Doesn't the five senses of small
colored children marching
BRAVELY off to integrate a
'white' school for the first time
give you a thrill while at the same
time make you feel ashamed that’
you have failed to exemplify even
a little of that courage by regis
tering to vote and helping to get
others to do likewise?

truly a preacher who is really a
j minister looking for much more
than a Cadillas and high-priced

help elevate our race. His voice
not even the echo of it has
reached the preachers of Eastern
