Maybe not. The Declaration OF

THE

MARCH
Bv John EDWARDS

Lawrence Perry of the North
American Newspaper Alliance who
wrote a series Of articles on the
race question which appeared last
week in the Detroit News, did a
first class reportorial job. His arti-
Gle on the philosophy OF Booker
T. Washington did much TO clear up
for the general public the stand OF
this historic figure on the question
OF segregation. Booker T, made
speech in Atlanta which was re-
pudiatcd by the masses OF Negroes
as a plea for segregation. The rec
ord actually shows, however, tina.
Booker T, saw the evils OF segre-
CATION clearly and in many speech
es condemned the practice. 1t is in
fcresting 10 note that speeches
against segregation were all made
in the North while those which
Booker T. made that seemed to sup
port segregation were made in the
Southern states. Perhaps the old
master was not above playing a
little politics and anybody who
visits Tuskegee will tell you that
Booker T. played the game very
well indeed.
