To The Editor:

To The Editor;
A. SO much Is being sad within
and with about the race problem
in the South, and as | was born
an dreared in the South. and be-
Ing q colored man: | feel justified
In expressing my views about the
race problem as | understand It.
In my travelling In Arkansas
and the South, | am convinced
that the race problem is not so
acute as many would have 1t. Ny
observation and experience have
convinced me that We need to re-
lay more OF the nicer and SUBJ
stantial contributions that the
white people of the South have
contributed toward the advance
ment of the Negro People of the
South.
am opposed to anyone wheth-
er they be colored or white, North
or South, to be at all times ex-
posing the bad side of the race re-
lation, and neglect to say any
thing about the brighter side of
the relationship. | do not believe
that the welfare of the two races
should be left in the hands of
the radicals.
After all is said and done. until
the Southern white people and the
Southern Negro people seek to ad-
Just their Misunderstanding and
solve their own problems, our re-
lationship will not be what II
should be. | Just do not believe
people living two or three thous-
and miles away are in a position
to solve our local problems, as we
ourselves. | think that we az
colored citizens. should continue
to give the white people of the
Arkansas State press., 1944-06-30

South credit for the many good
things they have done for the ad-
yancement OF our people.
Whether we believe It, or
whether We like 1t, statistics will
prove that the colored people OF
the South own more property. ope-
rate more musiness. own more
farms, and have built more insti-
tutons than in any other section
OF the United States. Much of
this advancement Of our group in
the South has been made possible
through the aid of white friends.
and We will be ungrateful II We
did not let the outside public
know about these contributions.
There are those who are ad-
vocating that In order to solve
the race problem, to send all the
Negroes back to Africa, but as
far as | am concerned, | have not
lost anything in Africa. What l
have and what am, | have OBJ
tained 1t here In Arkansas, and
am expecting to remain here.
So, the race problem is not so
bad as it is worked up to be. |
make no apology for writing as
| do, because | am writing from
experience and belief.
Let us all say more about the
nicer and substantial contribu-
tions that both of us have con-
tributed to our beloved South, and
1t will do much to help solve our
race problem.
