All my life we have been
fighting against this same .thing as it applies to the Ne- 1gro. Mr. Robinson said yester- 92day. I won't retract something I
~like this. It is a matter of prin-
ciple. Black supremacy is justas bad as white supremacy." T- The dispute revolves around!plans by Sol Singer, a white,restaurateur, to open a steak--{

125th Street between Seventh

The Harlem Consu ers Com-mittee. led by ' x. i
