Commenting on Mr. Hill’s
election, the Richmond Times-
D'spatch, morning daily edit-
ed by Virginitis Dabney, said:
“Something of a milestone In
Richmond’s modern political
history was set with the selec¬
tion of Oliver W. Hill, Negro at¬
torney, to the city council. No
colored citizen has been chosen
to public office here since the
late 19th century, and some
white Richmonders may be in¬
clined to view the novel phe¬
nomenon with alarm.
“Actually however, there is
no real basis for such a feeling.
Mr. Hill is a valuable citizen
who is well qualified by educa-
tion and background to sit on
the council. Trained in law,
he is highly regarded by the
Negro community, and compe¬
tent to pass upon the issues
which will come before him on
the municipal legislative body
“Since the population of
Richmond is nearly one-third
colored, it is altogether natu¬
ral that this large segment of
the city’s life should be repre¬
sented by a man of Mr. Hill’s
character and capacity. His
presence on the law making
making body should give our
Negro citizens a sense of par¬
ticipation in municipal affairs
here that they have not had
during this century and should
promote better Interracial rela-
Hons. While the propriety of
’single-shooting by Negroes may
be questioned by some, it is ob-
vious that several thousaru
whites also voted for Hi
The New York Herald in-
unc ,saic * editorially:
'’Richmond, where once tlr
Stars and Bars flew, did a an
some . and startling thing on
June 8 A ycung Negro awyer ’
Oliver W Hill, was elected to
Richmond’s new chamber city
council, Nothing like it had
happened since 1888. True
enough, Mr. Hill barely squeez¬
ed in at the bottom of the nine-
place council, beating out ot)«
of the all-white list offered by
the Richmond Citizens” Asso¬
ciation. To Richmond’s credit,
enough voters in white districts
supported Mr. Hill to make the
margin of difference . . .
“ ... As a result of this elec¬
tion. which was furiously
fought on various issues, Rich-
mond’s Negro population re¬
a direct voice in city rule.
This may seem to the nation a
small affair, but we think it
breaks important ground- An
advancement won the hard way,
by direct vote on southern ter-
ritory, it is likely to be all the
more solid and lasting. We
wish Richmond’s new govern-
ment well, and hope Mr. Hill
makes a good councilman.”
