Black Educator Accuses Jews of Enslaving Blacks; Students Offer No Protest

A vicious attack on the Jews was launched here by a black educator addressing students at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CCNY). James Garrett, Director of the Center of Black Education in Washington. D.C., declared in a speech sponsored by the Afro-American Institute of Brooklyn College that “It is the Jew, in particular, who has kept the black man under chains. The Jew controls the means, services and most important, owns the land. The black man has been so incorporated in this society that, should the white man decide to kill the black man, he can do so at will simply by culling off all the services which he controls.” Although many members of the audience were Jewish and there are several Jewish organizations on campus, no official protest at the statement was lodged with the Afro-American Institute.
