MISSISSIPPI BLACKS
DRAW LINE ON WHITE
INSURANCE COMPANY

VICKSBURG, Miss, June 24.-Re-
cause of the lynching at Vicksburg Of
colored man, by white citizens of
this city and county. thousands of Ne
groes are leaving Mississippi, and
many prominent families are selling
their homes at great sacrifice, and
the most interesting feature of the
exodus on this occasion is that the
people are not going to northern or
eastern sections, but they are going
to other States in the South, where
they are given better protection at
the hands of the law. Business own
ed and controlled by white people are
suffering more from this incident
than any other lynching or cruelty
practiced on colored people during
ly as it regards Mississippi's whole
sale lynching.
A white insurance company al

hat a white insurance collector was
in the mob, and during the excite

NEW AWAKENING FOR
JUSTICE IN BEHALF OF .
BLACK AMERICANS
(By Associated Negro Press)

Chicago, June 23.-A careful sur
vey, covering the entire nation, has
disclosed to the Associated Negro
Press the fact that there is a new
awakening for justice in behalf of the
people of our racial group.
In speaking of this change of senti-
ment, the outrages of various sorts are
not overlooked 1t is fact, however.
that there has been more written and
spoken truth, in the last six months
relative to the injustices heaped upon
us, than has ever pe-ore occurred
since slavery was abolished.
The expression quoted herewith
from the Pittsburgh Chronicle is typl-
cal rather than exceptional, so far as
the newspapers are concerned. Fol
some reason, the editorial writer's seem
to have Struck their gait" on the
subject of fair play, and are going
at the hypocracies in a fashion that
should bring good cheer to any people
Speaking with reference to the
denial of rights, in the light of the
conspicuous attitude Of the Peace
Conference, the Chronicle says:
"These American citizens are not
merely denied their political rights
they are denied that protection OF
lire without distinction based on
race, color or previous condition" 10
which they are entitled by ordinary
considerations of humanity, as well
as by specific provision in the Con
stitution of the United States. IN
the humiliating fact that the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendment tc
the Federal Constitution are virtually
dead letters. They have heard that
the proposed League of Nations is tc
insure justice to all the peoples OF
the earth, and they want their share
Our Negro citizens are not to be
blamed for their appeal to what they
suppose to be an all-powerful, super
reference to their own particular
problems and injustices. But how hu
initiating it must be to our delegate;
at Paris to hear a body of their fel
low citizens appealing to the League
OF Nations for relief from cruelty and
oppression. They can scarcely escape
the conviction that reform, like char
ity, should begin at home and that q
splendid start could be made by safe
guarding the life and liberties Of our
host of Negro citizens of the southern
states"

Raleigh, N. c., June 23.-Dr. Roberr
R. Motion, of Tuskegee Institute, Is
organizing the Race in the South into
an association which pledges itself to
work on Saturday afternoons as or
other days. In 1918 the Race in Ala

use Saturday afternoon as a holiday
Three hundred thousand men of the
Race are organized by pledge to work

Dr. Motion declared in an address
here that much of the crime of the
Race, rs per cent of it, is due to the

small squad of police was rushed
out, but failed to connect with the
gangsters. Knives, razors, billiard
cues, clubs and several revolvers were
picked up along the trail taken by
the whites.
Yesterdays developments convinced
police, city officials and others who
have studied the racial problem that
Chicago must deal with one of the
most difficult situations in its history
The actual conflicts between whites
and negroes come, it is pointed out,
as to be expected climaxes to the
series of bomb outrages perpetrated
on the South Side in the last few
months.
None of those who yesterday dis
cussed the matter believed any policy
of Negro residence segregation would
offer solution.
julius Rosenwald, who has given
much time and money toward the de-
velopment of the Negro people, said:
This racial problem in Chicago has
been left too long awaiting solution.
The newspapers can perform a big
service by bringing the public to Il
realization of the seriousness of the
problem.

is too big to be solved with an off
hand word. 1t is our duty to begin
studying it at once, for the situation
is critical.
"Of one thing l fell certain.-any
policy of attempted segregation is out
of the question"
Our own leaders are inclined to
blame the rough element among the
recent immigrants from the South
for the increasing evidences of fric-
tion as we'll as the tough whites who
are encouraged by the sensational
daily newspapers. Movements are on
foot among leading white and colored
organizations to get together in an
effort to cope with the situation.
