the project had gone through. But
the white people got tired of paying

All this is to show that a tight

BY Dan Gardner

One side of the Negro leadership
problem that seems to have been
missed by those trying to straight
en- out the matter is that we have
too many leaders representing too
many shades of opinion and schools
of thought. The sooner we narrow
down our leadership to a half dozen
or less, the sooner the conflicting
viewpoints which retard our local
and national progress will be elimi-
mated.
Roughly Negro leadership can be
divided into two camps: the one,
which demands complete integra-
ton of the Negro into American
life, inter-marriage, social equality
and all; and the other, which de-
mands a militant racial conscious
ness based on what the experts call
nationalism along the lines followed
by the Jewish-Americans, German
Americans, Instantaneous, and so
forth. In other words, they want
to make the Negro conscious of the
fact that he is first of all a Negro
and secondly an American.
The boys who want complete in
tegration are the ones who raise
the most vexing problems and cor
respondingly the ones who have the
most glamorous problem for the
more cultured and educated por-
tons of the Negro population. The
miitancy of Dubois, Trotter and
before them, Douglass, in demand
ing the complete absorption of the
Negro into the American stream
of life has had a deep effect on the
Negro classes. The militancy of
Garvey, and before him Greener,
in advocating return of the Negro
to Africa or to some homeland"
mas instilled the seeds of hope for
"deliverance" some day into the
hearts of millions among the Ne
gro masses. In between these two
classes can be sandwiched one that
bases its theory of solution of the
problem on playing both ends
against the middle by seeking
economic" freedom as outlined by
Booker T. Washington. This class,
and there are many, numbering
notably our Negro businessmen,
and our educators who want more
Negro colleges and more Negro
schools, contends that the white
man will smile on it with more
favor since he is more likely to give
Negroes a chance to earn their
bread and board than he is to let
them marry his daughters as in the
case of the integrationalists, or to
create an economic and political
vacuum by allowing huge numbers
to depart from the country as hap
pened when the Jews fed Pharaoh.
Faced with this situation, the
white man in power who is inclined

Easter

No mortal ever bears his cross Alone
Nor finds fate sealed in hopeless toInD'
Light shining through from Gods throne
Must ever penetrate the deepest gloom
There is beauty in Gods plan,
No greater for the king than slave,
A touch of immortality to soul OF man
That strips all victory from the grave.
Bloodstained crosses, storm and strife
Unfold into a wondrous story,
God builds golden crevice in each life
Through which the soul ascends to glory.
No mortal ever bears his cross alone
While golden chariots swing low and sweet
Casting off this earthbound flesh and bone
Writes only "fnis" for weary mortal feet.
Yet living we may find true resurrection
In power to see the light in Gods affection,
Assuring each day one good thought is born'
We live out the eternity of Easter Morn.

Color and race, yet thousands OF

great pride over what the Jim

In Washington the complexities
of Negro leadership are shown in
the maneuvering that goes on as
Negroes jockey for position as lad
yisers on Negro affairs" NEGRO
experts" Negro consultants," and
other groupings in which voluntary
segregation and acceptance of the
status quo is apparent.
There are those who hailed for
mer Congressman Arthur Mitchell's
victory over that Southern railroad
as the most important triumph of
our time in that Mitchell had
fought for and won the right to
equal accommodations" on that
railroad.
Yet, even in the word equal" is
the trick by which the white man
avoids the demands and thwarts
the desires of that class of Ne
groes who want Indignation. All
the white man does is hitch another
car exactly like the one he uses onto
the train and open the door for the
Negro patrons. The accommoda-
tons are Equal" aren't they? he
reasons.
Down in Washington John P.
Davis is raising hell with city Off
Gals because his son can't attend
the school in the neighborhood
where he lives which happens to be
a white school. A court suit might
presumably force an issue in which
all Washington schools, elementary,
high school and college, could be
opened for Negroes. In such sit
uation it might be assumed that
hundreds of Negro school teachers
who are in comfortable jobs in
Washington's Jim Crow school sys-
tenn would be thrown out of jobs.
Yet, a demand of Indignation would
have been served. At Jefferson

magnificent editorials pleading for
the ending of Jim Crow segrega-

ly something happened that gives
US hope. A Negro and a white man
ran against each other for a judge
ship, an important position carry
ing a salary of $4,000 a year. The
Negro won, getting his majority
of votes, mark it, in white districts.
Then the defeated candidate gave a
dinner to his successful Negro
rival, and Catholics and Protestants
and Jews and Negroes dined to-
gether in his honor.
Be just to US, we Americans
would want to say to the worlds
colored races, and believe the best
in us as we try to work this prob
lem out. 1t is not easy, and God
helping US we will do better. Well,
wanting and needing such con-
sideration from others, whatsoever
we would that men should do unto
US, even so let US do unto them!
Nathaniel, it will not do for you
to say, "Can any good thing come
out of Nazareth 2" You could not
stand having that said about your
own group.
The barbarians, that Aristotle
said the Greeks had no more duties
toward than toward the wild
beasts, were our forefathers; races
rise and fall; their diversities-I
color, aptitudes, and characteristics
are due not to original and
permanent differences in their in
alienable constitution but to cir
cumstances, geographical condi-
tions, mutations that are alterable
and sometimes reversible. Racial
prejudice as it is commonly ex-
hibited and sometimes argued for
today is thoroughly unintelligent.
People today, for example, point
to the appalling record of crime
among our Negro people. Well, it
is appalling. Gin $780," we read,
"the Negro crime rate, judged by
commitments to prisons and re-
formatories, was five times that for
whites" But the answer to that is
neither to deny it nor to meet it
with contempt and prejudice. The
answer is to do something about it.
Here in Harlem in one block 1871
of our colored people live. My
friends, if the entire population of
the United States were similarly
crowded together, all the 135,0OO,-
900 of us would be living in one
half the area of greater New York.
Of course, the crime rate for Ne
groes is greater than for whites,
and it will be until for our own
sakes, if not for theirs we help
them to achieve more decent con-
ditions of living.
AS for US Christians, let no one
say that today l am talking merely
sociology. am talking Christian
ity. Race prejudice is as thorough
a denial of the Christian God as
atheism is and it is a much more
common form of apostasy. Race
prejudice denies the universal
fatherhood of God; it denies the
New Testament's insistence on
equality of all souls before God;
it denies the central affirmation of
the gospel, that God so loved the
world that he gave his Son, and as
for Jesus of Nazareth, who took
his hero, the Good Samaritan, from
despised race, anyone who harb-
ors race prejudice parts company
with him.
We say that this is a generation
when races and nations are torn
asunder by hatred and violence, but
all the more because of that it is
a generation when men and women
are needed who forget every divi-
