Letter from Roy Nash to United States President

1957

Introducing himself as a veteran of the First and Second World Wars; attesting to W. E. B. Du Bois's expertise, prominence, and leadership of the Pan-African movement; noting that he has been specially invited to Ghana to mark the occasion of its independence; and complaining of the injustice and utter hypocrisy of the federal government's refusal to grant him a passport therefor.
