Kosciusko, Mississippi, on Monday,
January 9th"
The few newspapers which
have reported the details Of this
shocking massacre of children are
attributing their death to the fact
that their killers were escaped
convicts who were bent on seeking
revenge for one reason or another
from the children's father"
"The Negro people, however,
know better. Sonny Harris, Nell
Harris and Mary McAtee were
murdered because their white
supremacist killers know that the
state Of Mississippi will either give
them token sentence or white
wash them, as 1t has done In
hundreds Of such instances before"
Mr.. Patterson further wrote "On
New Years Eve, while the Negro
people were still counting their
lynched dead In 1949. Samuel Tay-
Tor. a 38-year old Negro farmer in
Ballsville, Virginia. was axcd and
slashed to death in a veritable
blood bath by two carloads Of
lynchers Only the leader Of that
lynch gang has been jailed; was
discovered by his 78-year old IA
Their the next morning In a mass
Of blood"
Here in New York City, in the
heart Of the Negro community on
New Years Day, he continued,
George West, a 29-year old Ne
gro, was shot to death In tavern
by an off-duty policeman simply
because he had dared to suggest
that the man put away his re-
volver and stop threatening two
other Negroes"
Act now, Mr., President, the
CRC leader concluded, cor another
Negro father. like Samuel Taylor's
will find his sons body with his
throat slashed, deep axe gashes
In his back and gallons of blood
streaming from his body"

Despite the terror against the
