Governor Carvel also noted that
award of the Purple Heart Medal.
which he described as "one of the
most beautiful and meaningful
decorations bestowed by this or
any other country, was revived in
1882 in honor of General Wash

The full text of Governor Car
wells statement follows:
General George Washington on
August z, 1882, at Newburgh, New
York issued an order establishing
a Badge of Military Merit, in the
figure of a heart, in purple. This
decoration, instituted by our first
Commander-in-Ch was to have
been awarded in recognition of
'gallantry and fidelity TO essential
service
Unfortunately, records pertain
ing to this decoration disappeared
shortly after the Revolutionary
War and the medal was not again
awarded until after February %,
1882, when General Douglas Mac
Arthur, in compliance with a di-
receive from the President of the
United States, revived the Purple
Heart decoration in honor of our
first President.
Since 1882. the Purple Heart
one of the most beautiful and
meaningful decorations bestowed
by this or any other country-has
beer awarded only to those men,
bers of the Armed Forces who
were wounded during military or
naval combat against an armed
enemy of the United States.
"In recent years. the Military
Order of the Purple Heart has
sponsored the observance on each
August Z of Purple Heart Day in
honor of all those who have been
wounded in the service of their
country.
Il am pleased to call the atten-
ton of all Delawareans to Purple
Heart Day and l urge them to join
in recognizing the contributions
made by those who have shed
their blood in defense of this ma
ton and the ideals upon which 1t
was founded.

anywhere who take public
stand for or against segregation.
THE lesson TO be learned from
these two cases is, to my mind,
clear. Liberty TO be secure for
any, must be secure for all -
even the most miserable mer-
chants Of hate and unpopular
ideas"
Justice Douglas wrote: AT the
bottom of this case are this
Courts decisions in Pennsylvania
v. Nelson. holding that Congress
did not cntrust TO the states
protection of the Federal Govern
ment against sedition, and Brown
V. Board of Education, holding
that racial segregation of stu.
dents in public schools is un-
constitutional" "
Justice Black spelled IL out
further by saying: The petitioner
in this case has for some time
been at odds with strong senti-
menf fsvorins racial segregation
in his home state Of Kentucky.
A white man himself, the petit
tioner has nonetheless spoken
out strongly against that senfi-
ment.
This activity, which once be
fore resulted in his being charged
with a serious crime, seems also
to have been the primary reason
for his being called before the
Un-American Activities Commit
tee"
Blacks opinion described Brad
ems previous crime" as follows:
'In 1854 petitioner and his wife
were indicted and petitioner was
convicted OF scdition by the State
of Kentucky. for which he re-
ceived a sentence of imprison-
ment for Is years.
This prosecution grew out Of
events surrounding petitioners
helping a Negro family to pur-
chase a home in an all-whitc
suburb of Louisville. The charges
against petitioner and his wife
we're eventually dismissed fol-
lowing this courts decision in
Pennsylvania V. Nelson" For the
