is safe to say that legally, Negro
lawyers are in the big league
with the greatest of the great!
This writer regarded the per-
formanee Of the NAACP law
yers as the most stirring argu-
ment for Negro Indignation. The
Indignation for which they were
arguing had its greatest justi-
fication in the competency and
proficiency of these lawyers
themselves.
In 1874 when the first telegram
had been sent over the system be-
tween Baltimore and Washington,
it read, What hath God
wrought ?" Wen might a similar
message have been sent over the
communication system of the ma
ton as Negro lawyers stood be-
fore the bar of the Supreme court
and pleaded for justice for a race
that has qualified for full-fledged
citizenship by every count laid
down as requirement.
But we must not lose sight of
the fact that fine legal pleading
bereft of character and perfor-
nance cannot guarantee us en-
trance into the Promised Land.
There is also something the hum
blest of Negroes can do to help the
cause. We must never forget that
no amount of argument can atone
for us if we are vulgar and pro-
fame and murderous and indolent
and ragged and mean and jealous
and goddess.
Nobody wants to integrate
loud, noisy and shiftless and
smelly and unkempt people
however loudly them may pro-
test and contest. The slouchy,
smelly and unclean Negroes a
board our common carriers can
undo all the good that our fine
lawyers may do as they plead
for us at the bar.
Let us all plead at the lodge, in
the church and school and in the
press!

AZ lDlo WEiJtT commended
argued at Columbia, South Caro-
lima, the NAACP lawyers won
their case against as fine a bat
terry of lawyers as were possibly
ever assembled In the South
The white South had good lawyers
but bad case, while the NAACP
had fine lawyers and a good case
and they won going away.
AS fine as have been the plead
ings Of the Negro attorneys be-
fore the bar these pleading have
been as nothing as compared with
the achievements of Negroes. The
irrefutable argument for full
Pledged citizenship is the Negroes
record of achievement against
dreadful odds. Without this re-
cord the pleas of our able attor-
neys would be even as sounding
brass and tinkling symbal alluded
to by Paul in his Psalm of Love.

ship and, II Is here that the Ne
gro has fortified himself for
the fight he is stubbornly max
ing to the Promised Land OF
citizenship: and 1t is just that
that disarms those who would
stay his advance.
If somehow the Negro had been
found wanting when weighed in
the balances of character and per-
Torrance. his traducers would be
heartened immeasurably. But
wherever the Negro has been Civ
en- a chance he has delivered.
Herein is his greatest claim to in
tegration.
Too long have we emphasized
the Negroes athletic prowess to
the almost total exclusion Of his
intellectual and moral exploits. We
have emphasized the fisti C
achievements of a Joe Louis and
the football ascndncy of a Buddy
Young and the jockey riding of
"Shortenin Bread" and more re-

Jesse Owens Of Olympic fame
thrilled the heart of a race with
his athletic exploits and his ster-
ling manliness and demeanor. We
worshipped the shrine of his
glory.
But the recent Supreme Court
hearing in Washington must sure
ly give another turn to our racial
admiration and must further con-
vince the world that the end of
Negro greatness is not to be
found in our proverbial musical
and athletic abilities. The superb
way our battery of Negro lawyers
managed their case before the
Supreme court indicates in an I'M
mistakable way that intellectually
the Negro has attained major pro-
portions.
In other words those Negroes
who represented us at Washington
in the recent hearings demonstrate
ed that on all counts Negroes are
asking no quarter. Negroes have
played in the big league baseball
and football, they have made the
grade in things musical. but il
there has ever been any doubts
as to their legal prowess all such
doubts have been removed: and IL

Best day he ever had!
