Show NEGRO PAPER COMMENTS ON HARRIS' TALK 1 "Opportunity," a monthly journal ; published in New York in the interests in-terests of the Is' eg io race, com-tains com-tains in its August issue a reproduction reproduc-tion of a paper read by President of Young University at the Denver Conference of social work on the theme, 'A Sane Approach to an Understanding of Racial an Red-ligious Red-ligious Prejudices." In his paper President Harris deplores the social strife that grows out of racial and religious prejudices, nnd makes a plea for the elimination of this prejudice and the recognition of the oneness of mankind. "Opportunity" speaks of President Harris's discussion as a "very splendid paper," but takes serious txeeption to the use of the word ! '"darky" in an illustrative, story ! told by President Harris. Jesse O. Vhomas, field secretary of the National Na-tional Urban League, is quoted as in some things a speaker must not do in discussing the race question, jfMinong them being to use the words 'nigger' or 'darky' in telling a story. |
