The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1949-11-19

NV We will make m,1y delays be-
fore we reach eQr( conclusion for
we know the frsilties of all man
kind. We would like for il to be
understood. however, that we can
not live by soft words alone. We
anticipate that under his slogan,
Negroes will be given jobs with
pay and dignity alike; that is il
he means what he says. or il he
can correctly evaluate his state
ment.
II his pledge to US, the loyal
Americans OF the nation and
state. alike is true, he will not
look upon us as something apart.
He will see US as honest men and
women who have embraced in
their bosoms every hope. every
faith, industry and patience in
abundance.
Fair and Honest
We strive to be fair; we al
ways seek TO be honest. II he de-
serves a crown. which has as its
attributes honor. truth. faithful
ness and honesty. we will be glad
to help all others TO place il
there But, il IL is necessary. be-
cause of his conduct as Mayor of
the City of Detroit, we will be
among those 10 cast our ballot al
the Ark OF the Covenant and
move him forever as mir. Hobo.
The following is what was writ
ten about the Rev. Charles A.
Hill. candidate for the Common
Council. which appeared also in
the Searchlight. Note how II
magnifed one and minimized the
other.
"Rev. Charles A. Hill. 1860
West Grand Boulevard. So. Pas
tor. Hartford Ave. Baptist Church
29 years. Born Detroit. Educated
public schools. Cleary Business
College. Ypsilanti, 1914; Lincoln
U. presbyterian College near
Philadelphia). 1919 Candidate
for City Council, l945, l947. and
vacancy, l948."
Rev. Charles A. Hills history
was suddenly avoided because
he did not belong to certain
tribe. that Is the silk stocking
gang and the lily white crowd.
We understand fully we'll be-
forehand that out Of the concepts
Of our would be democracy in
America that this very act would
be done Therefore. we are not
surprised that Rev. Charles Hill,
born in Detroit, builder and
leader who has gone from one
portion of the city and state 10
the other in the interest OF free
dom for humanity, was the for
gotten child.
Forgot IL Million
When they forgot Charles Hill
they forgot 100000 souls OF
his tribe. All OF those souls be-
longing TO the same human fam
lily and have made the greatest
personal sacrifice to the develop
ment Of the virgin soils OF Amer
lca. than any group who dwells
upon il. Therefore. il is obvious
that Charles Hill did not lose. be-
cause he was representing prin-
cIple and principles shall dwell
upon the face Of the earth as long
as men live.
We love Rev. Hill we adore
him, and on tomorrow other
Charles Hills OF what have you,
will carry the banner and we
shall not yield; we shall not give
and we shall not fear but we will
be as resistant as death itself UNI
til that even on these American
shores freedom abides alike with
all.
Negro Is Stranger
The Negro has not lost his
cause; you have made him
stronger He has grown up and
lived among universities all the
time he has dwelled upon Ameri-
can soil. Forced oppression. os-
tracism. lynching and JIm-Crow-
ism has been as mingled in his
life as neglected grains Of wheat.
Like the sword, truth. industry
and the sense Of justice will hue
itself through the forest OF hate
and bigotry and we have no fear
that the day will come when Nc
groes. too, will be elected 20 Of
fees for their worth as human
beings and citizens and not be-
cause they ale good baseball
players
Citizens Of ebony hue, take
care that your pain subdus.
With a vigilance descended from
God. never spare the bigoted
crowd
And al the end there will come
morning and sunlight. too
That will clear your troubles as
