No Negro gathering is complete without Joe Louis and he was on hand opening...

Thus rudely brought back to April, 1938, the Vagabond let them die. Time enough to rekindle them later, he reflected; and, in imagination, he will watch the dancing fire and hear the golden voice as he listens to Professor Frankfurter tonight in the New Lecture Hall, speaking on "The Court and Mr. Justice Holmes: Civil Liberties and the Individual...
