They did not cry out discrimination at every turn. rather. they set out to prove their worth to the Nation. They wove their worth into the fabric of our Nation and they won by the sweat of their brows the right of equal opportunity. which is all any real Irishman ever asked for because that was all he ever needed. The harder the Irish were pressed or abusedyes. persecuted. the greater became their mark on any country to which they emigrated. and the countries are many. The United States is no exception to their truism of history. Those wha contemplate an attack or assault upon the Irish because of their heritage would do well to remember this lesson of history. and let us. as Irish. never forget that if we grow soft and too contented with our lot. unmindful of our public responsibilities. that asqault will surely follow.
