a beacon-light to liberals plain,
outspoken American who tried to
live the democracy he preached-an
asset to humanity-a piercing shaft
of light in the darkness of world
confusion, greed and bigotry-a
challenger of evil-an exposer OF
deception "stickler" for princi-
plea man of convictions believ-
er in Coda true American!
That was Wendell Willkie as /
knew him. Fearless, fortnight,
factual.
1 talked with him last in his
home on Park Avenue last June.
He had just written the series of
articles on what he felt should be
covered in the Republican Platform.
Among them was a challenge call
ing for complete equality for Ne
groes in all phases of American
life.
For almost an hour we talked
off the record. l was convinced he
meant every word he wrote. That
informal chat, coupled with the
newspaper interviews I had had
with him and the reading Of his
writings with an understanding
which comes from personal con-
tact gave me a picture of Willkie
the man.
I, the Negro, all America, the en-
tire world have lost a friend. But
by his having lived, the future has
a richer, sounder, and more secure
prospect.
