fUI and eloquent borroge ogoin
Rev. Mr.. Borders, speaking on the
Christian approach to the problem
of segregation versus integration,'
declared that now is the time to
fight segregation in all it's aspects
"here in the South here in
Atlanta, Ga.w
The speaker, pastor of Wheat
Street Baptist Church, hurled a
militant challenge to his cheering
audiences, "Quit being coward
and get on the firing line" The
forces of God, he said, are behind
those who fight the evils of segre-
cation and the fight cannot be lost.
He urged his hearers to start out
by backing the current anti-segre-
cation cases in the Atlanta public
schools.
The Emancipation Day celebra-
ton, sponsored by the Atlanta
Branch NAACP, brought forth a
collection of $2,122.25 for the or
ganization. An additional $1,000
was pledged by AME churches
through Bishop S. L. Greene who
made the general collection appeal.
With several persons fainting and
shouting with emotion, Rev. Bor-
ders went straight down the line in
his attack against Jim Crow. He
outlined a four-point program for
racial progress which he simplified
in these sentences: 1. Get a dollar
in your pockets; 2. Get ballot in
your hand; 3, Get some sense (edu-
cation) in your head, and 4. Get
religion in your heart.
GET MONEY
AS race and as individuals, Ne
groes must get money, he advised.
The Biblical advice that man cam
not live by bread alone" by impli-
cation denotes that man must have
some other material means, he said.
Money and material resources will
influence racial progress. Pointing
to all the famous Negro-owned
businesses lii Atlanta, the speaker
deplored the fact that in spite of
these assets around us, Negroes
control only three cents of every
dollar in Georgia. He urged his
hearers to patronize Negro-owned
businesses in order to multiply ra-
cial wealth, disclosing that three
white insurance companies have
more ordinary policies on Negroes
in three states than five Negro
owned companies have in eight
states.
Following his theme in eloquent
and flowery oratory, Rev. Borders
warned that no man in a democ-
racy can escape the political as
poets of life. Everything from street
light, taxes, jobs, personal income
health and life itself, is affected by
the ballot, he declared.
RING DOOR BELLS
Voters change the attitudes of
politicians, reduce prejudice, he
commented. Every intelligent per-
son in Atlanta should "get out,
ring door bells, and get an addi-
tiOn9I .5O O0O NeproeS on the regis
tration lists" he challeged.
The speaker declared that except
for religion, he is convinced that
education is the most powerful
force in fighting prejudice. Educa-
ton helps one see the folly of his
own ways through critical analysis
of situation. But" he warned,

If it is not a current idiom
unless it recognizes these
things, then perhaps 1t IS quite
well for the artistic soul of
the architect, as we'll as for
the peace of mind of the peo-
pie, that the country's build
ingS should be a bit timid, a
bit unrealiStic, a bit wavering
between the clothes Of the past
and some of the proper clothes
OF the present; perhaps it is
quite well that these buildings
are physical embodiments on
a less realistic plane than
civilization might suggest, and
that they do not too harshly
express our time and place in
history, if that time and place
are to take into consideration
the perils to which a free peo-
pie are exposed who wish to
safeguard their freedom.
Maybe, indeed, it is quite
we'll that architects today are
not hewing too closely to any
such goth century idiom. For,
were they closer in spirit to
their age. they might be con-
fronted with a monotonous

atomic age when-if there
were not hope and a Wiling
ness to disregard the severest
hazards Of our civilization
the idea Of a house with glass
walls might very we'll clash
violently with the idiomatic
connotations of atomic or hy-
drogen bombs.
No one would suggest that
the architect should allow his
ref1exes to be too much dis
turbed by the possibilities of
atomic war. If so, he probably
would begin to think alone of
underground architecture.
Yet any one who observes
the struggle of a free world
against a world enslaved must
recognize that the struggle
exists, that air power exists.
and that potentialities for ar
chitectural safeguards in a
dangerous situation likewise
must exist.

On the other hand. there is
nothing to suggest that the

work and lack Of color in
balconies"
Designs seems we'll con-
ceived, but lacks vigor in ex-
ecution."
"A minor defect is the un-
necessary variety in shapes,
windows, glass, wood and brick
panels"
Heavy vanishing of exte-
rior woodwork is oppressive.
A grayed stain finish would
have been quieter and more
elegant"
"Wall textures Of common
brick would have made for
greater simplicity than the
wafer-thin bricks of unfortu-
nate color and surface used"
You see from this that cour-
age is often a part of the
equipment of an architect
and that the three brave men
who served as judges made
unhesitant and unstinting use
of such equipment. How their
fellow architects reacted prob
ably was of no more nor less
concern to the judges than it
would have been to any other
good architect had he been
looking down from the height
a judge attainS.
An artist-and most archl-
tects consider themselves to
fall into that general category
must be an individualiSt,
must have the courage of his
convictions and must call his
shots as he sees them.
And if a bit of artistic slim
ulation and controversy Is
stirred up by his opinions. the
average architect says to him
self, "All we'll and good!"
Thus, the good judge doesn't
hold himself or his opinions
above question, nor is it neceS-
sary for the public or any part
of it to accept the idea that
architects are the best judges
of other architects work. Nor
would an architect generally
accept, as final, the Judgment
on his own work of any other
architect.
All kinds of questions could
very well arise in the wake Of
such strong opinions as were
cast by the judges of the Board
of Trade competition-queS-
tions that might certainly skip
far beyond the realm of the
technical aspects Of architec-
ture.
Some observers might ask,
for example,:
What is the status. indeed.
of our civilization today, and
would we want our architec-
ture to reflect it accurately?"
This would not be to imply
that it is not a good civiliza-
tion, but that there are aspects
of it. conceivably, which might
not be conducive to the formu-
lation of a broad or very
pleasant architectural idiom.
Would not, perhaps, the
heavy burden of peace or war
if faced squarely and real
istically by all architects-put
a rather bleak pail upon the
drawing boards of Washington
and points East, South, North
and West?
