This line seems ambiguous:
- and, just months before the concert in 1949, he had appeared at the World Peace Conference in Paris, stating "it is unthinkable that American Negroes will go to war in behalf of those who have oppressed us for generations . . . against a country which in one generation has raised our people to the full dignity of mankind."
To which country is he referring? -- Viajero | Talk 17:01, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
- The Soviet Union, apparently.

Red scare
What he hell is the deal with this Red Scare edit war? I've seen it removed and readded zillions of times without anyone giving a single justification for either edit. If you're going to edit war at least discuss it in the talk page! I included it when I originally wrote this article, but I'm not married to having it remain if someone can give me any indication of why it should not stay. I'm going to re-add it if I don't hear anything soon. -R. fiend 19:08, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
