the foul reputation that has been
wrspped around it.
No racial group in American
history HIS suffered from dis
torted pre- uganda for so long a
period as has the Negro. Every
device including the bible and re-
ligion has been used by our de-
tractors to put us in an unfavor-
able light. School text books, the
stage, radio and televiSion, have
all been perverted and used
against us.
1t is important then thst we,
as a race, know to what extent
propaganda is being used to
hamper us in our quest for first
class citizenship in this, the land
of our birth. The South has used
this tool of perniciouS propagan-
da to prejudice the nation
against us. Millions of unsuspect-
ing whites have swallowed these
distortions and thereby have be-
come unjuStifiably prejudiced
agcinst us.
We can take comfort in the
fact that the present wave of OPP
preston is claiming fewer lives
than did the Khan disorders of
the twenties. We can also be en-
cOuraged over the determination
Of the present day Negro to use
he tools at his command to fight
his own battle. We can also take
courage in the fact that today,
We have more truth loving and
liberty seeking whites on our
side than ever before.
These very disorders that be-
set and disturb lis today, in
dicates most definitely that we
are making progress towards our
goal of first-claSS citizenship, for
if we weren't, there would he no
efforts to restrain us.
Frederick Douglass well said
mo people to whom liberty is
given, can hold it as firmly and
wear it as grandly as those who
wrench their liberty from the iron
hand of the tyrant."
