Fifty-seven years ago the much despised American Negro was re leased from the shackles of slavery by that incomparable statesman and emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. The Negro was cast out upon the sea of life without knowledge of responsibili-; ty and unable to cope with the sit nation of having to care for himself.1 He has been hindered from makinc any great advancement because of I lack of knowledge and because of the fact that he was held in partial slav ery by the American white man. Has thiB partial slavery been fully eradi cated at this present date of “Free dom and Democracy?” No. Does the American white man fully realize the meaning of Democracy’ Does it mean that a race struggling hard for recognition should he de prived of the rights and privileges which are inherited by them at birth Does it mean that this race should he surrounded on all sides by prejudice and segregation? Does it mean that they are to be confronted at all time by that Satan-inspired law. “The Jim Crow?” Does It mean that the men of this race shall have to stand to see their women and children being insulted by the brutes who call them selves gentlemen and purveyors of Democracy? No. Democracy does not mean or uphold the acts alluded to in the foregoing, it means that all men regardless of color or creed are cre ated equal and should receive the recognition and respect due them ann their posterity. Who are the men that never fail to respond to 1he call of arms and never fail to conduct themselves cred itably and conscientiously whenever called upon to help protect our na tion’s rights and honor and make it safe for Democracy? What race re siding In this country is subject to lynchings without provocation or fail trial? What race has nearly reached the pinnacle of success although Im peded by ignorance, prejudice and segregation? Need 1 answer the i above questions when you know that there is only one race so treated in this fair land of freedom and democ racy, and that race is the American Negro. If this be true then to wtiom should our government first see that the rales of democracy are applied? Why tv>e American Negro. But does It do this? No. Our government is too busy fry ing to teach other nations what she | yet herself has to learn.
