  • U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt delivered the keynote speech on Decoration Day at the Arlington National Cemetery and used the occasion of the almost-concluded war in the Philippines, and the courts-martial of U.S. Army officers for atrocities, to denounce racist violence in the United States. "Is it only in the army in the Philippines that Americans sometimes commit deeds that cause all other Americans regret?" he asked and then answered "No! From time to time there occur in our country, to the deep and lasting shame of our people, lynchings carried on under circumstances of inhuman cruelty and barbarity infinitely worse than any that has ever been committed by our troops in the Philippines ... The men who fail to condemn these lynchings, and yet clamor about what has been done in the Philippines, are indeed guilty of neglecting the beam in their own eye while taunting their brother about the mote in his."[34]
