1 J. Saunders Redding, On Being Negro In America 1 (1951)

handle is hein.civil/onbgngro0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 








What   a self-conscious people your Negroes are! a
recent French visitor exclaimed. He was right. The
Negro  lives constantly on two planes of awareness.
Watching   the telecast of a boxing match between
Ezzard  Charles, the Negro  who   happened  to be
heavyweight  champion,  and  a white challenger, a
friend of mine said, I don't like Charles as a person
but I've got to root for him to beat this white boy-
and good.
  One's  heart is sickened at the realization of the
primal energy  that goes undeflected and unrefined
into the sheer business of living as a Negro in the
United States-in any one of the United States.
