Joint Council for Repatriation A Bi-Racial Coalition United for Justice for Persons of African Descent Dedicated to the ideals of Abraham Lincoln Our Program: To inform colored persons of the existence of the JCR - a vital, aggressive movement dedicated to the genuine interests of the American-born African. To educate White persons to the true aims and aspirations of the Negro, and to so lessen racial friction. To seek to destroy the evil influence of radical, trouble-making, race-mixing, Communist-front organizations which masquerade as being for the benefit of the Negro, but which actually deliberately cause strife. To induce the U.S. Congress to pass legislation making African Repatriation a reality. To finance Repatriation and to provide liberal grants for Repatriates by curtailing foreign aid and needless military expenditures. To provide for the peaceful, rapid movement of Africans back to their motherland, Africa Board (Incomplete List) Afro Section - S.A. Davis, Chairman; Rev. Dr. Bryant, Earl Carter, Sylvester Carter, Thomas Ellis, Rev. Dr. Lawson, Lewis H. Michaux, Ben Stanley. White Section - E.L. Anderson, Chairman; Harold E. Cabot, Frank Meyers. Now is the time for Afros to cast off the chains of slavery to the White Man! Too long have we been chocked by the trickery and sweet words of false leaders who prolong our agony! It Is Time to Pass the Freedom Law! This provides incentive for both Black and White. Afros who go Home to Africa will receive one thousand dollars per year in food, clothes, hardware, etc., to enable them to construct a Mighty Black Civilization on the African Continent. Whites will be rid of their greatest problem - the Race Problem. Who Could Be Against This? Who would deny Afros the right to create their own civilization? Who would deny them the dignity and honor of being Truly Free, as God intended? Who would deny the justice and righteousness of paying compensation to Afros for three hundred years of bondage, humiliation and degradation? Who Will Fight the Freedom Law? I will tell you. Political demagogues, horrified at the thought of losing Black voters to Africa. Trouble-making leaders who see in continued race friction a chance to become important. White racists who will have no more Blacks to hate and lynch. Blood stickers, bankers and shylocks who will lose Black labor to exploit and Black borrowers to squeeze. Dope-pushers, numbers racketeers, pimps and whiskey kings who peddle their filth to a despairing people held in chains. Zionists who will lose political control of American when they lose control of Uncle Tom. Skinflints who will squeal at spending a few dollars on Afro-Americans but who demand that billions be thrown away on Anti-American foreigners. Communists who agitate riots and bloodshed, planning to pick up the pieces after Black and White kill each other off. These are the trouble making rabble who are against the Freedom Law. Watch them! In the fight now beginning to force the White Man's Congress to pass the Freedom Law, Blacks will learn who their friends and enemies really are. The above gang of sniveling parasites and wicked workers for Satan will not be able to explain why they hate the Freedom Law. Enclosed is a copy of the Freedom Law. Send it to your congressman. Urge him to introduce it and support it and fight for it. If he will not support the Freedom law, Demand to know why, spread the news about the Freedom Law far and wide. S.A.
