You mentioned also in your speech the second week of Febuary as a time of commenorating negro history. May I suggest tht during this week, in an effort to emphasize the econonical buying power of the negro, you select specific days when negros would be encouraged to buynothing from anyone. I can assure you that the implications would be far greater than many would suspect. I submit further that many sympathetic whites would be pleased and proud to collaborate with you in this type of effort.

Yours very truly,
