STANLEY HIGH


Returns to print in the June issue
of Readers Digest with a quite
graphic word picture of the Ne
groes progress in the current war
situation. Says Mr.. High-in part
quote:
The war has set the American
Negro marching, Where he is 60
ing he is pretty sure Of How he
will get there he hasn't quite made
up his mind But from New York
City's Harlem 10 red-soil Georgia,
he is on the way,
The Negro is neither disloyal
nor ungrateful He believes he is
realistic and logical. He knows
from experience that the Negro fu-
ture cannot be left wholly to the
unprodded action of the white
mans conscience. He is prepared
to use the war and the white mans
global nbarrassments to speed up
his advance"

his history, the Negro is sure that
he knows what it takes and can

such a faith, he does not believe
that America will short change or

There is a wall about us all,
an intangible wall which sep
