we must have. The fight will con-
t'nue as long as you that are
1 hero continue to follow us. We
must not surrender to bigotry,”
Mr. Law said. “The boycott will
continue until we find Negro men
and women serving as clerks and
managers in these stores,” the
militant NAACP president stated.
He also related that last week
'the attorney’s appeal for the sit-
ins failed even to appear in the
newspapers. “Our attorneys will
file an explosive bombshell against
the anti-nicketing ordinance,” Mr.
I aw indicated. The distinguished
leader ended his talk by raising
the song, “I Am on My Way to
Canaan Land.”
Jesse Kcarse, a Savannah State
College student, sang the favorite
Thomas Dorsey hymn, “Take my
Hand Precious Lord.” Mrs. Ethel
Luton told of the efforts to tele¬
phone persons to seek co-operation
in withholding patronage from
Broughton Street. Mrs 1 Lutcn
.
said that she is disturbed by per¬
sons who phone and inquire, “How
long will it last?”.—“I don’t know,
but how long have you been dis¬
criminated against?” she retorted.
The huge throng gave a thunder¬
ous applause. Mrs. Luten de¬
plored those leading citizens who
continue to shop on Broughton
Street and called the names of
tbaiters who continue to shop. “If
, ya.u don’t wish to have your name
implied, stay off Broughton Street,”
Mrs. Luten said. Mrs. Esther
CarrDon t the secretary of the
NAACP branch, gave a pep talk
which stressed the importance of
un'ty and race pride.
Dr. John S. Bryan, minister of
the host church, made the appeal
for funds. St. Phillip Monumen¬
tal AME Church made a donation
of $“5.00. Several individuals
made generous contributions. The
Rev. Curtis Jackson, chairman of
the NAACP Education Committee,
introduced the main speaker.
The featured speaker was James
Farmer of New York city, the di¬
rector of program and activities
for the NAACP. Mr. Farmer
stated at the outset that he was
both thrilled and sad; “thrilled
-because of the success of the boy¬
cott and saddened when the names
of those who HAD to buy were
read.” “This struggle is a world¬
wide struggle for freedom — in
Africa and all over the world,”
Mr. Farmer said. While speaking
in Fast Africa, the speaker said
that he was amazed that the Af¬
ricans knew what Little Rock
meant.
Mr. Farmer said that he had
heard Georgia officials claim that
“our colored people are satisfied.
That statement is a lie, because
you have shown here in Savannah
that you are not satisfied,” Mr.
Farmer said.
A dynamic speaker, NAACP of¬
ficial Farmer received a great ova¬
tion from the audience for his elo¬
quent plea for freedom.
Mr. Farmer told a parable of
two dogs one who accepted the
hack door and a collie who refused
to accept the back door. “As a
people we have some who need to
be like the collie,” Mr. Farmer
stated.
“February 1, 1900, in Greens¬
boro and March 16 in Savannah
will be historic days in American
history, for the Negro has given
notice that he is tired of seg¬
regation,” the speaker said. Mr.
Farmer praised the courage of

white man can not intimidate
who are fearless. “When the

have a right to disobey it.”.
wtnus Of Thoreau were quoted
Mr. Farmer as adequately
acterizing the Savannah
ment.
“We have to judge all
in terms of their relation to
movement. Ail of our
are not white. Judge our
bors by how they participate
this fight for freedom,” the
tinguished speaker admonished
audience. Mr. Farmer also
picted the movement as a war

to Broughtou Street is turning
fire hoses on cur youngsters

the speaker said.
“The Negro market is now
billion dollars and anybody
spends that much money has
right to expect dignity,” Mr.
mer stated. The NAACP
went on to say that the
ment is giving dignity to the
gro as a people. This is a
wide movement. At least 200
riety stores have integrated
lunch counters. The speaker

I once read a story of a man
who found five dollars on a bus
in which he was riding to work.
Instead of continuing to his
work he decided to ride buses
that day instead of working,
with the hope that he would
find other five dollars to match
the one that he had found.
When his five dollars was used
up he returned home only with
the experience.
There are many persons to¬
day who insist on “short cut”
methods to success. The gen¬
tleman in question is a leading
figure of such persons. “Short
cuts” to success are not reliabla
even If they pay at times; in
the long run, they are not
helpful. To use them at all
Is to misuse values. They will
sooner or later, give their harm¬
ful results.
People should expect to pay
their way. That which is re¬
ceived without a corresponding
responsibility should give to
the recipients a sense of hu¬
mility and a sense of obliga¬
tion. Many times our over eag¬
erness to get on the receiving
end blinds us to our many ob¬
ligations. This is even reflect¬
ed in many of our prayers to
the Lord:
“Lord you be a mother for tha
motherless."
“Lord, you help the poor and
the needy.”
“Lord, you be bread in a starv¬
ing land.”
We use many prayers such as
these to urge the Lord to do
that which we ourselves should
have already done.
We are told that one half of
the population of the world go
to bed hungry every night. It
is not because of a food short¬
age in the world. As a mat¬
ter of fact there is more fooi
In the world today, thanks te
modern agricultural skill. We
must become aware of the place
where the plus element Is. It
Is not in “luck” but In a qual¬
ity of life by which one is guid¬
