freedom, the menace" CT mixed
audiences was considered SO re-
pugnant that the leading theatre
closed its doors rather than admit
negroes: while if Marian Anderson
tried to drink a cup of coffee in
most restaurants in the nations
capital. she would be asked to leave.
We have come long way
since Lincoln's time, but we still
have long way to go.
When Lincoln dedicated the ma
ton to the unfinished work" for
which men died at Gettysburg, he
referred not only to- freedom for
the negro race, but to freedom for
all men. Though Lincoln belonged
to no church, he was deeply re-
ligious, and at Gettysburg added
two words which were not in his
original manuscript :. THAT this
nation, under God, shall have a
new birth Of freedom :"
And were he alive today, Lincoln
would he saddened at the religious
intolerance existing in many parts
of the nation.
