THE IMMUTABLE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT
NEGROES IN POLITICS"

Brought to America from age
long African tribal organization,
Negroes were enslaved for two
and a half centuries. Then after
four years of bloody Civil war in
which nearly two hundred thous-
and Negroes participated, the
Union was saved, and Negroes
were theoretically freed.
= Learning much of the White
Mans system of politics. intelli-
gent slaves passed on what was
learned to the field hands.
James Pendleton, slave foreman
of jefferson Davis, President of
the Confederacy, declared, THE
Bucras (African term for White
NAM and the men from Guinea
conform to the same pattern Of
politics, lie. long-winded oratory,
drinking, dueling and finally leg
islation."
Fighting to maintain their hard
won liberty against hostile
South that sought to re-enslave
them, and to open an educational
path for their children. Negroes
entered politics during the Recon
structiOn era.

Today there is tremendous
responsibility on every American"
Robson declared, "because we
here in America are going to de-
termine more than any other ma
ton what the world is going TO be

Robson said he spoke for "op-
pressed peoples everywhere, at

sacrifices and contributions made
by Spanish Republican fighters
during the Spanish civil war.

THE MEASURE OF DEMOCRACY IS
MEASURE OF HUMBLEST'S FREEDOM

real burden rests heavily upon
the shoulders of all of us. Too
often many of us seldom examine
ourselves first before we seek out
other peoples faults. Too often
the majority controlling powers
are unwilling to condsscend their
better judgment and act only up
on the case before them without
spreading their powers to cover
an entire group of people.
1t should not be required of
good citizens to have to take the
blame and face the many discrim-
nation practices in so many
places here in the Great North
west meted out to the Negro peo-
pie, or any others in the form of
living eating and health condi-
tons. Behind every i'll economic
opportunities stand as one of the
most important factors among the
unorganized millions which
brought into being the great
measure now before Congress,
and while it might appear it is
a Negro measure, the writer can
not console the mind that that is
really the case. The FEPC, as
see it. represents the countless
millions of real Americans not
