Full Text Of Justice
Blacks Radio Speech
Following is the full text of the
radio address of Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court Hugo L. Black,
Oct. 1, from Washington, over 314
stations of the combined networks of
the National, Columbia and Mutual
broadcasting companies:
Ladies and Gentlemen: The Con
stitution is the supreme law of our
country. This Bill of Eights is the
heart of the Constitution.
The constitutional safeguard to
complete liberty of religious belief is
a declaration of the greatest import
ance to the future of America as a
nation of free people. Any move
ment or action by any group that
threatens to bring about a result in
consistent with this unrestricted in
dividual right is a menace to freedom.
Let us repeat:
Any program, even if directed by
good intention, which tends to breed
or revive religious discord or antag
onism, can and may spread with such
rapidity as to imperil this vital con
stitutional protection of one of the
most sacred of human rights.
I believe that no ordinary man
euver executed for political advan
tage would justify a member of the
Supreme Court in publicly discuss
ing it. If, however, that maneuver
threatens the existing peace and har
mony between religious or racial
groups in our country, the occasion
is not an ordinary one. It is extra
ordinary. During my recent absence on a
short vacation abroad, a planned and
concerted campaign was begun which
fans the flames of prejudice and is
calculated to create racial and relig
ious hatred. If continued, the inevi
table result will be the projection of
religious beliefs into a position of
prime importance in political cam
paigns and to reinfect our social and
business life with the poison of re
ligious bigotry. It will bring the
political religionist back into unde
served and perilous influence in af
fairs of Government. It will elevate
the least worthy to political positions
because religion or race bars others
from a password. It will resurect
practices and arguments from which
this country suffered sorely in the
nineteen-twenties. It will revive the
spirit which, in 1928, caused a national
campaign to be waged largely upon
issues unworthy of a free people.
It will bankrupt many business men
whose sole offense is that they have
religious beliefs which do not accord
with the prevailing religion in their

communities. It will punish the
professional men whose patients and
clients boycott him, not because of
lack of professional ability, but be
cause there are in his locality few
members of his faith or his race. It
will again set neighbor against neigh
bor and turn old friends into new
enemies.
To contribute my part in averting
such a catastrophe in this land ded
icated to tolerance and freedom, I
break with precedents of the past to
talk with you tonight.
An effort is being made to convince
the people of America that I am in
tolerant, and that I am prejudiced
against people of the Jewish and
Catholic faiths, and against members
of the Negro race. These insinuations
are advanced despite the fact that for
the last eleven years I have served in
the Senate of the United States under
constant and microscopic public scru
tiny. My words and acts are a matter of
public record. I believe that my re
cord as a Senator refutes every im
plication of racial or religious intol
erance. It shows that I was of that
group ol liberal Senators who have
consistently fought for the civil, eco
nomic and religious rights of all
Americans, without regard to race or
creed.
The institutions of racial and re
ligious intolerance made concerning
me are ba ied on the fact that I joined
the Ku Klux Klan about fifteen y ars
ago. I did join the Klan. I later re
signed. 1 never rejoined. What ap
peared then, or what appears now, on
the records of the organization, I do
not know.
I never have considered and I do
not consider the unsolicited card giv
en to me shortly after my nomina
tion to the Senate as a membership of
any kind in the Ku Klux Klan. I nev
er used it. I did not even keep it.
Before becoming a Senator I
dropped the Klan. I have had noth
ing whatever to do with it since that
time. I abandoned it. I completely
discontinued any association with the
organization. I have never resumed it
and never expect to do so.
At no meeting of any organization,
social, political or fraternal, have I
ever indicated the slightest depart
ure from my steadfast faith in the
unfettered right of very American
to follow his conscience in matters of
religion. I have no sympathy with
any organization or group which, any
where or at any time, arrogates to
itself the un-American power to in
terfere in the slightest degree with
complete religious freedom. No words
have ever been or will ever be spoken
by me, directly or indirectly, indicat
ing that any native or foreign-born
person in our free country should or
could be restricted in his right to
worship according to the dictates of
his conscieuce. I have supported can
didates for public office without re
gard to their faith. In my endorse
ment of applicants for governmental
positions, I have acted without dis
crimination of any kind or character.
I number among my friends many
members of the colored race.
I have watched the progress of its
members with sympathy and admira
tjon. Certainly they are entitled to
the full measure of protection accord
ed to the citizenship of our country
by our Constitution and our laws,
Some of my best and most intimate
friends are Catholics and Jews.
Shortly after I moved to Birmingham,
more than a quarter of a century ago,
I formed one of the most valued
friendships of my life with a son of
Jewish faith. He was one of my clos
est associates and strongest political
supporters. Months of our lives were
spent together, much of the time in
his home. He stood so nearly in the
place of a father to me that while in
the Army in 1918, I designated this
trusted friend as sole executor of my
will. In my campaign for public office
his counsel and asistance were always
mine.
His widow, who was a guest in my
home at the recent inauguration of
President Roosevelt was one of the
first to congratulate1 me upon my nom
ination to be a Justice of the Supreme
Court.
When this statement is ended my
discussion of the question is closed.
I believe the character and conduct
of every public servant, great and
small, should be subject to the con
stant scrutiny of the people. This
must be true if a democracy serves
its purpose.
It is in this spirit that I now bid
those who have been listening to me
good night.
