Dr. Fram Supports
Book's Publication

Dr. Leon Fram, spiritual lead-
er of Temple Israel, is one of
seven Detroit clergymen to have
joined forces in sending out a
letter to their colleagues calling
attention to a booklet, "The
People of Kenya Speak for
Themselves."
The brochure, written by
Mbiyu Koinange, president of
Kenya Teachers College in Afri-
ca, and a delegate in the United
Kingdom of the Kenya. African
Union, will be published this
Saturday, in pocket book form.
In the book, the author calls
attention to the fact that over
8,000 people have been killed in
Kenya since the declaration of
the emergency there in October,
1952. It urges the freedom of
Kenya's African people to "speak
for themselves, go to school,
work and trade like people all
over the civilized world."
In his preface, Koinange ex-
plains that his book calls at-
tention to the efforts of his
people and what they were doing
for themselves "and what the
(British) government should
have been doing for them."
He explains the somewhat
confused_ talk case "Mau Mau"
as the awakening of the African
people of Kenya to make their
situation known to the people
of Britain and throughout the
world through constitutional
channels.
The subsequent controversy
and violence, Koinange reports,
has been the result of the ter-
ror of Kenya's European set-
tlers who set out to wipe out
this "African popular move-
ment" and "thrust Kenya back
into barbarism and disorder."
One of the principal Detroit
backers of the project is Dr.
Grace C. Lee, the daughter of
Chinese parents, who is the wife
of an employee at Chrysler Mo-
tor Co.

phlet or the work of the local
committee which is fighting for
the rights of Kenya's African
people, write KenYa. Publication
