It is earnestly to be hoped that when June II rolls

Monroe Trotter and the Equal Rights will be continued
by surviving members Of the League and by other and
younger and who interested in promoting

No one overlook it. But neither can anyone reading

progress toward the creation of the kind of country in
which opportunity is open to all regardless of or re-

And because there is hope and promise here for all

a point, but actually he failed

Segregation: IFS Vicious
Purpose

Segregation is the special
American means Of branding
colored Americans as the in
feriors Of interiors in public

When the white South

the federal status Of equality
for colored people, the former
slaves, equality of citizenship,

rights, backed by the Nation
NAL of presence and service
in places opened for public
patronage as the one great
way to brand colored people
as having been a slave race
and make them forever the
scorn of civil society.

sure. Colored people are trail
tors to themselves to aid and
abet the Idea by self-segrega-
