To The Editor,
‘'St. Croix Avis’’,
Dear
Mr. Editor:
;
In reply to an epistle written by
Mr.
D. Hamilton Jackson
published
in
your
paper
of the
21st inst. in which he
open-
ly attacked
the Delegates
of
the
Virgin
Islands
Protective
League
as
diviating
from the lecture
on America ism
on
the
night of
the
15th
inst.,
aiso
what
he
seems
to term as showing up the sO-called
hypocrisy
of the Delegates,
by
making
E{)ublic
a letter written by
wne dated
April
18 -
Permit
me
to ask
the
writer
why
did
he
not publizh the
entire
letter?
which
might have
tend
to
throw
a
clear
light
on my meaning?
Also if my address
on

Lo
ot e,
said night did
not treat
on
Americanism
and Race
Consciousness?
Agair
the writer
made
mertion
that
he
had
promised
his
support
to
the
League
I must openly confess that as part
organizer and Vice Prestlent
of said
Lea-
gue,
I have
no knowledge
of such
a prom-
ise being made,
for
instead
of
his
co-
operation, I found that he withh.ld his
4s-
sistance,
not
because
of
any
crroneous
statements
made by
the Leagu~
relative
to the
atrocities
committed
here,
but
be-
cause
of personal
grievances
f{hat
long
existed
between
the President
and
him-
self.
:
It seems
as if the publishing of my Jet-
ter to him,
is
intended
to
blacken
the
purpnse
of our visit here,
and also
to
re-
tard.the
progress
of the League.
Quoting the American
slang,
1 ‘will say
““Every knock
is
a boost,”’
‘
As
atrie
Radical
woman,
and
Social
worker, I nave labored unceasin
zly in de-
fence
of my Raece,
and
can
openly
say,
that
my hands
are
clean,
and
my
con-
science
clear.
=
I can stand
up
in defiance daring
any-
one
to poirt an
accusing
finger
at
me,
either
as
a traitor
to
my
race,
or
with
dishonesty.
[ do not
have
tc
afiiliate
myself
with
movements
for
the
expluitation
of
my
race,
neither do I have to sell
them,
nor
my principles
for
a
few paltry
dollars.
That,
I will leave
to thnse
who ae
livihg
at the expense
of the
masses,
for I
have
a professicn
that affords
me a li "elihood.
Whern
you
are
living indep -ndently
with clcan
hands
and
clear
conscience,
you
can lock everyone
in
the eyes, and
tell them
to go t0...
..
:
It seems
as though I am
being used-as
a whip to trgsh
ont old time
grugge
that
exists between
certain
persons.
May
1 ask when
will
men
b 2 men?
and stop
hiding behind
women
apron’s
stripes
.

When will the Negro Race

;
If we as l=zaders
do not set
aside
hostil-
ities and unite,
then hov
in the
name of
common
sense,
can
we
achieve
Success.
It seems
to me that
instead
of
comlil g
together
and fighting for
cur
just rigats
with
the
true
spirit
¢f r'ratermity,
we
openly fight against
each
other.
- Can we
as
a race
progress
uuder
such
feelings?
The fact that
certain
factions
are
an-
friendly to
us because
¢t
personality,
is’
no proof that cur mission
is
a
failare, as
was siaied
by
the writer,
that
we
he ve
done
more harm
than good.
May [
not
ask
if harm
was
not
done
before
oar
visit ?
:
I would
like te
state
that
Race
Con-
sciousness
does
not
mean
abuse,
neither
can it be taughc
by abuse.
It is too
Lad
that
we do not practice
what
we preach.
Thanking
you
Mr. Editor
for
your
valued
space,

Very respectfully
yours,
