DOWN OUR WAY
by frances sampson

the struggle and hasten the day when de-
mocracy will be seen at work in the field Of
education.
While the teachers met at Pine Bluff young
minister, white man, has written an eneour-
aging letter 10 Mr. Flowers, a part of which IS
quoted here:
First Of all would like to say that |
have been keeping up with the stand that
you have taken for the advancement of
Colored schools in our State. wish to
congratulate you for the remarkable prog
ress that you have made thus far AS a
result of your untiring effort, the stand
ard of education is being raised l feel
that the inequality of schools for whites
and Negroes is a sin and disgrace.
"As a pastor and leader of group Of
people l would like to have your views
on what our Church can do to help the
cause which you are promoting.
May God help you and your people
IS my prayer.
Such letter is quite encouraging, and
certainly, if white man, can find time to
praise Negro who constantly advocates the
abolition of segregation in the public school
system, it would appear that thousands of Ne
groes would rally behind such man. Such is
not the case due TO the fact that the leadership
will not permit such a venture of unity and
loyalty. However, il is encouraging to note that
with the one barrier which has retarded the
progress Of Americans in Arkansas for many
years, barring of Negroes from voting in cleo
tions, out Of the way, it is predicted here that
with the drive which is now underway that the
walls of segregation will soon come tumbGng
doxIu dacpfa u,haf 10
tieians say.
TRIVIA: The businessmen who profit most
from the teachers in annual meeting are be-
moaning the fact that the convention will go
back to Little Rock in 1852. The self-serving
businessmen who are complaining have to
blame themselves for their negligence in help
ing with the type of organized aid needed to
make Pine Bluff and the AMIN college com
munity the Capital of Negro life and activity
in education. If the facts are laid bare, one
finds mediocre businessman with no further
interest than deriving profit out OF his sales
complaining. On the other hand he is found
guilty without question of failing to help keep
alive Negro business organizations which are
sorely needed in this community. II would be
interesting to know that Negro business men
in Pine Bluff are not held in high esteem with
respect to community progress among white
business organizations. The Negro Business
League is dead and defunct! The greatest at
traction as far as interest in the community
comes from the rivalry among the businessmen
in displaying the rewards of their labors Such
boasting and self praise one would never ex-
pect, but from the business men and women in
Pine Bluff there is evident a complete void so
far as group help in furthering their own
private aspirations of public goals.

Arkansas Teachers Association, the organized
force among Negro school teachers, has once
again met in annual convention. No reports
ernanate from the meeting to give courage to
the small minority in Arkansas working a.
cainst tremendous odds to improve educational
facilities and opportunities for Negroes. With
its large membership and substantial funds in
the treasury ii would appear that some token
effort would be made to support some people
vho are posing questions in the courts Of Ar
kansas which when decided will have a great
effect upon the public school system. 1t ap-
pears that the annual tradition has been well
kept; the teachers have come in full dress pa
rade, sporting fine expensive cars and left un-
disturbed the harmonious relationship which
ealsts for the most part between school au-
fheTities and the patrons in the communities
finn, which the teachers came.
Down in Union county small group of patrons
In the Bowie school district community have
fIIei a petition in the United States District
Court asking the court to decree the rights Of
fhe parties and seek an injunction to prevent
the practice in that district of providing in
ferior schools for Negroes while maintaining
superior schools for whites. 1t appears that
such group of courageous persons needs some
won there will mean the fight will be easier in
communities to which it will surely be carried
While it was opportune and timely for the presi-
dent of the AMIN college TO laud Governor
McMath. Commissioner Bonds, and Supervisor
MeCuistion when they appeared before the
teachers group as great friends to Negro edu-
cation it does not yet appear that the group
or its leadership have given any public ac-
claim of credit where credit is due, and long
since past unrewarded. While the school work
ers enjoy the greatest benefits in the history
of Arkansas, fighting Negro lawyer named
Harold Flowers has consistently waged a one
man war against inequalities in the field of Ne
gro education.
Flowers built the largest branch in the
history of the NAACP at Pine Bluff during the
four years he served as leader of the group
The membership in the State organization was
at an all time high. Flowers was ousted, but
never has reented in the fight he began upon
entering the practice of the law in Arkansas in
1885 Flowers took Silas Hunt to the University
of Arkansas: he led the small group of Dewitt
school patrons into the United States District
Court where they had an opportunity to seek
a redress OF their grievances; he was the NOV
ant when Arkansas gave scholarship aid to IA
graduate and professional students in schools
and universities over the nation in 1910. All
of this is written not to praise one who has
done SO much, but to direct attention to the
need for help at this time The contribution
which he has made is seen in the new school
over Arkansas; it is stamped in the
hearts and souls of men and women Of every
walk of life we suggest that because OF the
persistent effort that more citizens rally to
