Today, this writing, I am
celebrating another birthday. Up
to this

full of the ups afid downs

American

I have
gamut of emotions common to
man,. birth, death of loved ones,
pain, hunger, hatred, anger, pity,
and compassion.

These are the common lot of
mankind, no matter what his
shade of skin, politics, or religion.

~But today is a bit different,
for I have seen my people get together in a common cause for a
common purpose. Many of them
are much, much, younger than
I and. many of them are contemporaries of mine with whom I
fought this battle in the shops
years ago.~

~This has brought me to that
realization that Flint is a city
unique unto itself and its people are unique unto ~themselves.

and as quiet. as it is kept, si
purchasing power of the Negro in Flint has risen to almost
ur or more million dollars a
week.

Almost every. major industry
has provided or is providing

job opportunities and training

to the Negro in Flint.

Preparation for opportuyity

abounds in our many _ instiuttions of learning in Flint. In fact,
I*even heard a young person
say recently that ~things were
too-easy for Negroes in Flint,~
they needed to have it harder~!
To this Qe2rson I remarked,
~Where were you in the thirties?~ and was politely reminded that, ~I hadn~t been ~born
yet!~ C~est la vie.....
