The American dream has not really been
ours. Our visibility has been limited to the
point where we could hardly realize when the
ceiling was lifted. But this was the plan of a
majority who had sought to keep us forever
ignorant of our own strength and potential
We know better now, and it's up to us to so
broaden the horizons of our children that the
American principle of individual initiative and
freedom will work for them, too.
So, while we glory in our past history,
we need to make a little history, too, There's
no better way to start than in our own COM
munities. II would be safe to say that there
is hardly a town or city in the United States
today where the Negroes life is so circum-
scribed that Negro parents cannot give their
children some view of life beyond their own
back yard. We can offer them Inspiration
from the past and from the present. But we
need also to keep up their courage and boil
ster their egos by setting an example for them
to follow in boldly charting n course for them

local races. The local and cooperative aspects
of the organization are its distinctive features,
Naturally the national organization supplies
inspiration, guidance, principles and trained
personnel because of the wealth of talent and
experience upon which 1t may draw thruout
the nation. In Little Rock, statements by the
founder, the late Mrs. Amelia B. Ives, and
early presidents and executive secretaries, en-
phasize local interracial cooperation In local
problems and progress In industrial relations,

JUDGED, anti-social and above all, anti-Negro.
Much evidence has been cited to substantiate
the claim. In this instance, however, Mr..
Wilson acted like a broad, open+ninded per-
son who believes in fairness to all.
It is good to have a Secretary Of Defense
who Is free from racial prejudice. too. When
] was IN the service ! always had a horror
Of being the victim Of the monster race pre-
JUDGE. I always felt that in any emergency,
Negro soldiers would not be as well protect

groes would get the most dangerous Jobs to

pens in civilian life, and in the past that Is
what happened In the armed forces. Where
segregation reigns supreme, there can be no

Wilson, ! feel that my offspring have a fairer

What Is There to Hide?-
y 8. s. Taylor

Reporters and some others were request
"a TO leave a meeting OF the Urban League
board recently.
A prominent minister objected to an
other minister's entering a meeting OF the
ministerial alliance repeatedly called to consid-
or Urban League matters because he claim
Cd that the second minister was a member OF
the press. and that representatives OF the
press were not wanted.
Why all this secrecy? What is 1t that
needs to be hidden from the general public?
What Ii II that the brother of the sacred
cloth was afraid to have a fellow minister
hear because of his connection with the press?
l. there something so wrong with the opera
tion Of a public organization that 1t cannot
be allowed to get to the public? Must an or
aanization which appeals to the local pubic
for membership and support. which holds pub
Lie meetings periodically. and which is a
member Of the community chest and council
shield its proceedings from the eye OF the
public to which 1t appeals? Should the board
OF such an organization take to itself the
power to consider the designations of one
third Of its membership elected by the : : or
We might say : : general membership OF the
league at q public meeting? Would it not
look better for the resignation to be received
In the same manner as the elections? Especi-
any II the designations and absences are SO
numerous that fewer than half of the group
might BE- present to act?
At the present time. the community holds
two active fnterracial organizations-the Ma
tiopal Association for the Advancement of
Colnred People and the Urban League of
Greater Little Rock. Both Of the organiza-
tions have national and local faces. The pol
icy Of the NAACP has seemed to stress the
attainment Of various citizenship standings
thru public protest and legal action. Since a

Let's Make A Little History Too
BY Olive a. Adams

This is Negro History Week, and before
the time is out, there will have been many a
speech made about how far we have come
and what we have accomplished in less than
100 years. School children will be proudly
recounting our success in many fields of
endeavor. Many a sermon will be preached,
many an editorial written, and fitting tributes
will be paid to the stalwarts who recognized
no barriers even in slavery, but helped to
break their own chains and carved out a life
for us to follow
We have every reason TO be proud of the
history Of the Negro in America; but history
always points a way for the future, and bids
us do as well as our predecessors. In this re-
gard. perhaps some Of those hardy souls who
have gone before us would not be too proud
OF many of US who, though unshackled ply
sically. still handcuff ourselves by keeping
our minds too narrow and our dreams too
small. Though armed with physical freedom.
a good education, and rights guaranteed us by
the Constitution Of the United States, millions
OF us are still bound within the confines of
our own limited thinking, so that even when
opportunity knocks we are not always ready
II seems a lot Of us are still kicking and
beating ON the door screaming "let me in"
while those on the inside might well reply.
