an opportunity to do
couple of pages Of this ex-
tremely technical, medical ma
terial. If that were satisfac-
tory, I knew the whole job
would be. He reluctantly gave
us the chance and we scored
another victory against intol-
erance and prejudice. The
magic formula of requesting
simply chance worked again.
And YOU know what Joe
means
There is one fight going on
in Boston at the present time
that I must call to your atten-
ton because our governments
