Jones, J. A.

In this editorial for the Nashville Banner, J. A. Jones comments on the recent dismissal of African American soldiers due to the Brownsville affair. He lists some of the good things President Roosevelt has done for the African American community but critiques him for not speaking out about lynching and race riots. Jones suggests that Texas handles its own affairs and Roosevelt stay out of it.
