The Negro. however. is the only minority in the United States who has not been willing to work and strive to earn recognition and acceptance. The Negro race and the Negro alone have sought to strongarm and use physical force to secure the right of association from the majority against the wishes of that majority. Back in the 1850s. when the tide of Irish immigration was running so high. a new party was formed. called the American or Know Nothing Party. It was aimed at the Irish. A distinguished national committeewoman from one of the great New England States told me that when she was a little girl she could not play on the main street of the greatest city of her State because she was Irish.
