Tragedy In Albany
(An Editorial from The Sylvania Telephone)
Three Negroes were kneeling in a prayerful posture, in front
of the City Hall in Albany. In a circle around them were some
thirty or forty photographers, TV cameramen, and reporters. They
were from all parts of the United States, They were all uttering
the game prayer, and that was, that the Chief of Palice would com
mit some overt act becaues of which they could tell the world in
picture and word the shame of Albany.
Except to get that picture and story, all Georgians know, that
none of the actors set upon the stage, or those there to make the |
record would have been there, How great was the disappointment
of all when the Chief of Police looked upon the scene a moment
and retired to his office. And therein lies the tragedy of a fine
Georgia eoity trying the best it can to keep peace and goodwill
among its citizens while it fights off outside agitators, who arsonist
like, want to light the fires of hatred with no regard for the con
sequences.
How long can the south endure those who come ameng us and
who live and lie before our own Negroes. Fastern agitators, poli
ticians, and the integration press simply do not live at home like
they preach in Georgia and all the world knows it,
In 1956 we were sent by Mayor Willard Lariscy to Athens,
Greece, to represent Sylvania at a conference with Grecian offi
cials, Going over we were privileged to be seated beside a lady
from New Jersey at the dining table. She represented her city. At
every meal, morning, noon and night she continued to needle us
about the way “you peopie down south treat the Negroes.” Finally
with complete loss of patience with her we asked, “Mrs. Sheppard
(what a good Sereven County name) if one of our cotton farmer
Negroes from Georgia would move to your city, buy a home next
door to you and move in, would you and your family accept them
as neighbors.” With a haughty shrug of her shoulders she replied,
“Oh, but a Negro could not buy a home next to me. Neither could
a Jew or Greek. I live in a restricted section and we are going
to keep it that way.” 1 replied to her, “Mrs. Sheppard 1 was born
and reared in Screven County, Georgia. Our closest neighbors were
Negroes. So were the neighbors of most white families, We lived
in peace with them, and move than that we were neighborly. When
they needed us we helpd them. When we needed them they helped
ug, It is still that way today, Since you know nothing of that
kind of relationship, and would not tolerate it, 1 will thank you to
never mention the sitbjeet again, You and your friends do not live
what you preach.” The subject was not mentioned again.
And thergin is the tragedy of poor Albany. The greatest friends
in all the world of the Negroes of Albany are the white peaple of
the city. If they could but know this, peace could be restored.
How long will the Seuth have to endure the agitation of these
people whose lives give the lie to their efforts? ¥ the TV, Radio
and newsmen would withdraw from Albany, so would Luther King
and his mob. Then some good work could be done to restore good
will among neighbars,
