Eightydegree temperatures and the lack of a swimming pool in every other city block are nothing new. and there are millions of youngsters. Negro and white. who do not have the luxury of recreational facilities and whose parents have Incomes well below the arbitrary poverty level established by the Federal Government. yet they do not resort to violence or the threat of violence. Perhaps it is appropriate to recall that millions of immigrants have come to this country. unable to speak and understand the English language. who have suffered discrimination and deprivation. yet. they have not taken to the streets. nor have they resorted to or threatened violence. Instead they have worked and conducted themselves in such a way as to earn the respect of everyone. and. in most instances. they have raised themselves by their own bootstraps to the point where they have provided well for their own families and have made valuable contributions to the community. The same can be said of many of our fine Negro citizens who have diligently and patiently toiled. who have succeeded in improving their own economic lot. and who have been a credit to their race.
