Negro Pride And Integration

The discussion and controversy going on among
White folks in Mississippi well in other sections of
the SOUTH the results of the decision of the United
States Supreme Court aboshng segregation by law in
the public schools of the nation has brought light the
greatest weakness of the American Negro, his growing
lack of group, or race pride.
Under the influence of Negro Leaders developed
Immediately following his emancipation, and those
ceedng generations, such the late great Booker T.
Washington who directed their efforts first to creating
in the Negro individual and group, PRIDE despite
all the handicaps the un-written compromise and the
resulting segregation laws that brought an end to the
Reconstruction Era the southern Negro laid the ounda
ton for the survival of the American Negro and for
the great that Negroes have made in less than
100 years since his emancipation after than 800
years of slavery.
Beginning at the time when WEB. Dubois, as a
superintendent Negro leader began his attack the
philosophy and teachings of Booker T. Washington the
negro has come more and under the influence of
a type of leadership including NAACP zeaots, the
Negro super-interectuas and professionals, who give
greater worship to the ideal of White supremacy than
most white People, who would have the Negro desert
his pride in his institutions desert his pride of race
in the search for euphemous integration.
While here in Mississippi, and in the rest of the
SOUTH real home of the American Negro White leaders
asserting their pride of crying out against hav
ing their children attend schools with Negro Children
there Negro Leaders, with equal pride of race,
crying against having their children attend schools
with White Children; thus in the matter of the schools
the desire to have his children attend school with White
children is left alone his sole aim.
People all the world, including the Negroes of
Africa, and those from the mpovished little islands of
the look down upon the American Negro, because
it plainly evident to everyone else that the American
Negro is doing everything he in an impossible eff
fort to escape his racial denty and is to them therefore
totally lacking in Pride and therefore is to large
extent lacking in individual pride.
In the light OF the prevailing view of everybody
else in the world, regards the American Negro in
Guiding the American White people, both north and
south it should be evident to every intelligent American
Negro with the possible exception of the NAACP
lots and those blinded by their haste
to escape the and the responsibility for it's leader

Negro is going to be ntegraed accepted the
equal of anybody until he starts showing much pride
in himself both individual, and that other

not particular about anybodys company but that of his
Far and away above the call for ntegraton the
greatest need of the American Negro is individual
pride, and more race pride.

J0TTINGS
By RUBY TENNYSON

NEW YORK-(Global)-Things
were popping here in New York
last week, as everybody knows,
with thousands of fight fans in
town. To add to the air of festiv-
ity around the Theresa Hotel, there
were scores of lovely women sport
! ing beautiful hair styles. They
came to attend the N. Y. State
Beauty Culturists Convention. Mrs.
! Maude Gadsden is founder and
president of the group, and her or
ganization has done a great deal
for the beauty culturist in the
state.
One of the truly nice affairs of
the past week was the annual
Fashion Show and Dance given at
the Harlem Hospital School of
Nursing and presented by the "Bol-
ton Section" with Trudy Dixon as
the chairman. One of the fea-
lures of the show was a presenta-
tion of beautiful brief case to
Mrs. c. Zeller, one of the Clinical
Instructors who is leaving the
school. The presentation was made
by the Commentator Miss Jane
Carter. The various chairmen for
the affair were: Miss Gladys Reid,
program; Miss Carol Brown, Mu-
sic; Miss Loretta Gilliard, Stage;
and Miss Christine Brown, Fash
ions. Those Harlem Student
Nurses look as pretty in everything
as they do in their uniforms. Street
wear was displayed by Misses
Gladys Reid, Carol Brown, Trudy
Dixon, Pearl Eskeridge, and Lo-
retta Gilliard Lounging clothes
were modelled by Misses Carol
Brown, Thelma Pessoa, Gladys Reis
and Christine Bolton. Raincoats
were shown by Misses Elaine Kell-

future of unprecedented amity and
prosperity.
For the past decade the Fund
has devoted its efforts to the elimi-
nation of racial segregation and
discrimination. 1t now offers this
background of research and re-
gional action to all Southerners
who see that quick compliance with
the court decision is feasible, just,
and mutually advantageous for all
citizens. ~
The task of securing integration
in the public schools is no longer
legal problem. The problem now
lies in the minds of private citizens
and local officials. Parents, both
white and Negro, must be con-
vinced that the health of their
children's minds and the hope of
their becoming normal, mature per-
sons, depends on the leveling of
the barrier that blocks out half the
world and bhghts their adult be-
havior.
School officials and administra-
tors must be reminded that their
oaths of office and their profess
sional training prescribe their COM
rliance with this new system-and
they should be reassured that they
will be the better public servants
for doing SO.
The SCEF believes that nearly
every Southern community has
persons with the courage and
moral vision to challenge and to
convince their fellows. The Fund
pledges itself to seeking out and
supporting these individuals.
A major premise underlying the
Supreme Court decision was the as
sumption tina. education is not an
end in itself. Education is demo-
cratic living, and the court could
not have meant that the schools
should become isolated showcases
of functional democracy. There
fore, the SCEF declares the follow
ing additional detectives are de-
manded by the fulfillment of the
obligation America has to its chill
dren:
/. Final and complete establish
ment of a single standard Of re-
ouirements for voting and jury
service.
2. Integration of medical and
hospital facilities, with access
5eing determined simply on the
basis of need.
3. Availability of housing on the
basis of individual choice and
ability to pay, without legal or
extra a-legal restrictions aimed at
minority groups.
4. Integration of the congrega-
tions and institutions of those reli-
eious assemblies who accept the
brotherhood of man under God.
5. Enactment of federal far em-
plovment practices legislation.
6. Enactment of state fair edu-
cational practices legislation ban
ming discrimination in all educa-
tional institutions, private as we'll
as public.
The Southern Conference Educa-
tional Fund does not claim that its
program is unique; contrariwise, 1T
is convinced that its views have
been inherent in every progressive
step the South has taken. What
distinction there may be lies in the
SCEF's determination to achieve
it's goals expeditiously, and thus
forestall further human suffering
and waste.

PRESS COMMENTS

1t is now one week since
the Supreme Court handed
down it's decision of the
century" declaring uncon-
stitutional racial segregation
in the public schools. At
least a trial balance of it's
impact may be worth essay
ing for whatever contribu-
ton it might make toward
helping one sector of the ma
ton to understand another.
For here is a question to be
examined in parts:
The Negro: The Negro
press and other spokesman
have rejoiced, of course.
But they have not gloated.
They hail this as a second
Emancipation Proclamation,
but they show awareness
that neither that decree nor
the Fourteenth Amendment
brought with them auto
matically the substance of
equality.
The North and West: In
the border states missouri,
Kentucky, Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Del
alvarez public school segre-
cation has been required by
