ANOTHER TRAGIC ERA?
For nearly a century the name of
Thaddeus Stevens has been the object
of supreme contempt on the part of
all Southern white men and women.
Generation after generation has kept
alive the memories of that tyrant of
the Reconstruction era so that their
children might not forget the indigni
ties and hardships heaped upon the
people of one section of these United
States—the Southland—and the heroic
fight their forefathers made to pre
serve states rights. ‘
But, last week our people, - seemed
to suddenly forget the name of Stev
ens. Almost unconsciously the name
of another crowded out the memories
of Stevens, and strangely enough, it
was that of Dwight D, Eisenhower, who,
shedding his role as president of ALL
the people and reverting to his best
known role (and one more suited to
his talents), that of GENERAL of the
army, ordered his toughened airborne
troops to invade the sovereign and
Southern state of Arkansas. Thus, in
the brief period of one day—Septem
ber 24, 1957 (a day which shall live
in infamy)—this government of the
people, by the people, for the people,
became a military dictatorship with a
few white politicians more interest
ed in votes than in the welfare of their
country and the mixed breeds in the
NAACP apparently serving as mem
bers of the inner council,
The invasion was successfully staged
since the army met an unarmed ene
my and soon the forces of General
Eisenhower had “taken” Central high
school in Little Rock and fully-armed
soldiers have since been daily escort
ing nine Negro children into that pre
viously all-white school, even from
classroom to classroom-—this at a cost
of some SIOO,OOO a day which citizens
of the city of Little Rock must help
to pay. |
All this in the face of the fact that
some of the nation’s finest legal talent
give it as their opinion that there
is no law on the statute books
of this nation giving a president the‘
power to order federal troops into a
sovereign state under such a flimsy
pretext unless requested to do so b)"
the governor of that state. Furthel"
darkening an already black situation‘
is the fact that the invasion of
Arkansas was under the orders ofj
the man who some sixty days ago
during the recent civil rights dobuto;
stated that he could conceive of noi
set of circumstances which would cause |
him to send troops into a sovorcign!
state to force integration of thc!‘
schools. (Make your own comment here,
News readers, this writer doesn't know
how to do so in language temperate
enough to permit passage of the paper
through the mails.) l
Now, the second Reconstruction has
begun. Today it is in Arkansas. Tu-]
morrow, who knows where? |
And, hard as it may be for men and
women of Anglo-Saxon stock to believe,
there are some renegade whites who
would betray their own race and sell
théir very souls to curry favor with
those in power, and who now may be
expected to give assistance to those
who would impose the might of the‘
mailed fist. |
The blame for whatever events may |
now follow in the days, weeks, months,
and even years ahead, however tragic!
some of them may be, must be laid
squaurely upon those who gave birth
to and executed the plan for sending‘
federal troops into the sovereign state
of Arkansas on Tuesday, September 24, |
