This happy reception, unusual

Bishop Nichols, it appears is not
so much concerned with what
some might consider sacrilegious
as dressing God up in a frock
coat, but he is irritated by what
he terms the perpetuation of racial
stereotypes. He seems to think
that the heavenly fish fry and
other scene show up the colored
brother in a bad light, are anti
quated and reflect upon the digni-
ty Of the ebony church.
Apparently the Good Bishop has
spend SO much time in the halls
of justice helping the A.M.E. pre-
lates settle their legal differences
involving the distribution of fill
thy lucre that he is out of touch
with what is going on in his own
church in the lower echelons. For
his information l would like to
pass on the first hand intelligence
that many of our churches are
not only still holding fish fries,
but are doing many other worldly
things from hustling numbers to
selling hooch under the veil of
house parties to advance the king
dom and keep the auctioneers a.

A Great Legal Victory

On March 27, the NAACP won a great legal victory
when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit ordered the admission of Floyd B. McKis-|
sick, Solomon Revis, J. Kenneth Lee and other qualified
Negro applicants to the law schools of the University of
North Carolina.
The following editorial, reprinted in part, appear
ed in the New York Times on April l, 1851:
CAROLINAtS DECISIVE CASE
The opinion of the Fourth United States Circuit
Court of Appeals holding that four Negroes applicants
for admission to the University of North Carolina Law
School are entitled to enter, if otherwise qualified, par
allels other recent cases but has a decisive quality OF its
own. Here the state rested it's case squarely on the "se-
parate but equal doctrine in the provision of facilities
for the graduate education of Negroes. North Carolina had
not hurriedly constructed a Negro law school to meet
the exigencies of recent court decisions. Its separate Ne
gro law schools was established under a statute passed in
1889 and has been in operation at Durham for a decade.
There are only twenty-eight law students in the
segregated Durham school, but it is part of an institution
that has 1900 Negro students. 1t has a library OF 10000
volumes. 1t is served by two white professors. Its grad
uate have been passing the state bar examination in about
the same proportion as those of the University of North
Carolina Law School. The state pointed out that it's Negro
law school had twelve students from out of the state, five
of whom came from states where no legal barriers inter-
posed to prevent their entrance into law schools on a
basis of equality. Since Negro lawyers have only Negro
clients in North Carolina the state argued that graduates
of the segregated school would not be handicapped by
association only with members of their own race in their
professionally school. The lower court relied upon these
facts in denying the Negro applicants admission to the
University of North Carolina last October.
Judge Morris Soper's opinion for the appellate
court held that these arguments do not reach the COM
plainants' case or the deficiencies which it discloses."
Partly the deficiencies, cited by the court were physical.
But the fulcrum upon which the case turned was segrega-
ton, per Sc. The guide is that the courts must give first
place to the rights Of the individual citizen, and when
and where he seeks only equality of treatment before the
law his suit must prevail" It is, the court said, "a definite
handicap to the colored student to confine his associations
in law school to people of his own class. This was the prin-
ciple laid down by the Supreme Court in the Sweat case
from Texas, but the Fourth United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has enunciated it with a clarity that may broad
en- it's application.

is a fairly accurate facsimile Of
the original there is nothing about
it that will retard either the re-
of the world or injure
the race, that is, anymore than
some of the things the race does
to retard itself.
Perhaps Bishop Nichols would
find things more to his liking
if instead of presiding at a fish
fry. "DeLawd" rared back and
tried to perform a miracle by
trying to straighten out the con-
fusion at Wilberforce or Morris
Brown College which has kept
III holy fathers moving from
districts like Christmas shoppers
