A young"wiiite man asked me recently, "How Does One Get to
Know_ Negroes?"
There are many answers to his question.
Each answer to such a question is based on the reason for ask­ing
it, or the reason for desiring to know Negroes.
, If a member of the wiiite com-"i
rtfunity is curious about the Negro
and how he lives, then I would
.suggest a visit, to the hbme of a
Negro in a nearly coTnmunity; a
church where Negroes congregate;
the local Tavem, or read some o|
the liiousands o( studies available:
In- i'963 When I came to North
East Frecport, white people -were
busy tiying to move out of the
North East. Many white residents
chose to stay. For anyone who
sincerely wants to meet and learn.
about Negroes; learn to "live- in
h^mony with Negroes, and help
to solve some of the proUenu; of
our commumty. ask the -white
citizens of North East Freeport .
