This t8, of course, my personal opinion not
basedupon offictal statistical data. But behind it stands
the experience of my travels throughout the world, JI openly
admit my prejudice, It is the rarest opportunity to be in a
country and not to be subjected to insults because of one's
ractal origin and to enjoy respect for the things which one
tried to accomplish, JI am prejudtcedin favor of the Soviet
Union. My prejudice tsa based upon the things I saw and
erpertenced. Many Soviet people belong to the white race,
However, there are no racial prejudices in the soutet Union,
nor ractal hatred characteristic of the Anglo-Saron
countries in their relations with the world of the colored
people.
I and my wife SHIRLEY GRAHAM were granted the
honor of talking with the Chairman of the Council of
Ministers of the USSR, MN. S. EHRUSHCHEV. We devoted the
greater part of our two-hour talk to the discussion of problems
of the colored people, JI was telling about what has
happened in America in the Jast £40 years and A. S, KHRUSHCAEY
itstened to mé with great attention and sympathy. I
asked him about the attitude of the Soviet Union toward
Africa, meaning by this not the aims or problems of defense
but the field of cooperation, I proposed that the Soviet
Academy of Sciences Joined with the African acientists in
the cause of the study of Africa, particularly in culture
and history. JI could never achieve such cooperation in
America and seldom met with interest toward tt in Western
Europe, However, N. 8S, KHRUSHCHEV quickly and with enthusiasm
offered his aid in this cause.
We left the Kremlin filled with most pleasant
hopes.
