DR.. Mays emphasizes that what is
wrong with Negro leaders is
wrong with the leaders of the
other so-called racial groups"
He goes on, however, to cite
fear seems to handicap many Ne
gro leaders, particularly fear
that they will not be well thought
of by their white friends and by
white people in general. This
makes them cautious and the sad
thing is that this fear is imagin-
airy and has no basis in fact. 1t
has been demonstrated again and
again that leadership can be both
courageous and sane. 1t can take
high ground when a principle is
at stake and lose no prestige, but,
rather, gain prestige"
jealousy has cut severely into
the ranks of Negro leaders, con-
tinues DR.. Mays. "Al one leader
has to do to gain the enmity of
another leader is to succeed well
and gain public acclaim" he
writes. 1T has happened among
lawyers, physicians, businessmen
and educators-and at its worst,
among ministers. The lesson is yet
to be learned that there is enough
light in the sun for all to bask.
"One could hope that a race
handicapped as ours should have
produced more unselfish leader
ship than I think we have produc-
ed and a leadership that would
rejoice when any Negro FORCES
ahead"
DR.. Mays criticizes the Negro
leaders who have become socially
and economically secure who have
tended to become complacent and
conservative. TOO, some of our
leadership is not well enough in
formed and we must be honest
and admit that great effort needs
to be made to improve the intel
lectual competence of our leader
ship.
