be of the same color it would have
been so today. Then, think how
dull and unattractive our world
would be if everything of it's
kind in it were the same color.
God made this world beautiful by
choosing different colors of
people, flowers, animals, soil and
other things. Every thing he made
he pronounced good. He made his
co-worker by giving him the
ability of producing shades of
dyes and paints to further beau
tify the world for the good and
pleasure of all humanity.
Color prejudiced people are
committing wrong by discri1ni-
mating against the segregating
fellow humans because of differ
ences of color. Being white does
not relieve a race of its faults. 1t
is my opinion that racial hatred
stems from bias instilled by
teachings of many generations
which people today are reluctant
liz LAAC11AoC1NCC O4s
do not think all white people
are prejudiced against colored
because of color alone. Particu-
larly in the well informed,
think there is a deep-down fear
of the advancement of colored
people, fear of losing their good
jobs and prestige of being the
superior" race, which position
they have held for long time.
Therefore they use various
schemes to discourage and i'm
pede the progress of colored
people. On every hand there are
such rebuffs as, eve don't rent
or sell to colored people," or if it's
job with good pay they'll say,
Sorry but we don't hire colored."
They seem to feel that color is a
good weapon in maintaining their
dominant position for they know
that colored races throughout the
world are awakening. At last
they have the opportunity of rails
ing heir status to that of whites
and the whites know that as a
race we will remain colored al
ways or for long time to come.
BY our own efforts and by the
assistance of liberal minded
white people, we are steadily
moving forward.
What is needed today and for
all times to come, to insure peace
Is brotherly love and a coopera-
ton of all races and groups and
not the domination of one group
over the other.

Dear Sir:
1t is not customary for me to
comment on news released by
a newspaper.
In this particular case, ! de-
parted from my ordinary custom,
because you failed to give the
exact source of the news. You
only said: News from Chicago.
Yet, the similarity of the news re-
leased by the Miami Times diff
fered only from that OF another
daily newspaper by the headlines
and few added details.
The news from Chicago Of the
arrest of Lou Assam Orjuna as re-
ported in the Miami Times stated
that he is a native of Haiti. I do
not wish to contest the murder
case, nor the guilt of those &C
cuSed.
My purpose here is to seek the
truth, and in doing so, establish
the identity of Lou Assam Orjuna.
Unfortunately, Orjuna says: He
is from Haiti. But, the magnitude
and plot in this crime don't seem
to me of the Haitian kind.
Haitians are very unfamiliar
with assurances, they seldom
have one of their own. 1t is why,
more l read the facts of this
crime, more I am convinced that
Lou Assam Orjuna is not of Hal
tian nationality.
Orjuna, or Rev. S. Jerome Jen-
kins of the Coptic Church is
something to laugh about. If he
was a Reverend from Haiti and
he had his church on 9Th ave.
and 18th St., Miami, one of us
would have known him.
Let us now find out who are
Orjuna, or Rev. Jenkins friends.
They are: Rev. o. ]. Mcleod, SO
well known to him, he had him
insured, the next one, Pearl
Louise Bailey and the other, Will
liam Ferguson, alias William
Role.
All these names, dear sir, don't
mean anything to you? Could not
Lou Assam Orjuna, or Rev. S.
Jerome jenkins be of the same
nationality with them? Why, the
nationality of the two others in
volved in the killing, was not
made known?
May l tell you this, if Orjuna,
or Rev. Jenkins, was to be de-
ported he could not land in Hal
ii, because he is not a native of
Haiti. That also could be proved
because a record of birth certifi-
Gates is kept in Port-Au-Prince,
Haiti, from 1904, up to now.
No doubt, Orjuna may have
visited Haiti, but I deny that he
is Haitian.
You may, dear sir, report this
fact to the News from Chicago and
to any other news.
Yours very truly,
Philippe Dartiguenave
