| More Interest in Own Affairs Needed. To the Editor of the. AFRO: What surprises me most in the Lindbergh kidnapping case is the interest shown in it by colored people. Now what makes .my blood boil is that a similar amount of interest is not manifested, in matters concerning our race's welfare, for instance, lynching, and such injustices as the sentence imposed in the Scottsboro, Ala. cases, and endless other indignities heaped upon our group. If those of us who show so much interest in the Lindbergh case and similar cases of the white race, would only show half that interest in matters that are detrimental to their children and race in general, what a blessing it would be to us, to the N.A.A.C.P., the Urban League, and other organizations that are fighting relentlessly for our rights as American citizens. Last, but not least, if the white race would only show one-fourth as much interest in the disfranchisement, segregation and lynch law, which is shamefully imposed on twelve million colored Americans, as they have shown for the Lindbergh kidnapping, how happy their twevle million fellow-Americans would be and what a much better place America would be for all concerned.
