The Burden Of Proof

Today. there is before the Amer
lean people and their elected repre-
sentatives in Congress, the burning
question Of whether a large proper
ton of the people of this land shall
be given all those blessings of citi-
zenship which are so easy to boast
of to other countries There is no
argument as to whether the propo-
sails are worthy in themselves or
not. The objection to them advanc-
ed by their opponent in that the
time is not ripe for their enactment.
There is little doubt that they mean
by this that the Negro people are
not ripe to take the place in our
society that they have earned
through toll and loyalty.
They say the time isn't ripe be-
cause it has taken the White race
centuries to reach its present stat
us in knowledge and understanding.
Hence, since the Negro can point to
less than a century of freedom in
the western civilization, his pro-
gress must necessarily have been
inadequate. AS 1 see it, the White
race pioneered western civilization
which is somtimes referred to as
the White mans civilization.
Through long processes of trial and
error, mistake and remedy, he natur-
ally took considerable time to
achieve results.
When the Negro came to the
western world its civilization was
already in a comparatively advanc-
ed stage. Very few of them had the
opportunity to initiate research and
development nor was it expected of
them. In fact they were discouraged
in such "foolishness" to keep them
in their status Of toilers.
On being freed, the NeSTo.
through native aptitude ard initia-
tive has made rapid prgress in all
fields of human endeavor. His pres
ent development compared to other
racial groups in America is unde.
niably adequate and new miracles
of achievement are coming each day.
Colored people have contributed
much to the betterment Of human.

ity and are entitled to first class
citizenship now for further expan-
sion of life which is the right of all
people. No race, having made the
rapid progress Of the Negro people
would be satisfied to remain in the
position Of second class citizens.
The sense Of qualification implies
them to contend for an equal status
in the society Of peoples.
AS a group, we cannot afford to
stop or to slow down in our fight
for what we believe is right and
just. Nothing worthwhile comes to
us easily and with the help OF God
and of courageous White people
who believe in justice for all. we
will win. We have striven. we have
conquered, we have qualified. Ours
is not the burden of proof of the
sincerity of America.

'ue Been Thinking
BY CAB GALLOWAY

1t has taken the Negro man,
years to get away from the carica
ture of his race which began as fal
back as the days Of the minstre
show and which, unfortunately, has
continued in great part right dowr
to the present day of radio and
motion pictures.
That's why I've been impressed
with the way the baby entertainment
me(.um, television. has accepted
the Negro entertainer. While we
don't find television networks too
anxious to build shows around Ne.
groes, they at least accept him with
out caricature and without open
prejudice.
And while the teevee nets are re-
1uctant to build Negro shows, many
of the top shows on television have
shown not only willingness to &C.
cept the Negro as an equal, they
have shown DESIRE. to do so.
Such top television stars as Ar
thur Godfrey, Milton Berle, Ed Sui
Ivan, Jack Carter and a host of
others have insisted upon present
ing the Negro entertainers on their
shows as the complete social equals
of other entertainers appearing on
the same shows.
In other words, it appears that
the infant entertainment industry
is giving Negroes an opportunity to
present themselves as respectable
human beings, not as the "jazz-
hos" of most other media.
The Negro is as he does on tele-
vision, and let's hope it continues
that way.
Many Negro entertainers have
found it easier to conform to the
caricatures expected of them than
to fight these discriminatory ele-
ments, so there are Negro enter
tainers who still wear loud clothes
or zoot suits and who submit to be-
ing jimcrow characters rather than
honest Negroes.
1t is hard to blame the entertain
err for this and I don't doubt that
1 may have offended myself. uniu-
tentionally. But now is the time to
fight for self respect. If television
is willing to look upon the Negro
as an equal, and as human being,
we entertainers should bend every
effort to representing the members
of our race with respect and truth
fulness.
In all of my many television ap-
pearances' l have held that thought
upermost in my mind and l shall
continue to do so, for television is
more than an entertainment fac
tor. Television affords the viewer, in
his home, an education in how the
members of society can live without
prejudice.
