Why Stigmafize A Race =
By S. s@Taylor

This nation passed most OF the tests which
have beaten the democracies of the past. Ii
broke with autocracy at its birth, 1t abolished
slavery at its high noon. 1t has always steer
ed careful course between irreligion on the
one hand and dictated religion on the other,
1t has avoided the evils of unregulated en-
terprise without running into the correspond
ing evil of state socialism. One by one ii has
placed behind it most of the big problems
till now the one which remains which most
threatens its good name and its standing as
a world leader is the problem of race. For
two-thirds of the world Is non-White and
wants leadership which acknowledges modern
principles of equality and responsibility.
Everywhere there is a growing express
sion of this thought. Without and within the
United States, without and within the south,
there is an increasing tendency to weigh care
fully traditions folkways customs, habits,
and even laws, and in this country and this
section of this country to bring them into
accord with our democratic way of life
1t is a source of pride to the native Ar
kansas or to the Arkansan who has chosen
this state for his home that Arkansas is not
hindmost in its effort to democratze its prac-
tees. Advances in recent years are familiar
to us-acceptance of Negro students in the
state university in law, medicine and other
graduate work, use of Negro deputies by the
sheriff's office, invitation of Negro doctors in
to the Pulaski County Medical association, re-
moval of white" and "colored" signs from
the drinking fountains of some department
stores opening of general library facilities to
Negro students and adults, and abolition of
white" and "colored' lines in many stores
One of the smallest of these advances and
yet one OF the most important is the removal
of "colored' lines and signs in a number of
places. The removal of the signs is a small
thing in its actual effect upon actual pract-
ices 1t is important as the removal of un-
necessary brand, or stigma, or public humli-
alton. The sign "colored' is like signs of
smallpox singing out particular group for
isolation. only the group carries its quaran-
tine with it and the basis is race instead of
Arkansas State press. [volume] (Little Rock, Ark.) 1941-1959, 1954-01-29

disease. 1t is like the high caste avoidance of
the low caste touch of no value whatever
except as a symbol of the supremacy of the
high caste The sign indicating that facility
is Tor a particular race is an insult to the
race excluded from the facility, reflection
upon the democracy of the group practicing
it, and it aeeomplishes no useful purpose.
1t has been interesting to note the eff
fects of the abolition of signs where they
have been abolished. People pass the fountains
with such little concern that wonders
whether not they even notice the absence
of the signs. When the writer some years ago
first entered public place where Lines" had
been abolished, he was agreeably surprised to
find that his place in the line afforded no
friction whatever. Often he has seen white
people yield gracefully to colored because the
white person did not want to usurp a place
and vice-versa. Mixed lines and absent signs
have caused far less trouble than separate
lines and public signs, The writer has reach
ed the conclusion that the sign and the line
are not a demand of the white public but an
effect of leaders, and effect of narrowness
in some responsible white leaders and cow
ardice in some responsible Negro leaders
sometimes the other way about too
1t takes a brave man to question a Gus
tom. But the first and second world wars, the
~korean conflict the constant threat of die
tators, and the increasing peril of the demo
cratic way of life together with the almost
universal military service which the defense
of democratic principles demands, have caused
old and young white and black to re-think
many of their prejudces and folkways Stu
dents visiting our courthouse and our city hall
are disturbed by the racial signs prominently
and needlessly displayed in this place and
that Their reaction is not an isolated reac-
ton. 1t is the common reaction of Negroes in
general, However tempered with caution CD
the reaction may be-
We do not want to give man too much
credit for merely doing his duty, but we do
wish to acknowledge the courage of coored
and white youth who set their faces toward
the realization of democratic ideals

its wake has come dissatisfaction

A Funny Thing About The Southemer-
By lauren White

There seems to be no depth to which
some people will not sink in order to gain or
maintain an unfair advantage. Consider the
role of the Russians in the present tension.
Any time conference is held in which
differences may be ironed out, the Russians
are so unyielding and adamant that the con-
ference usually ends in a stalemate When
there is not stalemate, the Russians usual
ly have in mind clever scheme whereby they
can go back on their word. AT the recent
four-power talks on the selections of a site
for the conference scheduled January Is, the
discussion had to be postponed because the
Russians made it impossible to reach an a.
greenent.
The aim of people who are continually
dlsagreeable and obstinate is to keep others
off-oalance in order to take advantage of
them The tactics of the Russian leaders re-
mind one of the tactics some Americans use
when they are trying to gain or maintain
an unfair advantage
Consider the procedure followed in some

OF the lynchings that have occurred in the
United States. First a committee was formed
to investigate the crime (the people who suf-
fered from the lynchngs were never repre-
scented on the committee). Then the commit
tee conferred reached no decision and ap-
pointed another date to confer Meantime
lynching continued, democracy became weak
er, and the nations of the earth had less and
less respect for our way of life
Or consider what often happens in civil
rights issues. All too often there are too
many committees appointed, Investigations
held and nothing done when there are clear
cut cases of violations of civil rights. acts In
too many instances, even where FEPC laws
are supposed to be enforced, many firms pre-
tend to employ and upgrade individuals re-
CARELESS of race, but very few do. The man.
ayers of many of these firms seem to be ded-
icated to keeping things as they are.
Perhaps the Russians see this override
