1t is a fact that in many ! in
stances Negro leaders themselves
have had an upgrade battle to
instill in the minds and hearts of
their long oppressed followers.
TRIED TO COVER UP
1t is also a fact that white peo-
pie, SO SNUG and complacent in
their false belief that they are
the chosen of God have worked so
hard and long to evade, and if ac-
cidentally recognized, to cover up.
Despite overwhelming evidence
to the contrary being uncover
ed as the result of this war,
yOu see may of these men with
white faces, still StubbOrnly
clinging to their little false god
of white supremacy.
You become convinced that many
of them would more willingly sacri-
flee their lives on this altar, than
they would to preserve the great
blessings of freedom and democracy.
To many of them democracy is
just a word Something you talk
about, you praise as being fine,
but for Gods sake don't let's prac-
tice if it means giving men with
black faces an equal break.

The great truth that color is

HOUSTON-(A N P) - Charles

perience that Texas is not all bad
despite the rumor circulated that
"the devil owned Texas and hell
and made choice of living in hell

odd pieces of discarded and scrap
rubber outside of the auto parts

On duty.
When Sugar war brought before
the justice of the peace, w. c.
Gagan, he upbraided the white
patchman and said:
81 don't think much of your
patriotism for leaving scrap rub
Der lying around when the country
is in such great need of it."
Later the justice declared:
ut is ridiculous to charge any
one with a crime for picking ur
old rubber that has been thrown
away when everybody in America
is being urged to salvage every
ounce of rubber they can find. ]

pieces myself and have thrown il

So Charles Sugar went free

what's more, white Waterman

rebuked for shooting the Negro

TRUTH HAVING IT'S DAY
That's just what is happening in
this war. Truth after three CEN
turtles of lies, is having its day in
America.
The liars shouted in holy horror
when it was first proposed that
Negro youths be given an oppor-
tunity to man fighting planes. They
dug up all kinds of bunkum to
show that it was a physical and
mental impossibility for Negroes
to ever become military aviators.
Then the 99th Pursuit Squad
ron was formed. Black boys
took to the air, even if their
number was limited. They were
given the opportunity to learn
and they have sustained the
confidence placed in them by
those who fought that they
might have that opportunity.

by their contention that it would
never do to put Negroes in COM
bat units, that the very best
place for them was in stevedore,
labor and cleanup squads. And
that is as far as most of the 375,-
600 Negroes who wore the u. S.
uniform in the last war got. Many
of them never saw a gun.
A LIE is SPIKED

last war by limiting black Ameri-

WORKERS MAKE GOOD

Now under the pressure of the
times, skilled Negro workers have
been given an opportunity to dis
prove these lies. And in every
instance they have not only made
good, oftimes they have proved
themselves superior to workers o.
other races.
These are but a few instances
where the liars have been Fore

they have by no means been

the advancement of the coIored

Grated by Negro people.
He discussed bank operations as
applied to capital structure and

the history of the National Negro

ganized Is years ago. He has serv-
ed as president of the organization
since its birth.
The 87-year- banker and race
leader requested that the office of
president be rotated, allowing each
member a chance to serve as head
of the association.
Members of the association pur-
chased 1000 18th Amendment
stamps, which sell for three cents
a piece and commemorate the 18th
Amendment to the United States
Constitution.

that 120,000,000 copies of the stamp
have been sold during the last 18
