into n metal storage idled in the rear

ticked eff the history of America's
inhumanity to it* colored citizens and
seni^how, inexplicably, mndc each
white person feel that he was guilty
of complicity in America's greater
sin.
The crowdrd hearing room was

such is possible—it got quieter ns he
wrut rlotig. Senntors, each with a
copy of the speech, turned the pages
as Wilkins reud. nnd simultaneously
suffered s If indictment for indiffer-
ence nnd neglect, as Wilkins patiently
plo 'ded on.
"It must be remembered," he aald,
"that while we talk here today, while
we talked Inst week, and while the
congress will be debating in the n<>xt
weel:s, Negro Americans throughout
our country will lie bruised in nearly
every wnkiug hour by differential

It wns not just tho word* which I
Wilkins apoke that so enraptured his'
andi'iice, it wis alo the act mil physi-
cal drumn portrayed by th» cast of
