DOESN'T EXIST,
EXPERTS STATE

There is no such thing as an
African race, according TO Profess
sors Norman D. Humphrey and
Melvin Tumin. anthropologists
from Wayne university who testi-
fed in the Collins ]. Reynolds case
last week.
In the suit OF Katherine Mrsa
and the Courville District I'M
provement Association against Col
Inns Reynolds, the plaintiffs con-
tend that Reynolds is occupying
his home at 1927 st. Aubin in
violation OF a restrictive covenant
covering the property. The cove
nant declares None of said
premises shall be used or occupied
by people of the African race"
FRANCIS NJ. DENT, attorney
for the defense asked Circuit
Judge James z. Ckenot to dismiss
the complaint because there is no
African race and the plaintiffs
have failed to trace the ancestry
Of the defendant so as 20 prove
him a member OF said African
race"
In his summary. Attorney Jesse
Drake. who represents Mrs. Mrsa
and others, admitted that the use
Of the term African race was 'un-
fortunate However, Drake con-
tended that il was clear in the
mind Of all concerned that the
persons who worded the covenant
were referring 10 Negroes when
they used this unfortunate term
THE COVENANT in question
covers All lots in the Oakdale dis
trict. Attorney Drake stated that
residents Of the district had been
betrayed for the first time since
1917 when Reynolds was allowed
TO purchase the property.
Attorney Willis NJ. Graves also
represents Reynolds in the .ase

OF HISTORY IN
YMCA LECTURE

THE road to freedom for the
Negro is through the ballot" said
Judge Wendell E. Green, Sunday.
speaking in the series of forums
presented at the st. Antoine
Branch YMCA.
Green, whose topic was "The
Road to Freedom" is Judge OF the
Municipal court in Chicago and
was presented by the Kappa Aloha
Psi fraternity.
We are living In a dangerous
age continued the speaker. Our
boys returning from the battle
fields will look for victory and
peace at home. They do not
want to find segregation, dis
elimination, slums and unem-
ployment. We ought TO provide
and make real that democracy
for which they are fighting"
IN POINTING out the method by
which the people at home can eff
fect the freedom which the Negro
wants like any other American.
the judge emphasized that we
should profit from the lessons of
history. There is a spirit of lib
eralism sweeping the country to-
day that is similar 10 that Of the
Reconstruction period following
the Civil War" he said.
AT that period. the Negro en-
5oyed for the only time in Ameri.
can history complete. political and
legal freedom. We lost that free
dom because we were not alert
enough TO fight off the reac,ionary
forces which combined against us"
Analysing events now taking
place in Washington. the speaker
showed how reactionary forces in
Congress may get together 10 curb
Negro freedom as the southern
Democrats and some northern Re.
publicans did in the election of
Rutherford Hayes. The most effec-
tive way, he said. 10 counterac,
these forces is TO exercise The DOW.
