McElderry, G. T

Description

McElderry claims not to fall out with people because of religious or political views and believes "the Master" was a Socialist, though not "the common garden variety." "Socialists a la the Master are actuated by love for their fellowman Communist are actuated by hate." John R. Lewis. Eleanor Roosevelt suggests McElderry take up his cause locally, but mistreatment of the Negro is a national matter.
