that tonight I am going to talk to you about security,
freedom, equality, and justice. He told them that they
had become slaves to the white man because they permitted
him to hire their women in his kitchens, and to nurse
their babies even while neglecting their own. Tiat
you,can never be free as long as you are dependent on the
white man for a livelihood. How can you say that you
are free and have to beg the white man for his jobs.
Now hbow cre vou te become indenendent? Mist fa ta

employ yourself, in your own businesses. You have
been subjected to the white man so long that many
of you have come to believe that you cannot live
without him; when the truth is that he cannot live
without you, It was your ancestors that built this
country, planted the farms, built the roads, and performed
the arduous labor that heiped make this country in the
world. Yet he has never given you justice and equality. \
is a hateful word to him wherever you are concerned, {
And as he told his listeners, it 18 impossible to have
freedom without justice and equality. Why has he
changed so in these last years? Has he had a change
of heart all of a sudden? ‘Why is he willing to permit
your children to go to his schools, and for you to
ride on the same trains with him, end eat in the same restau-
rants? Is it due to a change of heart? Well, come out next
Wednesday and I shall give you the answers to these questions,

join and help carry the message he taught, to stand and
to go the back. Only one man and one woman responded.
He chided the others for their hesitancy in acceptifg
the gift of salvation, as he termed it, but he stated that
his job was done if they heard and understood, if they
accepted or rejected was not his worry. He invited them to
come again and to also visit the Snabazz Restaurant,
where the best of food was being served and they were
maxing Jj iobs for our people. \
