SCAPEGOATS
OF FOREFATHERS
Racial segregation has been
terrible cross to bear over
30 years for 100000 colored
Americans now a part of this
nation, who remain scape-
goats of their forefathers. The
smouldering nationwide finan-
cial loan mortgage muddle
confronting a racial group, if
not blocked or investigated in
time will stampede millions
of Americans into untold
economic extremes at present
cannot be measured. Will gra-
dualiSm and moderation be
offered as panacea when
future politicl Stock-taking
nears a reality?
Rep. John w. Mccormick,
democratic majority leader of
the S4th Congress and plat
form chairman of the demo-
cratic national convention re-
solutions committee, also
former Gov. Paul A. Dever,
who greatly assisted writing
the civil-rightS plank in the
democratic platform, both of
Massachusetts, contrived and
contributed along with solid
South leaders to ALLEVIATE the
U. S. Supreme Courts doc
trine of civil-rights.
The above two MasSachu-
sets leaders buried political
responsibility of their Yankee
manhood when they kow-tow-
ed overwhelmingly to solid
South leaders under a dismal
clouded shadow to preserve
democratic party unity. VIII
the voters of Massachusetts,
ever understand why these
two exceptional Baystate lead
ers would veer so strongly to
the solid South, when in the
past this same contingent had
completely emasculated New
England's textile industry?

There are two detectives po-
litical minded colored citizens
Of the nation must arduously

stintingly to the COP, cam
paign fund, especially in states
where all votes are counted,
(2) stupendously boost the
NAACP financial chest for as
Surance of further racial de-
segregation victories. The fol-
lowing paragraph of the ma
tional convention democratic
platform on civil-rights des-
cribes how the solid South
dominated, gaining control of
the racial segregation issue.
Recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States relating to segregation
in publicly supported schools
and elsewhere have brought
consequences of vast import
ance to our nation as a whole
and especially to communities
directly affected. We reject
all proposals for the use of
force to interfere with the
orderly determination of these
matters by the courts.
A National States Rights
Convention, is scheduled to
convene in New Orleans, La,

Results Assured
This 1856 promise and pro-
nouncement of the Red Sox
has come about through the
recent Guardian conducted
conferences. 1t was not in
evidence in 1854 when Jackie
Robinson and others were We
toed at Fenway Park. 1t has
not been in evidence following
over decade of absence of
Tan Yanks from the Sox Var
Sity. 1t was not in evidence
when the Guardian started a
heavy concentrated crusade on
the issue two years ago, en-
listing the aid of daily Boston
and weekly national publica-
tionS some of which were sup
piled both data and pictures
by the Guardian unknown to
many of our readers). Among
those who have been working
with us have been such sports
veterans as Sam Lacy, Wen

Ideally. The Boston crusade
has actually won the support
of many others nationally, in
Guiding the writer's for the
AMP. So this has been the
really big story behind the
headlines and which was only
partially reported by the
Globes Bob Holbrook. In
spite of Bob's report the Red
Sox have only signed their
current two colored farm
hands this. year; after the
Guardian initiated the cru
SADIE. So what has resulted
in the conferences is that
Mr.. McKenney has openly adj
that mistakes have
been made in the past He
has publicly stated the Sox
will operate henceforth on a
better basis. The Sox admit
they enjoyed the conferences
with our Colored leaders and
the Guardian believes we
should not allow the Boston
Red Sox adequate time to
prove their newly stated poll
cy Certainly if that time is
not in the near future there
are organizations designed to
hold further discussions with
the Red Sox office and who
already hold the highest es-

pie called themselves religi-
GUS. The Trotters called them
hypocrites.
THESE DAYS of more en-
lightenment reveal that what
the Trotters were preaching
has even been upheld by the
U. S. Supreme Court while the
long tested and failure pro
gram of separate but equal"
credited to DR.. Booker T.
washington has been entirely
rejected. People laughed at
Trotter's "small power" fifty
years ago in comparison to
DR.. Washington's strong le-
gions. The jim crow program
had the support of Presidents
and Congressmenl
BOOKE WASHINGTON was,
I believe, a man miSquoted.
But nevertheless, the south
erners played UP his "separ-
ate-but-equal" wordage and
filled his Golfers with finan-
cial aid to help build the
structure DR.. Washington who
preached was millionaire by
comparison to the founders
and editors of the Guardian,
who departed this world with
out riches. Neither owned a
car. But they willed a rich
legacy to this Nation.
MONROE TROTTER the
poorly dressed man who walk
ed the streets of Boston with
out f1outing his Harvard de-
grees, was not "a0ainst col
ored enterprise". He simply
argued that a colored enter
prise did not have to be Jim
crow. A colored owned bust
ness should operate in any
part Of a city for all races,
creeds and colors. But at one
time people wanted to put up
entirely sim crow" hotels,
theatres, YMCA's, hospitals,
right here in Boston!
INTEGRATION will call for
sacrifices. Some will be bitter
for the closing down or chang
ing of former Jim crow or
CARNATIONS. But those who
contend that even the south
ern Tan Yank does not want
these changes need only study
the developments led by men
like Rev. Luther Martin King.
Or recall the statement of DR..
Mary Bethune saying she
would close her colored col
lege If it meant equal rights.
The Trotters sacrificed life!
