Rev. Bro n,
Y u spend much time and
ener y criticizing the non­
Blac people of Benton Har­
bor - do you think it i wise
to ler tho bad whites conduct
ummer tutoring cia c for
the children - mostly Black
- also beginning band cia cs
held at the white Congrega­
tional Church.
I underst nd the Benton
Harbor Congregat onal
Church also bas BI ck children
in their Sunday School cl es.
They provide tran portation
for them'. DO YOU THI K IT
IS SAFE FOR THESE
CHILDREN? There's a Blac
church everywhere you lob in
Benton Harbor. What are they
doing except tearing down the
goodwill that existed in Ben­
ton Harbor between the.Blecks
and white - we lived with
re peer for e ch other - then
- the South move to
Michigan bee use of our good
welfare - and wi th them came
no re pect for law and order,
only trouble and lazine s.
I grew up ona farm. By the
time I w 9 years old I could
out pic most adult . My hus­
band worked seven (7) day
week al his job when we first
were m rried.
Mini ters are suppo c to do
good - build up - not tear
down!!!
Dear Rev. Brown:
Who wrote the letter that
appeared in Friday nights
Herald Palladium over our
name?
ow, dear Rev. Brown, you
have expressed your opinion
in public too many time. for
the readers to believ that you
compo ed that letter. But if by
any chance you did writ it,
were you a polic 0 r cer
bef'or you became a minister?
Better s y your prayers long
and leud, God doe n't like
people who try to trick the
·public.
Bet the member of your
enure are having a good gab
Ie t ower you trying 'to 001
them into believing you h ve
literar ability. If you are that
capable. what are you doing in .
a little church in Benton 14ar­
bor.
I'll remember you in my
praye
B.M. Volkman'
