Tom Linder, former Georgia Com

night that the Sibley School Com
mittee did not actually submit to the
people ot Geoigia the most Important
alternative in the racial school pro
blem.
He said it seemed to him that the
committee offered either racial in
tegration or closed schools.
“The parentB of school children
school be the ones to decide,” be
said. “I do not believe that the
people of Georgia want to sacrifice
tile school system they presently
have.”
Linder suggested that every parent
be required to sign an application
under oath stating the kind of school
that they wanted their children to
attend.
Linder, who said he was a one time
afliliated with the original Ku Klux I
Klan, told about the days when he
! lived on a moderate sized plantation. J
“My father told,” he said, “if there |
is racial trouble In a community I
there is usually a sorry white man
there. Get rid of him and- your
trouble will be gone.”

The United States has walled her

any conceivable way, Btated Larson,
himself a special consultant to Presi

perty of any sort?”
No idea of the re-establishment of
slave trade was in the minds of the
slave holder; his main goal was to
maintain an equal area of both slave
and free land. But to some people
in the North, attempts to establish
slavery in the territories seemed to
be merely an attempt to re-establish
the slave trade, and they avowed to
stop the spread of this dread institu
tion at all costs.
Thus the Abolition of African
Servitude Movement began. Within
a few years this was to become one
of the biggest movements in the na
tions history.
