description Statement issued by James T. Mason, president of the Easonian Seminary, to the "Leaders of the White Race." In it Mason protests the mistreatment of African Americans: "This condition of affairs is becoming serious. Instead of the service rendered by the Negro, in the U.S. Army; and the willingness of the Negro to fill the ranks of the Defense-Workers, to supply the adequate means to win the war...He is now being discriminated against, as though he is an undesirable character...Do you take our you[n]g men away, where they are to give their lives for their country, and decimate our ranks to a smaller number; and then discriminate against the remnant, because of a National Requirement?" He asks white leaders, particularly ministers in Birmingham, Alabama, to use their influence to stop the "Rising Tide of Prejudice." This copy of the appeal was sent to Governor Chauncey Sparks.
