Says Fascism Fights
AGAINST Unusual Odds

Negro in South America
Discussing the truly enormous
and significant contributions of
Negroes in Latin America he de-
clared that Latin America is the
one region in the Western Hemis-
phere, perhaps in the world, where,
in the words of DR.. Lewis Hanke,
the door is still open for further
fusion Of races and cultures
He pointed out that nowhere
is this more evident than in
Brazil
Perhaps even more important
than the achievements Of indi-
vidual Brazilian Negroes Dr.
Logan stated. shas been the in
tcgration of Negroes into the social
life of the country"
The speaker described Brazilians
as "a cosmic race in which the
European, the Indian and the Me-
gro have been so blended that a
new people unlike any other on the
face Of the globe, has been created
and is still in process of fusion.
In spite Of the assertions that
mixed races are inferior" DR. Lo-
gan declared. Brazil, the most
thoroughly mixed nation in all
Latin America, has been the most
stable and in many respects the
most progressive.

Hibbitts was on the witness stand
during the hearings, Monday and
Tuesday, February % and ID, in
the u. S. District Court of Ten
nessee on the suit against the
board of education for equalization
of teachers salaries. He said the
supply Of Negro teachers was SO
large that lower salaries could be
paid to them. He also admitted
that there is larger percentage OF
Negro teachers with college de-
grees in the schools Of Nashville,
than of whites.
Thurgood Marshall, NAACP
special counsel, who, with z Alex
ander LOBBY of this city, represent
ed the plaintiff at the hearing, re-
ported that attorneys for the board
of education admitted that salaries
paid colored teachers are lower
than those paid to whites. The
board contenoed that the differen-
tial is based not on race, but on
economics.

White Teachers
Hit Equal Pay

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. =
(SNS) - White teachers here are
attempting to block action to equal
ize teachers salaries here, the
NAACP announced this week.
A brief in support of motion to
dismiss the suit for equalization has
been filed in the u. S. District
Court of Florida on behalf of the
Florida Education Association. The
white teachers maintain that the
complaint of the colored teachers is
not sufficient to support a class ac-
ton.
Charles Stebbins, local teacher, is
issuing the Board of Public Instruc-
ton of Palm Beach County to bring
salaries paid to Negro teachers in
to parity with those for whites.

that Russworm ana the Rev. Sam
uel e. Cornish, two free New York
Negroes, in their paper, the Free
dom's journal, actually set the pat
tern for the abolitionist movement
that was to later result in emanci-
patton.
The Journal, not only was respon-
sible for converting many leading
white people, including She great
Horace Greeley to the abolitionist
cause, but it started trend of 9TH
er Negroes toward the journalistic
field.
Even in that era, Negro newspa-
pers were marked by militancy and
never hesitated to accept the chal-
1enge to crusade. Frederick Doug
lass North Star. started in 1857,
stated its detectives thusly:
s'The object of the North Star will
be to attack slavery in all of its
forces and aspects: advocate uni
versal emancipation; exact tn
standard of public morality; pro
mote the moral and intellectutl i'm
provement of colored people; and
to hasten the day of freedom to
over three million ensiaved coun-
tryunen."
OBJECTIVE Gp-TO-DATE
Strangely enough this objective
could be accepted with few minor
changes just as well by not only
Negro newspapers today, but by
publications of many other peoples,
who now beneath the hob-nailed
boot of Nazisn, find themselves for
tie first time getting first hand
knowledge of what the American
Negro has gone through and must
continue to fight.
Before 1855, all Negro newspapers
were published in the North. but in
that year. Augusta. Georgia became
the birthplace of the Colored Amer
lean, the South's first newspaper of
its kind.
Fifteen years later, as is the case
today, the South had three times as
many Negro newspapers as the
North. It was these Southern edi-
tors, fighting amid the hot-bed of
segregation and discrim-
nation, who rallied the Negro after
emancipation, to the fight for "com-
plete freedom.
BECOME AGGRESSIVE
Having obtained Tor then, physi-
cal freedom, these editors saw their
constttlents mexely shifted to an
other and even more deadly form

Quickly glancing back over the
historic past of Negro newspaper
dom from March is, 1927, when
John B. Russworn, the first of his
race to receive a degree from a
college in America, founded the
Freedoms Journal, until the pres
ent. one is impressed by the single
ness of purpose that has marked
the course of our publications.
Born in an era OF Inconsistencies,
the father Of all Negro newspapers,
was strictly an abolitionist publica-
ton, whose editors drove with con-
sistency to one goal, the complete
freedom Of the black man in Amer
lea.
A sad reflection on American de-
mocracy, is the fact that the pass
ing of lis years finds the Negro
press still battling with answering
fervor for the same goal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -(SNS) -
Leon A Ransom, member of tbs
national legal committee of the
NAACP and acting dean of Howard
University law school, was attacked
in the hall on the sixth floor of
the Davidson county courthouse
house here at four o'clock in the
afternoon of Thursday, February

Dick Fessey, former deputy sher-
if who made the assault was ar
rested on charges of aggravated as
sault and battery and released
February 81 on $1,000 bond. The
trial on the attack is set for next
week.
The attack came when Ransom
walked out into the hall from the
courtroom where he was sitting with
q. Alexander LOBBY, local NAACP
attorney, on a case involving the
exclusion of Negroes from a jury.
AS he stepped out, Fessey rushed at
him and knocked his glasses off.

who would have aided Ransom were

The Globe IrOtter By cliff Maekay

/ Negro newspapers shifted with this
trend to new plan of attack. Eol-
tors perceived that the offensive was
the best defense.
With the same detectives OF their
predecessors, those post Civil War
papers, lust as do the large major
ity Of these today, nc longer petl-
toned and begged for the just rights
of Negro Americans; they aggres-
sively demanded them.
Motivated by the hope OF making
America the democratic nation 1t
processes to be. editors or Negro
newspapers never hesitate to cham
pion any movement OF cause, which
has this as its detectives.
FIGHT Is RELENTLESS
Relentless is their fight against all
forms of oppression, segregation,
discrimination undemocratically
based on race. In yeSteryearS 1t was
to obtain release from slavery. then
it shifted to political freedom. To-
day there is a united attack on &C.
ononic slavery. the denial of jobs
| to black Americans merely because
of race. This, combined with the
stupid denial of equal participation
of all Americans in the armed forces
and war effort, claims their full at
tention
The vitriolic pens of these editors
have in most instances brought in
evitable results. Slowly, but surely,
the wall of prejudice which has all
but stifled democracy, is being push
ed back
In constantly holding high the
shining light Of freedom, justice and
equality, the Negro press has rem
dered real and necessary service
to nation and world which now
finds themselves locked in a deaths
struggle for the preservation of
these ideals
TRUE EMANCIPATION
SOUGHT
These editors, though, fully real
ize that their task Is far from COM
plete. They are determined that no
time shall be wasted, every minute
must count in this pursuit of that
elusive thing called democracy,
Facing them as challenge is
their determination to achieve for
their readers true emancipation
an emancipation which is at once
social and economic as well IS po-
litical That is the goal that bids
