Opportunities are ly ing loosely around with no Negro takers in sight. All kinds of “luscious” advertise ments fill our daily newspapers, with no Negroes prepared to answer. Our leaders have prepared the people for demonstra tions and riots and a commendable “fight ing complex, but they have not prepared Negroes to take over the opportunities of the hour. Negroes have not been convin einglgy told that if Negroes survive the cut-throat competition of the Twentieth Century the*y must survive by reason of struggle and hard work, with emphasis on hard work.
