physician-surgeon, who
worked untiringly in a thank-
less position. He deserves the
respect and praise of every
member of the Savannah Ne-
gro community for his
ed services.
Rev. Patterson opened the
meeting by requesting that the
audience sing "Lift Every Voice
and Sing” with Van Buren
Jones, Howard University mu¬
sic student, at the piano. Rev.
Oliver W. Holmes, minister of
the First Congregational
Church, prayed a moving pray¬
er asking God to give success
to the Freedom movement.
"Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing,” one of the old hymns
of the church, was sung.
W. W. Law, the branch pres¬
ident, took the helm of the
meeting at this point and com¬
plimented those present for
their support of the boycott of
downtown stores. He briefly
reviewed significant news
happenings of the week. Speak¬
ing of Fayetteville, Tenn., where
Negroes are being boycotted be¬
cause they only wanted to reg¬
ister and vote, Mr. Law sug¬
gested that we register and vo
in Savannah in large
as an answer to
During the week,
ers and restaurants were °P en *
ed to Negroes in Charlotte, N.
C., and Kansas City, Mo., w0
can open our lunch eountots
here if we continue to stay ofi
Broughton and out of segregat
ed clothing and five and
cents stores. Especially Kress,
Woolworth, Levy s, Grant, H L.
Green and McCrory s. Lane,
imgston and Walgreen drug
stores,” Mr. Law declared.
He reminded his audience
that the Klu Klux Klan is wel¬
comed on Broughton Street and
In the major parks of the city.
As long as we "buy on Brough¬
ton 1 and in the shopping centers,
we buy segregation for our¬
selves, for our children and their
children.”
f iMr. Law 1 presented gentle¬
a
man whose daughter had been
honored as "Miss Beach” but
TUdjien she Vanished the local
Negro high school, she could not
find a job and had to leave the
city to seek employment In
Netf York. She is doing well
as a clerical worker there how.
This same gentleman has a son
that had to go into the Armed
Forces because he could not
find work. The branch presi¬
dent said the local Job Oppor¬
tunity and Human Dignity
campaign s-hould attract every
individual and he urged his
friends and neighbors to stop
shopping in segregated stores.
Early in his remarks Mr. Law
led the singing of the "Freedom”
song and at the close he was
joined by the audience in sing¬
ing "We will over come Some
Day.”
Rev. Patterson said that he
was touched by the song
dom.” “People all over the
world are obtaining their free¬
dom, and yet, there are people
in Savannah who don’t want
freedom, because they continue
to shop on Broughton street.”
Judson Ford, Sr, an active
member of the boycott commit¬
tee. read the traitors list of
those who continue to shop
when asked not to do so.
Rev. L. S. Stell, minister of
Bethlehem Baptist church, men¬
tioned the number of unwedded
mothers and the Negro crime
rate as revealed in a report by
a local court agency, He
that the racial ratio is played
up and that many white crimes
are not reported. Rev. Stell
reported as chairman of the
Transportation Committee that
the Savannah Trailways would
hire a Negro driver so if there
are those who plan a chartered
trip in the near future they
are urged to request a Negro
driver.
Dr. Jordan made the finan¬
cial report from February ’24.
when he took office, to June 30.
The report had been audited by
Earl F. Thornton, local account¬
ant. Dr. Jordan made the re¬
port available for inspection at
the close of the meeting. The
report was unanimously accept¬
ed by the throng present fol-
lowing a mution offered by the
Rev. Curtis J. Jackson, pastor
the First African Baptist
church. i
Rev. J. Reddick, psustor of the
Palen Methodist cnurcn, made
the appoai for financial sup¬
port of the NAACP
James Brown, Jr., a leader in
the local sit-ins, presented the
speaker, Mr. Blake, whom he
characterized as a great Amer¬
ican youth leader,
Mr Blake said that he was
honored to be the speaker of
| hour, for it is always a priv-
jj e g e ^ come t, 0 a city where
j p PO p) e are interested in eain-
j n g w hat is naturally theirs—
! (heir rights. "Are we citizens
0 j sou th?”, the 17 year old
yQuth Mked He answered by |
saying "Without thr Negro,
there would be no South!” The
crowd applauded. "This is a
crucial year because the youth¬
ful Negro is taking a stand. To¬
day we have said that we will
not tolerate discrimination. We
have not wavered in the fifty
years the NAACP has been op¬
erating. (American Negroes
have never burned crosses in
front of their neighbors’
homes,” Mr. Blake declared.
The young leader said that
Southern leaders are saying that
“we want to preserve our South¬
ern tradition” but the youth
of Savannah, Charleston, North
Carolina and all American
youth will not rest until all
Southern traditions arc buried
eight feet in a grave.
“The sit-ins have electrified
the Negro adult community, all 1
except the Uncle Toms and the'
un { Nellies. The Negro youth!
st | rre£ j youth on all the na-!
y on , s cam p U .scs as they have j
inever been stirred before since
p ear [ Harbor,” the dynamic youth I
leader said. "The sit-ins are
s j ttin ,g no j ; on [ y t 0 ask f or f 00 d
but geek human dignity as
^ „
In reference to the Charles-1 wor i d
tuation , thp young
tonlan s;dd bhat hfi th ht
President Truman ..... was a „ great
man but his remarks that the
sit-ins were Communistic in¬
spired were stupid, and that
Mr. Truman was contradicting
himself.
Segregation and discrimlna-1
tjon are doomed, Mr. Blake said.
On April 1st, the sit-ins com¬
menced in Charleston where
the students sat in at Kress
because Woolworth seats were
filled, The students were curs¬
ed by white youth. The man¬
ager opened bird cages, but
this did not deter the students.
The store was closed at 5 p. m.
The local t chief of police tried
to persuade the youngsters to
leave. They were jailed and
they sang “That’s All Right”
and “God Will Take Care of
Chief Kelly.” The police chief
asked them not to sing that
song anymore. The crowd
roared.
At the court trial, he stated
the court room was packed toj
capacity. The judge said that
there had been good relations'
among the races and at this
point Negroes who were not
seated took seats in the white
section. They again gave
great applause. “We will not
stop in Charleston until segre¬
gation is eradicated from the
face of the earth,” Mr. Blake
stated.
Paraphrasing , and making a
parody on the "Lord’s Prayer,”
the young man made an elo¬
quent appeal for human rights
for the American Negro. The
crowd gave Mr. Blake, a young |
minister, an enthusiastic andj
great ovation. Rev. Patterson] do!
said that if the older people
not take the helm, the youth]
will certainly move the adults
aside and go on.
