"It 1 th acknowledged fact that in spite of all the handicaps of slavery and discrimination, the Negro in America has compressed more progress ln the shortest time than any race in hn jnan history.

"Whether a via orou flgrh tins men or for production of food and munitions, America needs the Negro; the Negro needs the equal opportunity to work and fight.
