The Upheavals in the South

The upheayes in the south will have to be settled

in the constitutional rights OF all American people The
American Negroes have long since been ready Tor their
full citizenship, TO be realized and recognized.
The development in Montgomery and the case of
Miss Lucy Tuscaloosa only the beginnings OF much
of the uprising against discrimination and segregation
There is Negro leader in America who would
ever think of separating the union And when viewed
closely will be revealed that the nssence is for re-
spectfu unity of the United States without segregation
and discrimination And this should be important
enough to be taken under consideration by every citizen
who loves America and respects the union
What should be realized by all is that to treat the
present contention existing in the south too lightly
is a vast mistake The question arises, what's so hu-
initiating 10 the southern whites about Negroes wanting
TO sit down on a street car, bus when there are
seats after hard days work? And what's so hard
TO swallow about a Negro girl boy being educated
along with all others in the same schools, and on the
same premises?
