The story is told of "Big Boy" Archer adminishing the white police assigned to Morehouse College Athletic games. The policemen had been assigned to Morehouse so long that he considered himself one of us--And at our football games, he woudl run up and down teh side lines following every play and keeping the crowds from coming on the field shouting "You Niggers Stand Back". On one of those occasions, Big Boy Archer went up to our friendly security and said to the gentleman--"I appreciate what you are trying to do--but I wish you wouldn't refer to our fans as 'Niggers'--It is said, the man said to Mr. Archer, "Professor I am not talking about your Nigger, I am talking about these other Niggers who are getting in the way of Morehouse marching up and down the field".

For years Negro newspapers in New York could not get any advertising from the Coca Cola Company until Moss Kendrix came to New York and put an end to that practice.
