visited by numbers Of appreci-
ative guests representing the
darker race.
If it is the aim Of the present
group of so-called leaders to
give up all of this, then they
are exceedingly unfair to the
traditions of inter-racial under
standing bequeathed to them
by the real Bostonians of yes
terday. How anyone can dis
dain and refuse the cooperation
Of the whites in a city like Bos-
ton, Is far beyond my conlpre-
hension.
Recently in conversation with
a prominent and wealthy mem
Der Of the other race, I learned
that not the slightest overture
had been made by any of our
leaders or organizations toward
a closer inter-raciai cooperation
with the whites, notwithstand-
ing that this person had pre-
viously been noted for friendly
and philantfropic work among
the colored people of this city.
One colored organization of
which 1 am aware, could use to
rare advantage, at least six of
these weI-intentioned white
persons as members of its ex-
ecutive committee. For in truth.
this organization has shown
but little in the way Of pro-
gram for our people and is ex-
tremely limited in It's ability to
function intelligently. Perhaps
by excluding the whites from
our deliberation, it is easier for
some of us to gloss over our
dismal failures and continue on
our merry way in confusion and
Suoterfuge. I can conceive of
no other reason than this to
explain the present unwilling
ness of our group to seek great
er inter-racial cooperation.
1t is no wonder that this
present state Of affairs as con-
Germs the races in Boston is
somewhat bewildering to our
white friends.

While still a youth, Douglass
made two unsuccessful attempts
to escape from slavery. His third
attempt was a success. He manag-
ed to travel from Maryland to
New York without being appre-
hended. On being told that New
York was not too safe a refuge for
fugitive slave, Douglass proceed
ed to New Bedford, Mass. Here
he became associated with William
Lloyd Garrison and other emin-
ent men who were fighting for the
abolition of slavery. These men
were so impressed with Douglass
es's ability as a thinker, his sim
cerity of purpose, and his elo-
quence that they made it possible
for him to go and tell the world
about the evils of slavery.
Realizing that his freedom was
of little significance so long as
millions of his countrymen were
slaves. Douglass became an ardent
abolitionist. He carried the cause

Re- From 1910 to 1861 Douglass
was continually speaking and writ
ing against slavery. Then came
the Civil War which extirpated
slavery in this country. The wars

of greed, graft, and selfishness
from the nations capital to all
parts of the nation. Douglass was
