Shields, H. C Knights of Columbus Crisis (Firm) National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Description

Congratulating him heartily on his "masterly essay, Towards a History of the Black Man in the Great War," which appeared in the June issue of the "Crisis"; calling his attention to a certain passage from p. 86; and describing some experiences gained during his experience as Secretary of the Knights of Columbus, which may have a bearing on Du Bois's coverage of the theme.
