Speaking generally" said the
Mississippi Supreme Court judge,
Negroes are getting a fair break
in southern courts today In fact,
the courts are leaning over back
ward to see that they get equal
Justice
He told this correspondent of
cases which he felt pointed up the
great strides southerners--white
and Negro-have made in devel-
oping closer and more harmonious
relations between the two races.
Actually said the jurist (who
because of his position, did not
want to be identified by name),
this desire by southern courts to
assure Negroes of fair treatment
has roots reaching as far back as
1869"
In that year, the Mississippi Su-
preme Court began pioneering in
the use of Negroes on grand ju-
ries. As early as 1876, he said
Negroes served on jurors in circuit
court trials.
Decisions Reversed
He pointed out that the Mis-
sissippf high court for many years
has not hesitated to reverse de-
cisions in cases of Negroes killing
white men, when sufficient evil
dence of malpractice of justice
was offered.
And believe me-" he said,
state supreme courts are very
alert to evidence of miscarriage
of justice. .
In 1906, he said, the Mississippi
Supreme Court reversed the con-
viction of a Negro because the
district attorney had referred in
his argument to the mulatto.
The court ruled that there are
no racial distinctions in the law +"
The jurist said their tendency
to protect Negro rights continues
in the Mississippi Supreme Court.
AS evidence of what he felt was
judicial fairness, he pointed out
that the high court twice had
reversed conviction of Willie
MeGee, a Negro facing capital
punishment. Reversible were or
dered because no Negroes were
in the jury box" A third trial
again found the Negro guilty and
t he United tSates Supreme Court
itself upheld the sentence, which
is scheduled to be carried out
March 90.
Negroes Acquitted
AS q trial judge the Missis-
sippi jurist told me, al heard sew
eral eases where Negroes We're
charged with assaults upon white
men and the jury, finding the
white en- wrong, acquitted the
Negroes.
This report was one of many
evidences find of great prog
ress made in the South in harmo-
nizing racial relations. was told
time and time again that the once
prevalent extremist feelings on
this subject were subsiding.
Scarcely anyone, whatever his
point of view, was complacent
about the future. Big problems
remain to be solved. The South
still is faced with heavy pressure
from the rest of the United States,
and particularly from the North
which all too readily forgets its
own big city Negro slums and dis
examinations. 1t is sensitive, also
to pressure from the outside world
which singles out the racial prob
lem in the United States for what
may be excessively close atten-
ton.
The South is experiencing not
only a readjustment in human
relations which is part of wo rid
wide ferment, but the grosing
economic position of the Negro
which inevitably brings political
and social change with it.
South Takes Steps
Faced wit h all these pressures
from without and within, most
southerners are urgently insisting
the problem is strictly their own,
The Illinois times. (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-19??, 1951-04-13

and a great many Of them are
taking active steps to cope with
II on that basis.
As evidence of improved rela-
tions, Southerners pointed out that
during World War IL, despite in
tenslfied tensions through the hir-
ing of Negroes to woik Alongside
through with only one outbreak
of racial violence. This was in
Beaumont, Texas, in the summer
of 1913, shortly before the Detroit
race riot. The Beaumont violence
was brought quickly under con
troll by the Beaumont chief of
police, who went personally into
the Negro section and hated
attacks ON Negroes and Negio
home by white gangs.
This improvement in southern
racial conditions was described to
me by DR.. George S Mitchell, di-
rector of the Southern Regional
Council, as the slow and arduous
process of strengthening and i'm
proving human relations at the
grass roots.
An SRC pamphlet says this
process has reached the point
where there are relatively few
obstacles in the way of (Negro)
voting in the South" Another SRC
pamphlet, prepared by a Negro
educator, said that the failure of
Negroes to vote in the South could
De ascribed primarily to their
own refusal to take advantage
of their suffrage rights. The SRC
has found that voting registrars
are friendly and cooperative, +"
and that state laws have given vir-
tually an open road to Negro vot
ing.
Mistakes Corrected
DR.. Mitchell, who has fought
for years to take civil rights
right down the back country
roads" believes the southerners
are capable of correcting their
own mistakes, plus some prod
ding by federal court action. The
problem, he said, lis one of The
attitudes of local people"
That the South has come a long
way since the 1920's is evil
denced by the fact that such pro
gressive editors as Holding Car
ter of Greenyille, Miss, continue
TO publish successful newspapers.
In the l920's, the advanced racial
attitude of Mr. Carter would have
prevented his publishing a paper
in the Deep South. Mr. Carter
pointed out to me that southern
racial attitudes had advanced to
the point where efforts to revive
the ku klux Klan on an anti
Negro basis had failed in Missis-
sippi and the rest of the South.
KHAN POWER EBBS
This failure of the Khan to stir
up white people also was attested
by Jack Button, editor of the
Summerville, S. c., Scene. a
weekly paper. Despite Khan out
bursts in scattered sections of
South Carolina, Mr.. Button said
1T is hardly anything now to what
it was in the 1905"
All this progress was encourag-
inc IN r,a xu,bar, T an,.,a L..I. CT
after an absence of almost six
years: 1t can rightfully be in
Guided IN the Southern Success
Story" For here is a great mass
of people who have begun to
recognize instinctively a need to
improve the lot of another great
mass of people. True, it is not
being done as rapidly as a small
group of southerners, who want
action overnight, would like. But
here amid fantastic material
gains, a great mental turnover
is taking place. This improvement
is not as tremendous as the
South's industrial and economic
gains. But it is there, and each
step upward is a solid move to-
ward more amicable relation
ship between southern whites and
Negroes.
