Gives Lie To Those
Who Say We Don't
Want To Fight %.

The rate at which our boys are
rushing to join the navy gives the
lie to all those who say the Ameri-
can Negro does not want to fight
for his country in this war. All
the Negro wants is a chance to
serve his country with dignity, un-
der the same rules and regulations
governing other citizens. His fight
has been to get chance to fight
without sacrificing his self-respect.
It is important to keep the record
straight because many people are
trying to confuse the issue. No
less person than William Pickens
wrote recently that only an "idiot''
among American Negroes would
choose German Fascism over
American democracy, imperfect as
the latter is. He is right, but that
is not exactly the point, and that
type of shouting misrepresents the
Negro. When we demand equal
treatment from our Government we
are not choosing between Hitlerism
and democracy. Our volunteers
(not draftees) in the navy show
our true feelings.-Roy Wilkins in

TOOdell Waller

Murdered by Jim Crow July 2, 1912
He did not cringe or fawn or plead,
So Darden sought to kill his breed.
Because this man was black of
face,
He had to learn his rightful place;
Negro must not stand up to white,
No matter what he knows is right.
And what is right? The whites
decide.
Waller dissented, and so he died.
You're bold, white man, but also
scared:
Once too many times have you
dared.
If white men now desire peace,
Jim Crow law in this land must
cease.
For years pent up like bottled
wine,
We now are stirred; the hand was
thine.
Down with your Jim Crow law,
lest we
Explode in search of liberty!

DEMOCRACY

Democracy ?-Ah, you ask me to define
A word that rivals Sun in magnitude,
So finite yet of infinite design,
It leaves my hollow phrases nude.
I hold that my Democracy's the hope
Of final Freedom, and the utmost chance
To rise fu-winged upon broader scope,
The right to fail, recover, and advance
It is the high hill in the hearts of men,
Where may stand and touch the stars,
love it just as much in peace as when
It is the battle cry of bloody wars.
will not hear Democracy's a dream,
My heart must be inspired yet not aspire
To great and little glories men esteem;
Let me full dimensions for my soul acquire!
Yes Democracy is my God-given right
To seek fairer jewel for life's CROWN
Build my castles to greater height,
And neither man nor woe shall hold me down.
These years have fed me liberty too long,
And I've pretended oft I did not understand
Your culture, art and wealth till was strong
Enough to robe in braver words my just demand
Thus, now stand beside you proud erect,
I shoulder arms without moments pause,
Times much too brief to be too circumspect,
know at once Democracy is common cause!
