DOWN OUR WAY
by frances sampson

a TERRIBLE TRAGEDY occurred in this
area at Reydel on the second Sunday in
February, 1851, when George Alexander, a
Negro businessman and farmer killed
wsrsie man. Following the Staying the home
and business in which Alexander worked
ard lived were destroyed by fire. h
uarties responsible Tor the burning have not
n-en brought to the bar of justice. This UNI
fortunate event took place five years to
tine day when the Wilkerson brothers were
fgvoiyed in a similar tragedy only a few
r1sises away. Both tragic events have and
ar~ playing a significant role in the ever in
cYeasing interest on the part of citizens to
tsgf1old the solemnity of the law. The events
bring 10 light the sharp preiudiees which
resp 10 retard the progress which is sorely
risxsted in the field of human relations.
TIE NEGRO LAWYER has waged battle
throughout the south to help win for his
rsople full rights and privileges Of citizen
sup. Among the contributions which the
S~gro lawyer has made has been he
bringing about of service by Negroes on
petit and grand jury panels. When the Wiki
eTSon brothers came to trial in the Jefferson
circuit court, it brought about the first
time that Negroes had served on a petit
Jury panel and or were called for Jury
xSrty in more than fifty years. Five years
yater, several Negroes have been called for
Jury duty. but there has been a lessering
Of the practice and at the present term of
ste court only two Negroes were on the
regular petit jury panel Behind the scenes
a Negro lawyer, Harold Flowers, accepted
employment conditioned upon raising this
defense among the defenses to be interposed
in the fight to save George Alexander On
the eve of his trial, George Alexander sue
<1rmbed to the judgment of white lawyers
s1at such defense would bring harm and
<sk4rinent to him. So, the Negro lawyer was
fnrcrd out of the case.
~ JEFFERSON COUNTY, according to the
1870 United States census reports, there
are seven thousand more Negroes than
writes. OF the persons eligible for call for
Jury service one third are reported to be
Negroes. This situation warrants the pos
Ing of the question as to whether the call
ing of one or two Negroes meets the spirit
and intent of the law The placement of
Negroes on jury panels would certainly help
in the process of educating white people to
respect the rights of Negroes 1t might be
ventured that of the present jury commits
sleners whose duty the law requires that
they name the persons to serve as jurors
rsd single commissioner would know the
names of a hundred Negroes in jefferson
,cmty. II therefore follows that it might be

good policy of judicial administration to
request the naming of Negro Jury com
missioner Because Of present laws and ira.
ultlohs there is not an intermingling among
whites and Negroes sufficient to give a
white jury commissioner an opportunity to
know the citizens of the community White
folks and colored folks don't even serve God
under the same roof down this way. They
both seem fearful that Jesus might have
some bearing on their conduct. However, as
the Negro moves forward in the realm of
politics these problems will become ncreas-
ingly pertinent to the policies of those elect
ed to government. 1t is hoped that the in
fluenee of the Negro vote will hasten the
day when prosecuting attorneys will cease
the filing of capital offenses where the
facts do not justify, simply because OF the
color of the parties involved. 1t is further
ventured that if the facts in the Alexander
case had involved only eolored persons or
white persons that at most an information
charging second degree murder would have
been filed But, we have yet the problem
of color with us, and somebody must keep
everlastingly before the people the princi-
Piles of justice and Christianity. 1t IS
strange that such an answer comes forward
from a white lawyer that such defense
as asking for more Negroes on the jury
panel would work to the detriment and
harm of George Alexander The record
shows here that not a WHITE LAWYER
has ever filed such motion despite the
fact that many of them depend upon Ne
groes for their practice. The great detri-
ment upon raising such a defense by
white lawyer, in this writer's opinion stems
from the fact that he (the white lawyer
might lose some white clients.

Muyor CzeIusfo And The LMC

TT is NOT OUR desire to tell the LMC who
Il its chairman should be- But it seems to us
that the choice of DR.. Goldberg as chairman
to succeed Mr.. Mike Disable upon the latters
resignation to assume his new duties as our
Price Sterilization Director in Washington was
somewhat unfortunate. This was especially SO
when Mayor CZelusta, successor to Mr.. Di-
Sale in City Hail. appointed himself as mem
Der of LMC. Certainly if anyone should have
assumed tn e charmanshp of LMC it was
Mayor Czelusta
There are a number of sound reasons for
this. First of all it is the mayor who appoints
the members of LMC. Secondly by having the
mayor act its chairman, the LMC gains in
prestige and influence it cannot gain other
wise. Thirdly, since the LMC is semi-official
agency of our city government, entirely de-
pendent on city council for the necessary funds
to keep it in operation, it is only proper that
the mayor assume major responsibility for
the functioning of this important agency in
community
AS matter of fact it was so designed
originally when LMC was first founded.
And, by the way, this is no reflection on
the qualifications of Dr. Goldberg. He is and
has been for long time an exceptionally valu-
able member of LMC. He can and should con-
tinue in that capacity to serve his fellow citi-
zens. We believe that he can best do that at
the moment by stepping aside SO that Mayor
Czelusta can assume his rightful place on the
LMC - as chairman. 49, fnt y~.
