Patrolling The
Main Stem
By BRICK MASON
BOYCOTT: Organized boycotts
of merchants and manufacturers
by Negroes have gained national
prominence in the past few years.
Their effectiveness in curbing
discriminatory practices have had
varying results in different com-
munities in customer relations, hir
ing practices and other services.
The current concern of merchants
however is leaning toward the un
organized variety of boycott. Re
cent market research shows that
in many areas automatic Negro
boycotts have affected merchants
far more than the organized var
iety. The individual boycott by
Negroes as in effect all over the
country.. A recent report states
“many of these stores are not even
aware that they have incurred poor
relations among the Negro com
munity. The automatic boycott is
known to occur most frequently in
stores where Negroes are not em
ployed, or where customer rela-
tions vary among Negro and non-
Negro partrons. There is also a
sharp lookout for shoddy merchan-
dise dumped into stores in Negro
communities. The presence of the
boycott is credited to the keen
awareness of discriminatory prac
tices that have become a part of
the Negro’s civic education in the
past several years.
