Rights For Negro
Urged By Arnall
LOUISVILLE, Ky—Gov. Ellis
Arnall of Georgia said here eco¬
nomic equality for the Negro is
a right which should not be de¬
nied him and is much more im¬
portant than social equality.
“What the hell difference does
it make- if you sit down and eat
with Negroes, visit with them in
their homes, talk with them,” he
asked. “That just means that
they have something to eat, that
they have a home, that they
have had enough education to
carry on a conversation.
“The important thing for the
Negroes is not social equality but
economic equality—the right to
work and earn a decent living
so that he will have enough to
cat, a good home and a good
education.”
The governor insisted he did
not favor “breaking down any of
the customs set up in the South”
but did believe that equal eco¬
nomic opportunities for the Ne¬
gro in Georgia would be necess¬
ary to assure the well-being of
the state as a whole__The Chat¬
tanooga Times.
