A Greed For Black America


Branch NJ A. A. c. p urges all Branches in
the Northwest to consider the adoption of
the following Creed adopted by the st. Louis
Branch of the N A. A. C. p:
CREED OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO
CITIZEN, 1912 A. D.
| am an American Citizen.
My countryment call me Negro
But no matter what am called, the fact
remains that am Citizen of the United
States of America, native born.
AS SUCH, EXPECT to share all of
the responsibilities and obligations of good
citizenship
My record bears proof abundant.
have shared these obligations and re-
sponsibilities.
My Crispus Attacks died first on Boston
Commons for my country's freedom in ITO.
My Robert Brooks died first in the Phil
ippines for my country's democracy in 1941.
BUT HAVE NOT shared the oppor-
tunities and rewards of good citizenship.
WITNESS:
1. My government allows nine millions
of me to be denied the right to vote for the
very sheriff who may stand between me and
the mob that would lynch me-
q My government allows me to be
segregated in slum ghettos.
g. am showed around and doled out
the crumbs from the employment feast, even

gangs.
5. My government winks at my degra-
dation and expects my soul-sickness to be
cured by hired Representatives" and fruit
less Investigations.
g. My government is soul-sick too but
it is not aware of this as I am; and when
I think of proud France, that was soul-sick
also and not aware, I shudder and grow
afraid for my government.
7. My government is in distress, and it
expects me to help and will help; fully
gladly and periodically will I pledge Allie
glance to the American Flag and to the Re-
public for which it stands; One Nation, In
divisible with Liberty and Justice for ALL
But despite my desires and patriotic en-
deavors, 1 cannot freely render my full mea-
sure of loyal aid,
So long as I can enlist in my govern
ment's Navy as mess attendant only,
So long as am barred completely from
my governments Marine Corps
So long as I am hired only as porter or
mental in my governments defense plants
and denied my station on the production
line,
So long as I am forbidden to fly the
mighty ships of my governments Navy of
the skies.
Let me die in combat with my govern
ment's army as free soldier, and not seq
regated one.
And when peace is come again, let my

 Halsey came in when Talcott was snapping the lock of his trunk. Hal sey's manner was businesslike and brusque and avoiding. "The sup ply boat arrives at noon?" he asked stiffly.
 Usually"
 DO you think they can accom- modate us?"
 "Ill be very much surprised if they can't"
 Halsey nodded and went out. That was Halsey; he represented business, and while he might be secretly sorry for Bill Talcott, there was nothing he could do about it. Halsey represented Old Man Winters, and if the Old Man told him that Saint Peter was short in his accounts, he would hammer at the pearly gates until he got an accounting.
 Well, Halsey hadn't asked any advice. He'd merely asked for and received a definite answer. This was his one day of management. Let him for this day make his own decisions. And then let him un- make them when he got look at the supply boat.
