Harper and his wife, Lillian Were
staying here in the Islands finest
hotel. the Nacional de Cuba.
Here" he said, "I'm In O spot
where for once can forget I'm a
Negro with all the labels attached
to him. It is certainly soothing to
come here after receiving such dos
ages Of prejudice as one encounters
throughout the states -"
Mr.. Harper related he had seen
here demonstrated to him more than
ever that prejudice and discrimina-
ton can be wiped out completely.
1t seems that the caste system in
Cuba is with class rather than race
