Convicted, To Continue
RICHMOND, Va. — A caval¬
cade of -300 cars traveled from
Petersburg to Richmond to file
an appfAl from conviction for vi¬
olating %he segregation policy of
the Petersburg Public Library.
Rev. Wyatt Tee W 7 alker, Vir-
ginia state director of CORF
(Congress of Racial Equality) and
Rev. R. G. Walker were sentenced
to 30 days in jail and fined $100.
One student received a 10-day
sentence and a $50 fine. The oth¬
er demonstrators were given $50
fines.
The demonstrators were repre¬
sented in court by Clarence New-
some of Richmond and Len W.
Holt, CORE field secretary and
a Norfolk attorney.
All of those convicted had been
arrested after using the “white”
facilities of the Petersburg Pub-
lic Library. The library allows
Negroes to use the basement only.
On March 1 the City Council
had been petitioned to end segre¬
gation ‘in the library. Instead,
they passed an ordinance increas-
ing the penalties for “trespass”
in a public place to a year in
jail and a $1,000 fine.
On March 7, the group of 11
entered the library and violated
the ordinance. E. J. McLaugh¬
lin, a VirgWW State student, par¬
aphrasing Thoreau, sa'd, “From
the moment the City Council
passed the anti-trespass ordinance,
we were committed to a position of
civil disobedience. Under a gov¬
ernment which imprisons men un¬
justly, the true place for a just
man is prison.
“We did not break the law in
a spirit of malice or defiance.
We broke the law because we
were compelled by conviction and
principle.
“They (the people jailed) are
perhaps the only free people in
the city of Petersburg. They have
a backbone through which you
cannot pass your hand. They were
not; born to he forced.”
Rev. Walker on emerging from
jail said: “This has been a search¬
ing experience for us. We knew
it would he rough. We have no
more stomach for segregation in
jail than we do for segregation
outside of jail.
“It is my sincere hope that peo¬
ple who want their freedom will
understAid that it does not come
without buffering and sacrifice.
“We remained in jail to demon¬
strate how insidious this ordinance
is to the basic freedoms of Amer-
iea.”
Rev. R. G. Williams said, “We
trust that they are aware that
we are not led away from our ul¬
timate freedom by a jail threat
and that going to jail is a mark
of decency and dignity when it
comes as a result of standing for
a just and worthy cause.”

Atlanta Negroes Buy 10,000
Homes, Repay $70 Million
ATLANTA_(ANP)— Negroes
in Atlanta are buying more homes
and better home's than Negroes in
any other southern city accord-
ing to an U rban League study.
Robert A. Thompson, associate
director for the league, said that
one reason for the 'housing pro¬
gress was the sizable portion of
Atlanta’s Negroes who vote.
In a research paper for the
Cornmissiprr on Race an 1 Housing,

Last week, twm “suspicious look- I
"mr Negroes” were seen in Selma j
and word got around they had |
"(imp here to organize Ncgio stu-
dents from Selma university to put
on a sit down demonstration.
Sheriff Clark is especially proud a
“f his mounted deputies. Just to c
discourage the Negro students in y
ase they were thinking of “start-
: ng some trouble,” the mounted
posse, headed by Jim Risher, a
'ocal cattleman, paraded through
lowntown Salem riding four
abreast on prancing steeds.
Sociology at Atlanta University,
reported that Atlanta Negroes had
purchased 10,550 units and are
repaying some $70 million in mort-
gages.
Thompson and Lewis note that
in Birmingham, where Negroes
earn much more than those in
Atlanta and where they comprise
40 per cent of the population and
only 3 per cent of the registered
vote: s Negroes have secured hard¬
ly any housing improvement since
World War II.
