But The Deep Desire For Peace Remained

This Is Our Home And This Is Our Country. Beneath Its Soil Lie Bones Of Our Fathers; For It Some Of Them Fought, Bled, And Died. Here We Were Born And Here We Will Stay.

I Know That If The Peace Movement Takes Its Message Boldly To The Negro People A Powerful Force Can Be Secured In Pursuit Of The Greatest Goal Of All Mankind. And The Same Is True Of Labor And The Great Democratic Sections Of Our Population.

Artists Are The Gatekeepers Of Truth.

And At Home In The United States We Found Continued And Increased Persecution, First Of Leaders Of The Communist Party, And Then Of All Honest Anti-fascists.

We Must Join With The Tens Of Millions All Over The World Who See In Peace Our Most Sacred Responsibility.
