The white & negro question is of long standing. A negro should have all rights and freedom as he has in our country. He is a human being and has feelings and a Soul, given him by God. However God has placed between us a barrier of color. So therefore we must accept this barrier and live, fight, and play separately with no malice or ill-feeling between us. Since we respect each other as free red-blooded men but realize intermingling freely presents unsurmountable obstacles.
Classification of free response : 6: Separate outfits because separation is right in principle (races should be kept separate, the Negro is O.K. on his side of the fence)
