Lincoln
(Continued from Page 1)
tion League in a public lecture on
“political extremes” at Boston’s
Jordan Hall.
Dr. Lincoln, who has been widely
hailed for his book The Black Mus
lims in America, addressed himself
to a discussion of that movement,
which he labeled as “involuntary
counter-racism^” He said “black
nationalism thrives best in an at
mosphere of white prejudice.
Wherever Negroes and whites work
together in common interest and
toward common goals, there is lit
tle opportunity for racial chauvin
ism of any brand to assert itself.”
The forum was interrupted when
police, acting on a tip that a bomb
had been planted in the building,
evacuated the audience of more
than 1,000 people. However, the
crowd refused to disperse, greet
ing Dr. Lincoln with a thunderous
ovation when he appeared on the
steps of Jordan Hall to continue his
address.
Speaking from the steps over
looking Gainsborough Street, Dr.
Lincoln declared, “Whether or not
a bomb has been planted in Jordan
Hall is a matter for the Boston po
lice; but whether or not free speech
in America shall be intimidated by
bombs or threats of bombs is a
matter for you and for me to de
cide together. As for me, I am pre
pared to continue.”
As loundspeakers were being set
up in the street, the meeting was
invited to continue at nearby Hunt
ington Avenue YMCA. Dr. Lincoln
completed his address and re
mained for an extended discussion.
Neither Forster nor Lincoln ex
pressed an opinion regarding the
origin of the bomb threat.
