THE CHALLENGE

In re-affirming the original decision q the fed
eral government to house Negro war workers in the
Sojourner Truth Homes, the newly appointed hous
ing head, John D. Blandbord Jr, made significant
appeal to Detroters in his official statement last
week Blandford said, I'VE are at war This is a
war housing project. am sure the patriotism Of
these citizens of Detroit will assert itself and that
peaceful counses will bring speedy end to a con-
troversy that can have broad implications if cons
tinued."
This is clear statement which places the whole
issue in its proper setting, which challenges directly
the intent and motives of the group opposed to Ne
gro occupancy. We are faced with the brazen and
menacing fact that there are far too many Ameri-
cans who would rather lose this war than to lose
their hatred against the Negro who are willing to
sacrifice democracy rather than scrap their myths
of racism. The implications of this position are Gear
and they are all rotten to the core
If we in America are to become virile and free
people, we must attack at the roots the poisonous
traditions which have been permitted to infect our
society and render us weak and hating in the face
of a common enemy. A responsibility devoves upon
every citizen in Detroit white and black alike, to
speak out in behalf of united people and to demand
that those who openly defy the tenet Of democracy

Tinted &C stand divided We fall'
Let us he rea,y, ever ready 10
answer the call
