Negro SharecrOppers

By Morris Gibbs, Sr.
The poor Negro sharecropper,
Who works his farm on shares,
Labors hard, always told he owes
Which keeps him always theirs.
Landowners look for profits big
And he wishes to keep them so,
So he has established a system
By which the sharecropper must
go.
It is a feudalistic system
Right here in America-now
Folks who hear this can't believe
The plight of folks behind the pillow.
Laws there are made against
Negroes
To keep them in their place"
United States Constitution doesn't
mean thing,
Upholds them in this disgrace.
If you protest-woe be unto you,
For a visitation in the night,
By white planters who have no use
For Negroes who think they're
right.
We who live in other sections
Don't know what this means,
But you better help your southern
brother
To overcome these ungodly fiends.
It's not right to know these
conditions
And sit complacently by,
Let things take their natural
course
Because you won't make an cutlery.

March 4, 1871,
Dear Mr.. Newman:

Dear Mr.. Newman:
Editor: Governor Stassen's re-
cent appointment of Messrs. Ray
mond Cannon and Lawrence Tar
yer to obtain factual information
which reflected the attitude of Ne
groeS toward the manner in which
they desired to be indicted into the
Home Defense seems to have
created a great deal of discussion.
So much discussion that the issues
have been obscured and fairness
forced into the background.
First, the part played by Messrs.
Cannon and Tarver has been over
Emphasized. The position which
they have taken has been that of
neutral observer to record facts
as they find them. If the majority
of Negroes want no segregation in
the Home Defense, the unbiased
samples (questionnaires) obtained
at the various meetings will reflect
that opinion. This procedure is in
accord with the scientific approach
to the study of any problem. AL
though the attitude of the Negro
toward any form of segregation is
to most of US obvious, our case be-
comes stronger when popular
opinion is supported by facts.
Secondly, Mr.. Cannon, who has
been the target of most of the dis
cussion, stated in a meeting on
February %, that he was not in
terested in any form of military
service, State or National. He
stated that he had no aspirations
for an appointment. Statements
regarding his ambition are mali
cious and unfounded. Mr.. Cannon's
record of past performance, his
civic contributions over a period of
years, and his local and national
affiliations with organizations that
demand the best that one has to
offer in the way of honesty, honor,
and racial loyalty, is a forceful
testimony to his character.
Thirdly, there has been some
criticism of Governor Stassen for
aking the appointment and
Messrs. Cannon and Tarver for &C
cepting it. why was an appoint
ment necessary when our State
Civil Rights Law answers the ques-
tion?" The writer does not pre-
tend to know the motive of Gov
ernor Stassen; however, in spite
of our Civil Rights Law, a prece-
dent for separate Negro Home De-
tense Units was established during
World War l. The Governor re-
quested information which would
reflect the attitude of Negroes to-
ward the manner of induction into
the Home Defense today Gov
ernor Stassen did not say: "Obtain
information which will show that
Negroes want separate units" Nor
did the QUESTIONABLE prepared by
Mr.. Cannon and Tarver omit the
choice of enlistment along with
other racial groups. In accepting
the appointment, Mr.. Cannon's only
motive in view of his statement, at
the meeting of February %, was
to render a public service. The
findings of Mr.. Cannon and Tarver
will be placed on file. The sue
cessors of Governor Stassen will
not only have the States Civil
Rights Law to guide them, but a
definite stand taken by Negroes on
the problem of segregation. When
the majority of any group takes a
definite stand it is progress.
Very truly yours,
Henry R. Thomas.
