of compensatory or preferential treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality,
they agree, but should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable but it is not realistic, For it is obvious that if a man
enters the starting line of a race 300 years after another man, the first would have to perform
some incredible feat in order to catch up
to his fellow runner." ♪ God bless the child ♪ ♪ Who's got its own ♪
