Fhe November 1, 1917 issue of the "People's Voice” carried a column entitled "From Me to You” by Lena Horne. The colum is quoted in part as follows: "I happen to know many of Hollywood's Progressives who ere under smear attack. John Wexley, Irwin Shaw, Charles Chaplin, Pobert Rosson, Emmett Lavery, Jom Garfield, Alvah Bessie, Edward G. Robinson, James gems and dozens of others whom the Thomas Committee would like to Tye ouv of employment in the movie industry, are all staunch believers in racial equality and the progressive integration of the Negro in our society. They are good people who deserve the support and encouragerent of our people, the Negro people during this time of ¢risis. I know that these Progressives would appreciate hearing from you, if only to know that out there in the great audience they serve there are rillions who believe in decency, justice and fair play."
