way of life as defined in the
Constitution of the United States
and the Bill of Rights.
Negroes Have Fought For
America
From Revolutionary days,
they have fought for the defense
of America in every war of the
Republic, down to and through
World War |, and are equally
loyal and devoted to the best
interests of the nation as it
stands on the brink of World
War No. III. OF this there is no
dispute in any well-informcd
circle.
During all the years which
have followed the adoption by
the Congress- of the United
States of the Civil War Amend
ments to the Constitution, con-
ferring freedom and citizenship
upon the Negro people, they
have hesn the victims of nm or
ganized conspiracy to deny
them that human freedom to
which as citizens they are en-
titled.
Injustices that followed from
|agnorance and Unborn, racial
prejudices have most largely
contributed to the present day
lack of a more cordial relation
ship between the races. and that
cooperative spirit of unity
which should exist, and which
finally must exist, if we are to
achieve that peace and economic
prosperity which underlie all
permanent progress.
AT a time when the flames of
liberty are threatened with ex.
tinguishment and human free
dom everywhere fights for sur
vival, there IS no room in A
merica for the abridgement of
the citizenship of any of our
nationals.
