A resolution urging the 20, 000, 000 Negroes in the United States to lend assistance in the apprehension and punishment of anti-Semitic vandals was adopted at a conference of Negro leaders here.
“We apprise American citizens of the Jewish faith and such other citizens who may be the victims of racial and religious persecution that they have a faithful ally in the American Negro who recognizes that acts of injustice to one group strike at the safety, security, and well-being of all Americans,” the resolution said.
(In Washington, U. S. Congressman Robert N. C. Nix, of Pennsylvania, a member of the Negro race, today directed Congressional attention to the resolution in a speech delivered on the House floor condemning anti-Jewish acts in this country. If such injustices are permitted against any minority group,” we will all in time be destroyed by the same injustices,” he said,)
