No matter how the facts are considered, by people's rights or juristically, here are considered people's rights, not only for American people of concern but for all of civilized mankind, meaning a disaster for their cultures and beyond, tendencies which have deep roots among all the natives of black countries, leaving deep confusions.
May the white race watch out, especially the German people which according to their "national hymn" are an example to all people of the world and therefore one of the most responsible bearers of culture, should the seeds sprout.
Or should the disaster become a symbol of a European mission?
The often discussed "The Decline of Western Civilization" cannot explain any better than to free those poor, eight Negro boys and to educate them to decent, useful people, just as equal rights is the strongest guarantee for peace among people.
We therefore take this occasion to join this "protest" and hope its endeavors have important success.
With high regards
the Manager

His Excellency,
Governor, State of Alabama,

Dear Sir,
I have been instructed by the members

against the verdict of the death sentence imposed on the

to the hideous and frame-up evidence of the two women,
Bates and Carter.
Faithfully Yours,

Monsieur le Gouverneur,
C'est avec une indegnation profinde que nous apprenons
les nouvelles persécutions dont sont victimes dans leur prison,
les malheureux nègres de Scottoboro, de la part de l'Administra-
tion pénitentiaire de votre pays.
Cette semaine, nous avons appris la mort de l'un d'entr'eux,
PATTERSON, survenue, d'après la version officielle, au cours de
la répression d'une mutinerie.
Or, nous avons de sérieuses raisons de douter de l'exacti-
tude de cette explication qui laisse entière la responsabilité
de la justice Américaine dont l'attitude partiale au cours du
dernier procès a empêché la libération de nos frères de couleur,
malgré les preuves évidentes de leur innocence.
Nous élevons une protestation véhémente contre ces moeurs
barbares, indignes d'un grand pays qui se prétend à l'avant-garde
de la civilisation.
S'il veut lutter efficacement contre la loi du Lynch et la
haine de race, votre Gouvernement se doit de donner un exemple
en ordonnant la libération immédiate. de ces innocents, sous peine
de s'attirer la juste réprobation de la conscience universelle.
Le Secrétaire de la Section de Lille du
Comité Mooney-Scottoboro,
Maucir
N. Faucier 158 rue du Melinel - Lille _ Nord

Lille, 26 May 1933
To Mr. B.M. Miller,
Governor in Montgomery, Alabama, United States
Mr. Governor
It's with profound indignation that we learn about the new persecutions of which the unfortunate niggers are victims in their prison at the hands of the penitentiary administration in your country.
This week we learned of the death of one of them, PATTERSON, which happened, according to the official version, during the repression of a mutiny.
However, we have serious reasons to doubt the accuracy of this explanation which leaves intact the responsibility of the American justice system whose biased attitude during the last trial prevented the liberation of our brothers of color despite the obvious evidence of their innocence.
We raise a vehement protest against these barbarous customs unworthy of a great country that claims to be in the vanguard of civilization.
If it wants to fight efficiently against the Lynch law and race-based hate, your Government must set an example by ordering the immediate liberation of these innocents, under penalty of attracting the just condemnation of global consciousness.
The secretary of the Lille section of the Mooney-Scottsboro Committee
N. Faucier, 158 rue de Melinel, Lille, Nord, France

Description
An account of the resource
The Comité Mooney-Scottsboro, Section de Lille, France, responds to rumors of Haywood Patterson's death after a prison revolt. The letter questions this version of events, expresses strong doubt about Patterson's conviction based on the evidence, and demands that the U.S. government—because of its strong international profile— take a stand against lynch law and racial hatred by releasing the Scottsboro Boys. The Mooney-Scottsboro Committee was a United Front group that called for the freedom of both American political activist and labor leader Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro Boys.
