Let Us Not Forget

During this Black History Month, we must not forget that the struggle for freedom was fought with the dedicated support of many white citizens. Two of these gave their young lives in a dastardly, cowardly mob murder.

As I have fought all of my life against bigotry, I remind my fellow black citizens that bigotry of any kind –particularly anti Semitism- does not serve our interests or those of our children.

Three young men, Cheney, Goodman and Schwerner shall not be forgotten. God rest their souls.
