HISTORY REPEATS
There is so much happening in the area
of race relations today that is like what
took place 100 years ago in almost the
same actions and words, that we think
ail people ought to become aware oi it.
’there is one notable difference. He do
not believe differing notions about race
relations will result in secession and war,
One hundred and twenty-five years ago
the Negro and ins status in the American
economy were as vitally lmpureanf eco¬
nomically and politically as now. In some
respects they were more important, ifpr
one thing, me maintenance of the slav^
system was a necessity H the pluatalioii
aristocracy based upon it was to survive,
so that the battle for political mastery
between the opposing sides on the slavery,
question To raged for nearly two hundred
years. protect the slavery system, to
keep it from spreading to new states and
to maintain a balance between slave and
non-slave states were the issues of the bat¬
tle, which later became states' rights and
abolition. It is noteworthy that the ques¬
tion split the nation not only as above and
below the Mason-Dixon line, but as for and
against abolition. There were many aboli¬
tionists in the South and Southern puvvqr
found and created influential ^support ip
the North. Abolitionists in the South suf¬
fered social and political ostracism, and
in the North in many instances they were
victims of violence, f reedom of speech
ami assembly were often, forbidden. Thy
slave power of the South suppressed the
Circulation of tracts and pamphlets set¬
ting forth the cause of liberty lii the
North as well as in the South. 4
What is of challenging interest is that
there were persons in the South, who with
nearly everything to lose had the courage
to be known as abolitionists, it is just
as challenging, perhaps more so, that there
are people to day, with nearly everything
to lose, who in the face of threats by die¬
hard politicians and demagogues, are con¬
strained to speak out for a cause, that is
jdst and right. Because t h e r e are many
people in the south, particularly Negroes,
who do not know that there are
Southern white people who are heroical¬
ly fighting for the cause of equality Vhite and
justice, we wish to list some of the
women of the South, who belong to the
valiant band that has not winced in the
face of the drum fire that has been un¬
loosed on the credulous and uniformed.

Out Racial Bias
WASHINGTON (ANP).- On his
(wth birthday, celebrated at the
White House Monday, President
Eisenhower called upon all Viueri-
cans to “wipe out differences based
on prejudice.”
While Mr. Eisenhower made no
special reference to any specific
group oi any particular area, it
was evident that he was alluding
to the Little Rock school integra¬
tion crisis.
The statement was made in an
informal speech to a group of Re¬
publican Party workers who pre¬
sented the President with a 500-
pound birthday cake, and sang
‘ Happy Birthday to You. The
serenade , was lead by v ice I’rcsi-

THE PLOT UNFOLDS
At least two states have set aside funds
to beutsed to put the South’s point of
view before the nation, which is designed
to include what the South thinks about the
decision of the Supreme Court on segrega¬
tion, what it thinks about desegregation
or integration, what it thinks about the
ordering of federal troops into Little Rock
and a restatement of its position as to
“states’ rights.” This fund comes from
the tax money contributed by all the
citizens of the states, even the humblest.'
it; will be used to assert the right of the
South to deny to Negro citizens the en¬
joyment of full citizenship.
Observant readers will notice that the
program to advertise the South’s way
of life is in, full swing and appears to be
emanating from a single source. As from
a broken record, we are hearing over and
over, “There is no authority in the Con¬
stitution or acts of Congress for the Presi¬
dent to use federal troops to enforce ‘the
law of the case’ and his action in Little
Rock “was in direct defiance of an act
of Congress that carries the signature of
Dwight Eisenhower;” and “that the school
segregation decision of the high court is
only ‘the law of the case’ and not ‘the
law of the Union.” There is other lan¬
guage which smells of the duplicating ma-
chinau The significance of this program
must not lie lost or the liberty loving
people of this country. It is being dinned
in to the ears of civic clubs, church so¬
cieties and other organizations everywhere
and whenever they meet. Negro leaders
must not miss the meaning of this. There
is an intelligent course for them to take
in the light of this program. It seems
to us the situation requires “must ac¬
tion.”

Barbara was scheduled to ap

I orchestra in a concert broadcast
over a statewide network, from
Booker T. Washington High
School. Instead, she received a $50
pi'iZe'.
In commenting on the group
which called itself
neighbor fund-raisers, the Presi-
dent said this was a good program,
BecauSe "oeighh(>i;sto-neighb<ir”j to

made in like ,
man moon, manner
the struggle Negroes that must Ues not ahead, minimize before the |
i
fall lull integration becomes an J
j uceoThplished fact.
The opponents of integration, !
the segregationists, are shrewd j
resou’reeful and are determined to
fight unto the bitter end. The goal j
i we are seeking is not easy, but will j
call for great sacrifice and suffer- j
ing. and we may as Well face this
ugly but bristling fact. One of . the j
major evidences of their resource- |
fulness was the successful at- \
tempt to put emphasis, not on I
white supremacy nor on the sub- i
jugation of the Negro, but on j
states rights. j
;
When the segregationists made I
States rights their battle ground,
they made a major stroke of di- i
plomacy. No decent man would j
campaign on a white supremacy
platform, as was done three gene¬
rations ago. Such candidates
Would be spurned in the eyes of
the world, but to campaign and
argue for states rights lias about I
it a measure of respectability. j !
Not only so, but „„„ lhc states 0vt<lv , 0
rights sentiment takes hold of thc i
North and East and West with j
j peculiar grasp. And so, when the
| segregationists sticceued in getting
whit*' supi’oryar.y, (led in with
I states rights, they made a master
j stroke-that lrtakes the task of in¬
| tegration doubly difficult.
[ But the , segregationists know
that states' rights mean little
I aside from the right to segregate
I Negroes. Divest states rights 0 f !
is making conspicuous efforts to
: raise Negro school levels which in
I | turn win produce an outpouring of
educated Negroes ' that will gain
; theix rights...
“Utilizing the essence of Booker I
I T. Washington's advice that | |
i 'whole' future of the Negro rests
1 largely upon his becoming inval- I
liable to the community in which !
he lives,” the evidence of Negro ;
leaders ill ail fields combined with (
diligence- and lives of high en- |
deavor, will usher in the day of all j
| America matching onward to¬
gether,” he concluded.
Science Dept., as a moderate, for
law and order and aganist rash
and violent acts, Mr. Muse’s sub¬
ject for the evening was "Deseg¬
regation, where do we go from
iuire?”
He emphasized that Negroes
would have to disprove the deep-
seated belief of innate inferiority

Mr. Muse stated that May 17,
1954 was not thc dawn of a new
day. The Supreme Court decision
I was a promise—the sweeping
t away of clouds that veiled the
principles upon which our nation
was founded.
“The aftermath of thc decision
was a disappointment,” he said.
Everyone underestimated the ex¬
plosiveness of race prejudice that
followed. Gallup polls indicate an
increasing number of whites in the
deep south believe segregation
will never end.”
I Virginia Far Behind

1 the irresponsible leadership in Vir-

| A' nphic location and historical
G'ckground should have resulted
in Virginia's setting an example
