What constructive thoughts from the old year have
you put into operation during these past 18 days of the
new year? Don’t let me hear you say you have 347 days
remaining, so why hurry. You never know what may
happen in the next sixty minutes.
Over the holidays I had the honor of attending a
Christmas dinner presented by the Stewardess Board
No. 3 of St. James Methodist Church in Titusville,
Florida. I met a very mature lady in her seventies,
President of the Board, who said something that keeps
ringing in my ears. And I hope it never stops. She said,
“God must have a reason for letting me live this long.
There must be some good he wants me to do. I don’t
know what it is, but I try to do something to help
somebody everyday. Because I never know when he
might call me to his side.”
Now that is Black beauty. Here was a woman who
had experienced more hardships than my mother or I
would ever, and all she can think of doing is good things
to help somebody. That was my thought to end the year
and begin another. I hope we can share the thought.
Just this week we paid tribute to a Black man, who, if
there was ever to be a new Savior, he was it. I am
speaking of Dr. Martin Luther King, truly a Black
Moses. If you are having problems thinking of what you
can do in 1973, just pick up on the philosophy of Dr.
King and carry it out. Make his ideas and dreams come
true, and we won’t need a National Holiday to honor his
name. We will have fulfilled his dream - what better
tribute can there be.

I’M FREE AT LAST”

The Reverend and Mrs.
Mattie Braxton celebrated their
50th weeding anniversary on
Saturday, January 13.
The Braxton’s met in 1920
when he came to Augusta from
New York. At that time he was
employed at the Pilgrim Health
and Life Insurance Company
and she was a school teacher at
Craig Elementary. They were
married in 1923.
Rev. Braxton recalls that
married teachers were forced
out of schools and his wife
took a position as a Jeanes
Supervisor. This forced the
couple to be separated except
on weekends as Mrs. Braxton’s
new job caused her to travel ail
over the state of Georgia. The
Braxton’s bought their first car
Golden Anniversary
REVEREND AND MRS. M.E. BRAXTON
in 1923. Their first new car wasa
1940 Ford and the gears were
shifted by foot.
Mrs. Braxton earned the
Master’s degree from Atlanta
University and joined the Paine
College faculty in 1944. She
did further study at Ohio State
University and New York
University from where she
earned the 6 year Professional
Diploma, and is Associate
Professor Emeritus at Paine
College.
Rev. Braxton entered the
ministry in 1948 and was
ordained in 1953. His first
pastorate was at the Second
Baptist Church in North
Augusta.
He retired as pastor of
Springfield Baptist Church in

Wilkins Terms Blacks
In State Os Seige
By George Vecsey
American Negroes are
under a state of siege launched
by the “executive branch of
the Federal Government,”
according to Roy Wilkins,
executive director for the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People.
Mr. Wilkins made his
statement before nearly 200
delegates to the N.A.A.C.P.’s
annual meeting at the New
York Sheraton Hotel
yesterday. And many of the
association’s state leaders
i seemed to echo the pessimistic
note as they faced a second
term under President Nixon.
“We used to be able to call
Lyndon or John when things
got bad,” said Aaron Henry,
president of the Mississippi
chapter. “But now we’ve lost
the White House and the
Attorney Central. And when
Nixon appoints one more
member to the Supreme Court,
we’ve lost that, too.”
In remarks following his
speech, Mr. Wilkins said his
greatest disappointment in 1972
was the Presidential election.
He labeled Senator George
McGovern “wishy-washy on
the busing issue” and he
accused President Nixon of
fostering polarization between
black and white by telling
white voters they were
“hard-working people” ( and
not implying the blacks were
not).
With membership up by
nearly 22,000 to 412,000 in
197?, and the treasury in good
lai
1970.
Commenting on the secret
of their steadfast marriage,
Rev. Braxton said, “You learn
to give and take. Those things
that she didn’t want, I didn’t
bother with. It’s a matter of
give and take. And we got
along that way. We were able
to manage.
WALKER BAPTIST CHURCH
The Walker Baptist
Association CHOIR will be
presented in concert on
Sunday January 28, 1973 at
the Williams Memorial C.M.E.
Church. The concert will begin
at 8:00 P.M.
The choir consists of more
than 100 voices.
financial shape, the N.A.A.C.P.
will not go into a “holding
action,” Mr. Wilkins insisted,
but would pursue a “cool”
strategy in areas of education,
housing and employment.
However, delegates from the
Deep South said they felt
violence could be the result of
President Nixon’s alleged
policies.
“After they hear Nixon’s
code words, the whites in
Mississippi say they don’t have
the obey the laws any more,”
said Mr. Henry, a long-time
civil-rights activist and
currently the only black state
chairman in the Democratic
Party.
Situation Worse in Deep South
“But it’s worse in the Deep
South than up North,” said the
Rev. Emmet Burns, field
director in Mississippi. “Back
home, it’s a matter of life and
death.”
Mr. Henry said he could see
examples of black being
attracted to more militant
appeals as they felt cut off by
the Administration. He cited
the recent return to this
country of Stokely Carmichael
as possibly attracting angry
followers.
Mr. Wilkins devoted much of
his speech to the claim that the
Government has not fought for
jobs for black workers. In later
remarks, Mr. Wilkins repeated
his opposition to the
appointment of Peter J.
Brennan, president of the State
and City Building and
Construction Trades Council of
New York as Secretary of
Labor.
“Brennan has been a very
real obstacle to the
employment of blacks in the
construction industry,” Mr.
Wilkins said.
The following members were
elected to the Board of
Directors for this year: Dr.
Stephen Gill Spottswood,
Washington; Dr. Charles
Roquemore, Wellington, Kan;
Mrs. Sarah Greene, Louisville,
Ky.; Dr. Claude Hudson, Los
Angeles; Matthew Perry,
Columbia, S.C. Mrs. Irene
Smith, Wenonah, N.J.;
Leonared Woodcock, Detroit,
and the Rev. Emerson J.
Marcee, San Antonio, Texas.
