Frank P. Graham, a southerner, in a decision on the question of equal pay for Negro and white workers for the War Labor Board, said: “Slavery gave the Negro his Christianity. Christianity must give the Negro his freedom. This freedom must give the Negro equal rights to home and health, education and citizenship, and an equal opportunity to work and fight for our common country.”
The point
Christianity gave faith to the enslaved; now it must help secure their full freedom and equal rights.
