following with greater interest
the progress of a public school
suit, a sit-in suit, a case in which
the State pits itself against a
citizen claiming his rights or
against the federal government
claiming its authority to protect
those rights. And not everyone
will agree with those who con
sider it foolish or subversive to
protest against segregated seat
ing in the halls of justice them
selves . . .

(continued from page 1)
only to have their request for the
children’s release refused again.
They were finally set free at 11
o’clock the following morning,
Aug. 17.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
SCLC President, forwarded tele
grams to the Attorney General of
the United States, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and the
National Office of Greyhound
Lines, Inc., following a conference
with Rev. Shuttlesworth, asking
for a full-scale investigation of
the incident. Describing the inci
dent as a “flagrant abuse of the
civil liberties of these children,”
Rev. Shuttlesworth declared that
“we intend to push it all the way.”
Rev. Walker declined to say
whether his letters to Roy Wilkins
of the NAACP and to the national
office of CORE recommended a
national boycott against the Grey-
parent, as tax-payer —the At
lanta Negro is finding once again
as autumn approaches that he is
of some significance as a voter.
With county and state office-seek
ers trying to put that best foot
forward without at the same time
jamming it between their teeth,
and with Democrats and Repub
licans figuring Georgia into their
national plans, the voters of this
community are getting some first
hand opportunities to see, hear
and, to some degree, question the
many ‘friends’ appearing in their
midst. If registration drives are
to pay off, few things can be
more important than taking ad
vantage of the opportunities pro
vided by the Atlanta Negro Voters
League, the Westside Voters
League, the major parties and
others seeking to help us discover
how best to use our votes. And if,
in the process, the voter must
struggle to track down the candi
date’s true intentions through a
jungle of oratory and counter
charges, in the long run it is
probably worth it . . .
In the House of the Lord
This fall will certainly see the
Atlanta-born “kneel-ins” continue
to spread to other cities and other
sections. Along with the church
socials, the choir concerts, the
comforting sermons, ministers
and congregations of Southern
churches (and many Northern
churches) will be forced to ask
themselves whether each of these
churches really deserves to be
called the House of God. Or
whether basically not very much
different from the average secular
club controlled by certain preju
dices and internal money-power
pressures . . .
And meanwhile . . .
Meanwhile, of course, the World
Series, the football season, the fall
parties and dances, the bustle of
normal school, church and club
activity will move into high gear
as they do every autumn. The
w’orld and national scene will
claim their usual share of atten
tion. For some, even in the South,
the fall of ’6O will appear little
different from any other fall. But
it is our feeling that here in At
lanta at least it will be just a
little harder to hibernate than
ever before.

prominent figures who do not act;
this will be a working committee,”
Rev. McEwen declared. Noting
that the group will not limit its
activities to the Hughes Spalding
situation, the chairman indicated
that “At present white physicians
have the run of all hospitals
where Negroes are treated, but
Negro physicians must care for
their patients under restrictions
which affect the size of their
practices.”
Referring to the facilities at
Gracewood. Rev. McEwen stated
that Gracewood “cares for prac
tically no Negro children at all,
and commented further that re
habilitation services and facilities
for Negro TB patients are “prac
tically nil.” In all of these areas,
however, he indicated, federal
funds to do the job are available,
if citizens will work together to
seek them out.

you?” When this query brought
only laughter, Mrs. Johnson said,
“I think I have a right to know.
I pay rent and taxes and I think
I have a right to know.”
One of the men replied, “We’re
waiting on a fellow to come heme.
We’re going to lock him up.”
Mrs. Johnson noticed that the
driver was wearing a bolstered
gun. All the men were dressed
in khaki pants and sport shirts.
Mrs. Ward then called the police
and was informed that the de
partment had no car with that
license number. The white men’s
car, bearing a DeKalb county li
cense plate, drove off at about
11:20, Mrs. King reported.
When the city police arrived
approximately 20 minutes later
they suggested that the men had
probably been state officers look
ing for liquor.
Another incident of harrassment
which occurred on last Sunday
night was also related by Mrs.
King. She was awakened by noises
at her door at 4 A.M. “It sounded
as though someone was trying to
push the door in,” she said. The
door was locked and after a while,
the noises stopped. Mrs. King was
alone with her daughter Kimberly,
who is one year old. “I was afraid
they might try to get in if they
knew I was at home and alone,”
she said.
Mrs. King is a graduate of
Howard High school and is pres
ently a student at Spelman Col
lege.
hound Lines but indicated that if
the facts warranted it such an
action would be almost a cer
tainty. He quoted H. Vance Green
slit, President of Southeastern
Greyhound Lines, Inc., as having
said in a telephone conversation
with the Atlanta office of SCLC,
“It is not the policy of Greyhound
Lines to interfere with the seat
ing of interstate passengers. This
policy is rigidly enforced. The in
cident involving the arrest of
three minor children at Gadsden,
Alabama, while passengers on one
of our buses is being investi
gated. A full report will be made
as soon as possible.”
“We hope that we will be able
to resolve this amicably with
Greyhound and the other parties
concerned,” Rev. Walker said.
“However, we shall do what we
have to do to thwart any future
incident on any common carrier
to any single person in this na
tion.”
In a statement to SCLC here in
Atlanta. Rev. Shuttlesworth said.
“The safety of my children is not
my only concern. People must
feel free to travel without fear
that while exercising their legal
and constitutional rights they will
be treated like common criminals
and abused by police. This prac
tice must stop if America is to
really be the ‘land of the free’
we so loudly shout to the world.”
Rev. Walker informed the In
quirer that Attorney Len Holt of
Norfolk, Virginia, who has played
a strategic role in desegregating
the restaurants of the Trailways
Bus Line in six states, has been
contacted in connection with the
Shuttlesworths’ case.
