Mayor McCarthy's Flag Speech--Mr. Carter's Opinion
Condemns the speech of Richmond Mayor McCarthy at the Ice Exchange Convention in Richmond. The Mayor said that the "stars and stripes are all right in their way" but that he only recognized the battle flag of Virginia and the Confederate flag. When the African Methodist Episcopal Bishop Henry M. Turner condemned the American flag, he was criticized for his lack of patriotism. The writer says that Bishop Turner has more reason to feel animosity toward the American flag, though he is still wrong. The letter also says that Mayor McCarthy is hypocritical because he has Irish ancestry. The Irish, the writer charges, complain about lack of representation and oppression from England, but stand near the front in the United States in mistreating African-Americans.Robert W. Carter
