the Freedom Rally held forth.
An important message from
Wendell Willkie, who was un-
able to attend the meeting,
read:
I'VE are going to win this war.
No one questions that. But the
speed with which we achieve our
goal of total victory depends
largely upon the unity, deter
mination and SelfleSSnesS with
which all of us attack the task
ahead. Rallies such as yours,
dedicated to inspiring unity and
ever increasing effort, give the
lie to the Axis propagandistS,
who would like nothing better
than to divide and weaken us"
Among the prominent speak
ers were Adam Clayton Powell,
Jr., DR.. Charming Tobias, DR..
Max Yergan and Lester Granger
of the Urban League. Mrs.
Dorothy X. Funn, secretary of
the Labor Victory Committee

racial discrimination, aSsaulting

form, discrimination in jobs ano
demanded reorganization of the

ferees called together by Edwin

the conferees that more colored

levels of skill now than at any
previous period of their work
experience in this country.
The group decided to ap-
proach the problem of holding
these jobs by working through
government, labor unions and
management, the colored work
ers themselves and community
contracts.
The necessity wor the colored
worker to be reached through
all types of organizations was
emphasized as we'll as the des-
ire to impress upon him that
the foundation has been laid in
this period for future indus
trial and economic progress.
The confereeS agreed to
launch a nationwide Hold Your
