put in Shorter Col-
dean, a new business .president, manager, treasur-
he did not ask Arkansas
men; he brought most of them
from Georgia.
"Bishop Green and Bishop
Davis got new presidents. In
fact, both have had two pres¬
idents since 1948. We have
always granted the bishop that
right. lion Why make an excep-
of Bishop Wright, parti-
cularly when he has Just come?
When Bishop Ransom want
ed to move Dr. Gilbert Jones,
the best educated president we
had up to that time, no ont
stopped him; when he wanted
to move Dr. Walker (now bish¬
op) no one stopped him. And
these men had committed no
moral offense. Why ail of a
sudden, stop Bishop Wright?
The people of Georgia cannot
understand it.
Since the Morris Brown board
gave Dr. Fountain his leave,
two bishopss have gotten rid of
two presidents, and nobody in¬
vestigates.
"Everybody who has investi¬
gated our Morris Brown Col¬
lege situation approves of the
board’s action regarding Dr.
Fountain. We cannot under¬
stand w r hy our matter is con¬
tinually aired, when airing it
only humiliates us, and the
whole church.
"There is a great moral is¬
sue at stake, not a technicality
or a political issue and Geor¬
gia has faced it and won the
respect of white and colored
alike. We want the whole
to stand with us. We
believe they our bishops will, now
that know the facts.
"And, dear Bishops, please dd
by us as your district wants
us to do by them. Please,
most reverend fathers in God
let Georgia run Georgia. Wei
promise you, you will never
regret it.
Tlie net results of the coun¬
cil’s action on this hectic fight
in the Cracker state were the
removal of Bishop Wright as
the presiding prelate send¬ over
Georgia to Arkansas, the
ing of Bishop S. L. Green from
Alabama to Georgia and the
removal of Bishop W. A. Foun¬
tain from Arkansas to Ala¬
bama.
The sending of Bishop Green
to the Georgia diocese is viewed
by many as a favorable sign
for the restoration of Dr.
Fountain, Jr., to the presidency
of Morris Brown College as
Bishop Green is said to be one
of the ardent supporters of the
Fountain forces in the Georgia
feud.
It is said that the removal of
Bishop Wright from Georgia
came as a direct result of his
acting contrary to the orders
of the Bishop’s Council not to
remove Dr. Fountain from the
presidency of Morris Brown
College. Dr. Fountain was re¬
lieved of the presidency of the
college in a surprise action last
December.
The Council’s vote on the
transfer of Bishop Wright was
15 to 1.
In a news release of a plea
to the council to allow Geor¬
gia to run its own affairs, a
committee of prominent Geor¬
gia AME leaders told the coun¬
cil in part, after discussing
the shortage found at Morris
Brown College under the Foun¬
tain administration:
“We in Georgia know our
situation. We know that Geor¬
gia does not want President
Fountain any longer.
"When Bishop Fountain tried
to put Georgia under a char
ter, we voted it .down after he
had plead with us to adopt it, |
for v/e know Georgia didn't/]
want it. |
“Georgia does not appreciate (
the /way Bishop Fountain is i
now interfering with our work'
work; we believe he ought to
go to his work and let us alone.
We were loyal to him when hd,
was our bishop. We are now
loyal to Bishop Wright.
‘.'Other bishops, got the pres¬
idents they wanted. Why not
Bishop Wright? When Bish¬
op Fountain came to Georgia
he put President Lewis out.
There was no charge against
Dr. Lewis. We did not ever
pay Dr. Lewis what we owed
him.
"When Bishop Fountain went
to Arkansas he • replaced Dr.
S. S. Morris, Jr., a well trained
man against whom there was
no charge. Indeed, Bishop
