American Independence, p.6

American Independence, p.6

"One hundred-seventy-five years ago this week, America declared her full independence. In the throes of this freedom abornin, the new Nation declared the equality of all men, and in the century and three-quarters since this forthright declaration, there always have been men of puny stature who would withhold this equality on a basis of race, religion and creed. Time’s runnin’ out fast. Fear that we again must engage in war to protect our independence grips the nation. But since there never can be national acceptance of man’s equality until it is embraced by individual Americans, this Independence Day, 1951, is a good time to rededicate ourselves to the task of guaranteeing full and exact independence for all Americans. Put a firecracker under the foot draggers, North and South and KEEP ‘EM JUMPIN’ STEADY! Victory is sure, if we keep our courage and will to fight."
