Education Through
Action
by GEORGE NJ Ho.' SER
Executive Secretary. Congress Of Racial Equality

Too often we think we can
solve every problem with which
we are confronted by the pro-
cess OF simple education. We
hear people of goodwill say:
THE only way we will uproot
anti-semltism or Jim CrowiSm
in this country is by conduct
ing an educational campaign
over a period Of years"
This idea is good as far as
it goes, for, Of course, education
is an important part of any
campaign to achieve greater
justice. Still, many of those
who have this faith in educa-
ton err in thinking that educa-
ton consists only in subiecting
prejudiced people to a good
speech or pamphlet. To me, ed
ucation is much more than this.
1t is creating the conditions of
equality. It is an educational
experience for a prejudiced
southerner to ride on a New
York subway train where he
may be surrounded by colored
persons, Orientals and persons
Of the Jewish faith. This Is ed
ucation In democracy.
People learn by doing, not Just
by talking. 1t is this conviction
which has led the Congress of
Racial Equality (CORE), an in
terracial, interfaith organ'za-
ton with affiliated local groups
in many parts of the country, to
sponsor a summer action cam
paign. This campaign Of direct,
non-violent action does two
things primarily. First, it car
ries on a series Of action pro-
JectS which aim to create the
conditions for equality and de-
mocracy. 1916 will be the sec
ond summer In which this cam
paign has been carried on. Last
year those who volunteered for
the project centered in Chicago
and, working local groups there,
fought racial and religious dis
elimination in employment pol
icies of department stores. In
trying to urge store managers
met the argument that white
to hire colored sales clerks, they
patrons would not stand for
service from colored clerks. But
| the CORE volunteers took a
public opinion poll and discov-
cred that 10 percent of those
patrons questioned, as they

Fireworks instead Of big guns will be heard this
Fourth Of July
For the first time in five years, America will be at
peace on the day dedicated to her independencean in
dependence just rearmed and strengthened in the cos
est and bloodiest test in her history
1t should be great day.
1t be great day-if it is day of sane and joyful
thanksgiving that the courage and resolution of the United
States have again kept her free from tyranny.
But it will be tragic day if-as has happened so
often in the hundreds die of accidents due
lessness
Many will die
National Safety Council records show that last July
300 persons killed by accidents large number of
them a result fthe Independence Day celebration.
Perhaps it significant today to remember
1941 and last peacetime July That month brought
900 accidental deaths.
Peace brought end to killing only the battlefield
Since vi Day the accident toll has kyrocketed to
record highs-up Al per cent in traffic alone
Why?
The reasons are natural. Plenty of gas and more
leisure Release from restraint restrictions. No
time patriotic urge ong-deferred desire to blow off
steam with little fun and relaxation.
Add to that out and tires deteroraed high
carefree spirit that too often becomes careless
spirit and you have dark prospect for this Fourth of
July and the entire vacation season.
The tragic and ironc part of it is that many Amer
after sacrificing and riskng much to preserve life
and freedom, will lose it irrevocably and needessy in
r;omsnt of carelessness
It's plain, simple fact that 5000 to 10000 of us will

Let's celebrate the Fourth this year in the true spirit
Let's make it joyous holiday dedicated to the freedom of
country. And let's make that freedom a reality by
avoiding accidents that threaten to rob many Americans
of their precious and hard-won heritage
To help you, the National Safety Council offers few
simple suggestions:
l. Take trip vacation if you wish, but drive with
Above ALL take it easy and don't speed.
2. Wait hour after meal before swimming.
Don't in the water alone stay within your DEPTH and
don't show off.
g. You may be out of condition after four stay-at-
home years Avoid over-exerton and overexposure to
A. The only safe way to handle fireworks is to leave
them alone. Go instead to supervised public displays
1t has been a long time since America enjoyed real
holiday and vacation Everyone deserves
that relaxation.
So have fun the Fourth But be alive on the Fifth!

No, the colored lads weren't
through yet showing the south,
down there at Austin, Texas,
last week. That great perform
er, billiard, went out to score
the only double victory Of the
meet as he won the 2OO-meter
hurdles with George Walker OF
the powerful Illinois team, third.
Herb Douglass was second to
Willie Steele Of San Diego in
the broadjump. It was all so
inspiring that old time Olympic
performer, Dave Albrltten, ex-
Ohio State luminary, surprised
everyone by coming back to cop
the A.A.U. high jump crown at
SO 7/8, and Paul Robson, Jr.,
ex-Cornell U. star, now in the
army at San Antonio, put on his
jumping suit and tied for third
in this event. There were col
ored colleges entered too, and
even they refused to be fright
ened. For example, Hubert
Gates of Hampton and Lew
Smith Of Virginia Union won
third in the 400-meter hurdles
and 800-meter run respectively.

that very few white southern

democratic brotherhood, won

The campaign group inveSti-
gated some Of the policies OF
the University Of Chicago and
discovered that the university
was one Of the chief upholders
Of restrictive covenants, by
which colored people, and in
some areas Orientals and Jews,
are neither sold nor rented
property. Public protest meet
ings were held on the university
campus. Picket lines were Or
gained and street meetings
held to protest against property
and residential restrictions.
These and other actionpro-
jectS were creating the condi-
lions for democracy, and thus
were helping to educate people
to equality.
The second thing this cam
paign does is to prepare those
who participate in 1t for leader
ship in action against bigotry.
Although members of the group
spend some time in study and
discussion, primarily they learn
by doing. The volunteers are
Of the Christian and Jewish
faith, and Of various races. Thus
interracial and interfaith fell
lowship is a part Of the whole
program.
Again this summer the Con-
greSs of Racial Equality will
sponsor an interracial action
campaign, using techniques OF
non-Tiolent direct action against
racial and religious discrimina-
ton. The dates of the project
are June II to August II. The
campaign will center in Chicago,
1t will follow up on work which
was started last summer, and
also will help such groups as the
Chicago Council Against Racial
and Religious Discrimination,
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
the Urban League and tn Chi
cago CORE group carry out
their current action program.

That they may show tolerance and goodness.

In solemn or hilarious way.
Some use it wildly for their joy and fun,
But, others for thanks for freedom won.
