The college administration of
Kentucky State threatened to
expel this young man. but Mr.
King’s reply to the facility pres¬
ident was that “.although you
have two doctoral degrees, you
can't buy a ten cent cup of
i coffee in a store in Frankfort,
Kentucky.’’
Mr. King said that the Ne¬

Mr. King deplored the fact
that many white people are do¬

“The,., , ipter-comnjunication

Negfb and his white brother
cortte together they both will j
perish.” The speaker deplored
the fact that materialistic 1

j making a living rather stat-j than
making a life. Mr. King
ed that segregation is wrong
because it implies that God has
nmrie made a n mistnire mistake. In Tn chrid Christ
there is no East nor West. The
young man received 11 a stand->

Mr. Culbertson pointed out
that unless the Negro stands up
for his rights and votes, he will
never obtain full equality in
the South. Voting is the key ,
to the solution, said Mr.
bertson. The people that run
Savannah are concerned how
the Negro is going to vote. The!
people in power want to re-
main power. There people'
also want the Negro to bow
d0W n and scrape. I

‘IRecently, in Greenville, the

of the white collar workers.
They did not raise the salaries
of the Negro garbage workers.
Finally, the Negroes began to
sit down was' on the jobs, and when

council finally increased the
salaries of" the garbage collec- 1
tors. The white people will
look for unity and will deal with
the Negro on the basis of this
unity. If a Negro runs for of-;
fice, all of the whites will im-
mediately unite and run any-;
one whatsoever, in order to;
keep the Negro from being
elected. Therefore, the color¬
ed people should definitely
consider the bloc voting tactics
