THE CRUSADER, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
OCTOBER 17, 190ft
Down With The
Savannah Banner
The Huvunnith Buiiner wuh no
food for our community. It’*
done now, "Good Riddance to
Had Rubbish.” This so-called
"■coop-sheet” caused the Savan
nah Freedom Now Movement the
integration of the white howling
alleys. Integration of these es
tablishments had been negotia?
ed. An agreement was made
during negotiations to work out
thesj. problems without publicity.
It is believed someone attending
the negotiations was Abe’s pimp
When negotiations were complet
ed, Abe knew as much as the at
tendance there. Hi* didn’t light
en up. The Savannah Banner
hit the streets with all the se
crets. Then the whites charge.]
the Negroes with hi caking faith,
someone did.
The Segregationists got the Sa
vannah Banner. They pressur
ed the howling industry. Leagues
began to withdraw. Then it be
came a matter of dollars and
cents with the lane owners. They
froze up and went hack on the
agreement. Thanks to Abe's
pimp and the Savanrah Banner.
The Savannah Banner stated in
an editorial on July 20 that the
NAACr had not condoned or tak
en pari in th e night demonstra
tions. This was false. The
NAAOP not only condoned it but
sponsored night demonstrations.
The only reason they stopped,
the size of the crowd was dis
couraging.
Many untruths accompanied
the August 4th issue. The pub
lisher allowed an article entitled:
"City’s Negro Leadership Veto
Dr. King’s Coming,” to give the
NAACP credit for additional Ne
gro Police, Negro Firemen, the
hiring of Negroes by the city to
do jobs previously held by whites
only, desegregation of the Golf
Course and the Public Library;
solidifying of the Negro vote and
developing favorably communica
tion between the City Fathers
and true Negro leadership, these
are gains made by a united Ne
gro vote, guided and negotiated
by the Chatham County Crusade
For Voters.
The Savannah Banner caused
many supporters of the Savannah
Freedom Now Movement to go,
astray by claiming "Hosea’s j
Movement is virtually crushed
unless outsiders come in and un
less the Negro ministers and
the NAACP bail him out.” What
the Savannah Banner did not
know, EVEN IN JAIL HOSEA
L. WILLIAMS STILL PULLS
WE STRINGS.
