And, in fact, I don’t think the Americans should be particularly self-righteous on this score.”

| 01:06:57 355.66 |
Mr. Campos states, “I would say … there has been less violence and bloodshed in Brazil than there has been in the United State on the Negro issue, and clearly Negroes they are not enemies of democracy. So, we have managed, with very little, if any, physical violence, and I would say, even with less deprivation of civil rights than there has been for years in the United States on this question of the racial issue.”
