Delegations representing various Negro organizations also called on the attorney.”It now become apparent,” Mr. Leibowitz said last night, “that irrespective of any small differences that may have arisen in the past between different organizations seeking to lead this fight, the race has reached the conclusion that this case marks a turning point in the life of the American Negro, who has been kept shackled by intolerance of the bigots. They are going through with the fight.”Mr. Leibowitz was announced as one of the principal speakers for a demonstration in Union square at 6 o’clock tonight by the International Labor Defense. Mrs. Janie Patterson, mother of the Negro reconvicted in Decatur this week, is due in New York this afternoon and will attend the meeting.Hays Listed as Speaker. Others scheduled to speak are Joseph R. Brodsky, chief counsel for the International Labor Defense; John Haynes Holmes, Arthur Garfield hays and Roger Baldwin.The International Labor Defense, through William L. Patterson, its national secretary, assailed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People yesterday for its statement of Monday to the effect that the injection of communism into the trial affected the verdict in the Patterson case.”The directors of the N.A.A.C.P. have seen fit to gloat over the death verdict against Heywood Patterson,” said the defense secretary. “They take the occasion of this verdict to bring forward a ridiculous claim that had they been in the case the verdict would have been different.”They say that ‘racial prejudice closed the eyes of the jurors’ and at the same time that the injection of communism into the case brought about the death verdict.””Aside from the completely gratuitous confusion of the International Labor Defense, a non-partisan organization, with the Communist party, which is brought for ward merely to hide the existence of a workers’ organization of defense, this statement is in itself a contradiction.Statement Declared Untrue. “This statement that the N.A.A.C.P. went to the aid of the Scottsboro boys at the trial is another. The records prove this conclusively.”Harlem Negroes, led by several ministers of their race and by W. H.

This week is about thinking critically about the master narratives that have shaped how world history has been written and taught. Namely, the paradigm of Eurocentrism that has dominated the story, which holds western civilizations as supreme.*Think about the narratives of western civilization that you have been taught, and answer the following questions.1. What is one way that you learned these narratives? (Lessons in school, movies/shows in popular culture, etc,.)2. What is one particular historical moment/event that you remember being portrayed and framed in this way? (ancient Egypt, Columbus’ conquest, etc,.)3. Finally, how would you invert or flip that narrative to re-write the story into a “new global storyline”? (For instance, what we are taught is the heroic story of Columbus and conquest could actually be a story of Indigenous resilience to invasion.)
