‘Opportunity And Obligation’
By STEVEN R. SMITH
History Department, LaGrange
College
The heritage of the South has
created conditions which give
this area a rare opportunity to
build a truly multiracial society.
As James Mcßride Dabbs, a
gentleman of the Old South live
ing in the New South, has said,
‘‘The South is a pilot plant, set
up under fortunate -circume
stances, where the white and
colored races can learn how to
settle the frontier that now dive
ides them. Here, more easily
than anywhere else, the job can
be successfully done,”
The South may be a land with
a unique opportunity, but, gen=
erally speaking Southerners are
not enthusiastically taking ade-

S
vantage of it. This faiiure is
all the more tragic because it
is a rejection of the obligation
of the South. This obligation
. is a part of the agony of being
. a Southerner, The past has
created more than an opport=-
, unity; it has also imposed 2n
. obligation. .
. The obligation of the South to
. create a harmonious, multi-rac=
- ial society is many sided. There
. is the obligation to atone for the
| sins of the past, to substitute
, justice for injustice, reason for
. passion, love for hate. South
» erners are more sensitive than
, most people to what has gone
on in the past.
1 Southerners may become de=
, fensive about the past and re=-
, ject any change; this has been
~ the common pattern in the past.
—— SRy

Or they may become indignant
and determined to correct old
mistakes.
It always is agonizing to real=
ize the wrong that the culture
has imposed, and it is more
agonizing for Southerners who
idealize the past.
Then there is the Christian
obligation of brotherly love, The
South has always been deeply
religious and has tried, in some
ways at least, to createa Christ=
ian society. But Christianity
can never thrive where there is
fear and prejudice; the brother=
hood of man cannot be establish=
ed where walls are built to sep=
arate people because of color.
Southerners must do more than
preach the Bible, they must make
a more honest effort to learn
to live according to its princip
les.
But there also is a special
obligation to prove that the Sou=
thern heritage has some mean=-
ing other than superficial polite=
ness while disobeying the law
of the land and the law of God==
if the South’s good qualities are
to be used only as a disguise
for its bad qualities, then the
heritage means little, South=-
erners should either use the
past to build a better future
or forget the past.
If the Southern heritage can
inculcate a sensitiveness to the
human spirit, it can have real
meaning and value in the highly
industrialized society today, for
industrialism tends to create an
impersonal world.

If the past, or that part of it
which is good, can be used to
take advantage of the opportunity
to build a true multiracial soci=
ety, then Southerners will have
fulfilled the obligation.
Mindful of the opportunity that
the past affords them and of
the obligation that it imposes
upon them, Southerners should
go forth to lead the land they
love.

It's child's play, I've heard Mommy say,
To shop the Yellow Pages way.
So this must be a book for me —
| 'think I'll take a peek and see.
| guess she's right — but, gee, it looks
So different from my picture books;
For, unless I'm a very mixed-up fellow,
EVERYTHING'S THERE IN BLACK AND YELLOW.
Could this be where she got my name from?
(I wonder if it's where | came from?)
She says it has everything | need —
It's a crying shame that | can't read.
