I was struck by a question a little Filipino boy asked me, which ran about this way: "Why does the American Negro come ...
to fight us where we are much A friend to him and have not done anything to him. He is all the same as me and me all the same as you.
Why don't you fight those people in America who burn Negroes, that make a beast of you . . . ?"
