Whether I Am Or Am Not A Communist Is Irrelevant. The Question Is Whether American Citizens, Regardless Of Their Political Beliefs Or Sympathies, May Enjoy Their Constitutional Rights.

Freedom Is A Hard-bought Thing And Millions Are In Chains, But They Strain Toward The New Day Drawing Near.

If The United States And The United Nations Truly Want Peace And Security Let Them Fulfill The Hopes Of The Common People Everywhere - Let Them Work Together To Accomplish On A Worldwide Scale, Precisely The Kind Of Democratic Association Of Free People Which Characterizes The Soviet Union Today.

Through The Years I Have Received My Share Of Recognition For Efforts In The Fields Of Sports, The Arts, The Struggle For Full Citizenship For The Negro People, Labor's Rights And The Fight For Peace.

We Must Join With The Tens Of Millions All Over The World Who See In Peace Our Most Sacred Responsibility.
