TAC.I BO ITT Charleston Youth Speaks ■ Continued ' om r**r on»» 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. The next meeting will be held! at the Butler Presbyterian Church, Sunday.
