Common Negroes and Lynch Law in the South
A discussion by Emmett J. Scott, editor of the Texas Freeman, denounces a vicious element among Southern blacks labeled as the common Negro. He argues lynching targets criminals rather than race as a whole and urges respectable Black citizens to lead a reform crusade to raise mental and moral standards while condemning defenders of the label. He also warns against racial judgments and calls for fair treatment of competent Black Americans in military service and national affairs.
