HICHLIGHTING BROOKLYN
with RUTH MILLER

Now that the fact is generally recognized that it is
about time colored elected from Brooklyn to
CITY Council the residents of the Boro should throw aside
all preudices mis-apprehensons and biased condemna
tons and form coalition set to bring such prolonged
conception realization. For the first time in the his
orv of Brooklyn candidate, in the person of Attorney
Norman B. Johnson is unopposed by another colored
candidate in the running for City Councilman. Without
the peril of split vote impeachment, it should be
easy going to elect Atty johnson representative
in City Council The right to vote is privilege which
should be utilized by every eligible colored citizen to at
tain as much legislative representation possible. Why
not begin by eectng Norman B, Johnson to City Council
with confirmed goal of electing of the race to
public office?
