II was not until ie47 under the
Truman administration, when the

received accrediation. The Negro
public was very proud OF this pro-

Then came the Eisenhower re-
gime This reporter continued
bringing problems confronting Me-
gro people 10 the attention Of the
President Many times she got
some quick reaction Many other
times the President replied that
he was not familiar with the par
tiCular issue.
Many things came TO the Presi-
dents attention that he was not
aware Of, although correspondence
on the subject had been sent 10 the
White House by organizations or
individuals. Sometimes the issues
were summarized in a telegram,
sometimes they were included in
some organizations resolutions
and sometimes they were detailed
In a letter II became apparent
that these messages never reach

the case that his aides became
embarrassed and apparently began
a concerted effort 10 stop the now

The first effort was made by an
attempt to take away from an

she was paid. This disqualifies her

Montgomery Boycott Has
Business Yin A Mes"

Montgomery, Ala.-(CNC)-The
still-going-on boycott of the city's
busSeS by Negroes has business
of all kinds in a other. Shops
that are near the bus stops re-
port "almoSt no business" since
the boycott began.
But the city's business aren't the
only ones to suffer. 1t seems that
shows scheduled to enter the city
are trying to get out of the dates.
For Montgomery is a dead" town
in many respects.
The touring Holiday On Ice"
is trying hard to be released of its
engagement March 20-24th. 1t
plays at the Coliseum which is on
the outskirts of town and thus is
very dependent on all kinds of
transportation for success.
Usually its Montgomery stand is
4 very prosperous one, yet if it
has to go through its date now,
it doesn't expect much of a crowd
at all in the tension-ridden city.
The Ice Show isn't the only one
suffering. All theatres are at
stand still.

Negroes. The ultimate end of the
boycott is not yet. Who knows?
Negroes all over the world
might well be- proud of these
brave and courageous people in
Montgomery who in the face of
grave obstacles and intimidationS
have come to realize that our
greatest glory is not in never fall
ing, but in rising every time we
fall. In this age of transition it is
hoped that as the boycott con-
tnueS the Old South will come to
realize that the old concepts of
strategy have come to a dead-end.
Together-Negro and white-we
must initiate the comprehensive
pursuit of new ideas and pro-
cedureS necessary to carry us
through the next two or three
dangerous decades. The situation
in Montgomery is encouraging.
1t is gaining momentum.

Washington, d. C.-(CNS)-The

torney Thurgood Marshall with
5000 new members on March 18th

rally. For more than month the
slogan has been Bring Thurgood

a record breaking membership
drive has been carried on with
the two Alabama cases adding ex-
ira impetus to the drive.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1956-03-10

We know of no more fitting
complement to the drama now
unfolding in Montgomery, Ala
bama with the mass bus boycott
going into its fourth month with
larger numbers swelling its ranks
daily. The year 1856 is already
bringing new ambitions, new hope
and new plans for better living
to a people determined to be re-
cognized as an integral part of
their community. 1t is hoped they
will not be overcome by the
darkened hours of despair-but
rather draw upon the strength
which comforted them in the de-
ISOLATION of other times.
Next TO the ballot the boycott
is the most effective weapon the
Negro has with which to fight his
prosecutors in this field of battle.
1t is well that it he forcefully i'm
plemented by all the moral and
spiritual incentives he has at his
command. Is.
AS the scroll of time unfurls
this drama being enacted in the
heart of the Confederacy-coupled
with the recent incident in TuS-
caloosa-the Negro in Alabama is
making history. History of sort
never before in the annals of
southern record. Threatened eco
nomic sanctions-invol1ed out
moded laws and threats of vio-
lence - have not deferred him.
This is manifest unity and honesty
of purpose strengthened by faith
In the righteousness of their cause,
in which leaders and followers
alike can justly take pride.
In the broad field of life's bat
ties no victory is won without
tremendous sacrifice. This case
will be no exception. AS one
woman SO aptly explains it: "My
feet are tired but my soul is rest
ing. This is the spirit of the good
people of Montgomery which
caused leaders to place effective
ness of the boycott at $50 at the
close of the thirteenth week.
1t is also reliably reported that
the boycott is costing the bus
company an average loss of bust
ness to the tune of 5000 per day.
Montgomery'S Negroes comprise
more than One-third of the city'S
1884, 900 population. The arrest of
some ll3 persons, including 26
ministers, on charges they violat-
ed the States anti-boycoH law
only served as an impetus to spur
it along. This is a great oppOr-
tunity for these people to tree
themselves from prescription. 1t
is also grand object lesson. 1t
is gaining momentum !I!i!
This boycott. which started as a
protest to the arrest of Mrs. Rosa
Louise Parks, a seamstress, last
December l, has great overtones
and its effect can be far-reaching.
1t will be recalled that this same
passive resistance started in Chi
cago some years ago when the
Chicago Whip" began it's cam
paign with the slogan: Don't buy
where you can't work. -brou chit
about a tremendous awakening
throughout the North and West
and opened thousands of jobs to
