THE NEGRO AND THE DESTINY
OF DEMOCRACY
On March 17, is 7. in New York City,
John B. Russwiinn cranked his old hand
press and turned put the first issue of
‘‘Freedom’.' J ■!.” the first Negro
newspaper to h ■ j uhli. lied in the United
States.
In it app 1 i 1 the following editorial
comment: "Tin t tvil rights of a people
being oi th< i \alne, it shall ever be
our duty to \bmiYato our brethren, when
oppressed , i the ease before the
public. In the writ o! candor and humil¬
ity we intend \ simple presentation of
facts, to I**\ (mu ease before the public,
with a vi'-v .*.,•• rating the progress of
prejudice and L> -I'ield ourselves against
the consequence of evils. We wish to con¬
ciliate all and to irritate none, yet we
must be firm and ini’, a wring in our prin¬
ciple and i * r ei ,iTin • in our efforts.”
Like atl i.ivat -dulements of truth, these
penetrating v -■> d-. i.f John I!. Uusswurm
are timdes x Th<\ aw as true today as
when they were written 120 years ago.
John B. Russwurm could not foresee that
a Civil War weald lie fought to free men’s
bodies. He could not predict that ninety
years latei the druggie would be continu¬
ing in an effort to free men’s souls.
But he could and did see that prejudice
given priority over principle could lead to
naught but chan and evil and that no
quarter could be given.
At a time when Ihe forces of prejudice
and hate are gathering their forces
throughout many states in t he South,
even greater vigilance and perserverance
must he found if the inevitable chaos of
Such a course i to be averted.
. The issues are simple. Are we, or are
we not, a nation governed by law? Is that
law applicable to some men or all men?
Does, or does not, the fact of United
States citizen hip imply certain inherent
dignities, securities and equalities? Does,
or does not. democracy as a way of life
deserve to survive?
WHAT NEXT?
Reactionaries have moved from one re¬
doubt to another jo maintain segregation,
to maintain the South's way of life that
is dedicated to "keeping the Negro in his
place, ' out of all places and activities
where they may come into close contact
with white pepole.” in civic, political, edu¬
cational, recreational —- in semi-public
places, on'hire.' and railroads: dedicated
to keeping them put of the stream of
American life, to keeping them shunted
to a parallel evi dence, an abortive sort of
thing in a democratic society. They have
become panicky, hysterical and desperate.
Senator pr ho* •.n<I local political lead¬
ers have he* o’Ui rabbli* rousers and dema¬
gogues who hove threatened to liquidate
anyone who atlvi-u patience and calm. In
some respect* we have a very small seg¬
ment of Negro* which is a counterpart,
inclined to imentiehee.
We ha\* ,dl v advised patience and

United States Congress issuing a mani¬
festo which aims to reverse the 1954 and
1955 decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court,
the result of which will be to permit the
South to continue its discriminatory and
repressive practices toward Negro citi¬
zens.
Negroes in the main are patient. They
have to lie. But they want to be first-
class citizens. They still look to their
friends to maintain their patience, both
with them and with die-hard reaction¬
aries as well, while all of us watch to
see what will come next, after the effec¬
tiveness of the manifesto has been tried.
LESSONS FROM MONTGOMERY
For thirteen weeks now the Montgom¬
ery boycott has been kept up with almost
100 per cent unanimity. The incident giv¬
ing rise to it is well-known throughout
the world. Rare and superb leadership,
and followership, too, have marked the
movement from the very beginning. Few
people in Ihe South believed that such a
thing could have happened in the South.
It has taken everybody by surprise. Rab¬
ble rousers and demagogues began at
once to holler about “tension, hatred, bit¬
terness and disturbance of the peace, and
harmony in which whites and Negroes
have lived,” because Montgomery Negroes
employed a good American technique to
make known their grievances against the
bus company. When intimidation of the
nuisance variety failed to make them get
back on the buses and desist from their
boycott, the mayor threatened to join
the White Citizens Council and lawyers
dug up an old law that presumably can
accomplish that end. world
Besides giving Montgomery a
prftfnim'iK'o j( has never had before, the
boycott, or protest and crusade as the Ne¬
groes perfer to call it, lias in it many im¬
portant lessons that the bus company, the
city and Negroes themselves cun learn
with profit. It has taught, among other
things, that Negroes have the capacity
for wise and honest leadership: that their
preachers can do their people a real serv¬
ice in other areas than their immediate
or denoininational church needs; that
their people will respond with untaltering
loyalty to them. I’erhaps the most out¬
standing feature of the movement is the
well-observed aim and determination to
refrain from violence or disorder. The
affair has set an example for Negroes
everywhere: the Value of concerted action
under intelligent and disinterested lead¬
ership, and the importance of following
sane leaders.
We salute the Negro ministers of
Montgomery, Alabama, who themselves
got together to select leadership from
among themselves, which they followed.
They have set an example that minis¬
ters elsewhere can emulate whenever con¬
certed action is indicated. We think of a
project that needs their leadership all
over the South now: the drive for the
registration of all eligible voters in every
state. We salute the ministers of Mont¬
gomery.
TIIE GEORGIA VOTERS’ LEAGUE
The Georgia Voters’ League met in tho
city of Macon last Saturday to further its
plans for the registration of 200,000 Ne¬
gro voters in this state. I his is not the
total voting potential of Ihe Negro citi¬
zens of Georgia. There are about 662.000
of them who are eligible to become voters.
That only approximately one-fourth of
this number lias been interested enough
to qualify as citizens to this extent, re¬
flects a lack of appreciation of a valu¬
able instrument they can possess and can
employ to solve some ot the problems
which''confront and vex them. There may
be still a few counties which interpose
barriers of one sort or another to their
registration, but in the main there is no
reason why more than 200,000 Negroes
should not become registered in Georgia.
This is true of every county, practically.
It is true of Ghalham County. There is
no reason why we should not have at
least 15.000 Negroes who are prepared to
vote and will vote in every election. The
elections to come this year are of very
great importance to us. \\ hat happens in
these elections and what Negroes do with
their ballot will have a lot to do with the
welfare of all people in this community;
housing, recreation, employment oppor¬
tunities and increased representation of
Negroes in the political life of the city.
If we can take a leaf out of the Montgom¬
ery experience and get our ministers to
take the part they can in developing civic
and political responsibility in our Negro
citizens, the whole community will bene¬
fit. We challenge them to do it.

j T,1c two
I to P Negro farmers in
Georgia have a lot in common.
I both started near the bottom of
'the agricultural ladder—Wilson as 1
a sharecropper and Hunter as a
tenant—and both now own their
own farms. Both are engaged in
general fanning with cotton, corn,
peanuts, beef cattle and hogs as
their principal crops. In fact, they
hoth give such diversification a
lot of credit for their success.
\\ ilson, who owns and operates
a 488-acre farm in Bulloch Coun¬
ty. says that diversification, fol-
lowing the recommendations of his
county agent, and using sound oco-
nomic principles are the three rules
ot good farm management,

Wilson says he WO uld first get his
own land and then seek and fol-
low the advice of his county agent,

other professional agricultural
workers to make it produce with
maximum efficiency.
Hunter, who farms 737 acres in
Early County, says he hopes his
j children will grow up to become
