plan is to issue shares in the new
building which it is hoped each
working adult church member
will buy. Each share carries a
pledge of 81 week for $50 weeks
or an eventual sum of $500 over a
period of three years.
Youth shares will also be issued
which carry with them a promise
of 25 cents a week for the same
period.
The commission on finance is
made UP of the following: Her
bert S. Hyatt, chairman, and Mrs.

sill Burdette. and Rev. A. Dean
Kesler.
A special committee consisting
of Mrs. Herbert Hyatt, ST., Mrs.

NEGRO PROGRESS REPORT 1856

Chicago The annual Negro
progress report, published each
year by EBONY, is featured in
the January issue of the maga-
zine. AS in the previous years,
school integration was the best
yardStick by which to measure
Negro progress in 1856. Regret
ably, figures showed that the
classroom desegregation, which
moved at a gallop in 1855, had
slowed to a trot a year later.
In : November, 1856, roughly
100000 Negroes were attending
mixed schools in the South.
However, a breakdown of the
figures show that fewer than
$4,000 of these entered mixed
schools in 1856. Furthermore, an
estimated. 100000 Negroes still
are attending completely seq
regated schools and five states
(Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina) do
not admit Negroes to white pub
lie schools at all.
Not content to resist the Ne
gro's climb toward full citizen
ship, hostile whites in the South
struck at the very nerve center
of the civil rights forces by out
lawing the NAACP in Texas,
Louisiana and Alabama.
On the credit side of the civil
rights ledger, perhaps the most
dramatic incident on Negro pro-
gresS occurred last March when
the San Antonio (Texas) city
council, unanimously passed an
ordinance forbidding segrega-
ton in all public facilities.
Among other advances record
ed were: The U. S. Supreme
Court wiped out bus segregation
in the South; Texas Democrats
brought it's first Negro delegate
(and the first from the South
to the party's National Conven-
ton in Chicago; When the CIO
and AFL merged, two Negroes
were appointed as vice-presi-
dents; Assistant Secretary Of
Labor, j. Ernest wilkins, was
elected president of the Meth
odists Judicial Council, the high
est post a layman can hold;
Negro entertainers and athletes
were sent overseas by our state
department on goodwill tours;
and, us. Air Force Major Oscar
J. Chapman, former president
of Delaware State College, was
appointed deputy director of the
propulsion research unit at the
huge Chanute Field in Illinois.

It had a sincere ring.

it had a sincere ring.
Because he is a thoughtful
boy, I think that, as an old
teacher, might point out what
I consider some fallacieS in his
logic. In, the first place, the i'm
morality Of slavery, which no
thinking American would queS-
ton today, is not a matter of
North VS.. South; nor of whether
the slave trader or. the planta-
ton slave owner was the greater
social reprobate. Both had to
wait for the Judgment 1of his
tory. Neither realized at the
time the. enormity of his acts
and neither would listen to those
men and women of his day who,
beyond their generation, were
sensitive to the violation of hu-
man and individual rights of
persons who were ignorant,
primitive, helpless and physical
ly different, but who were hu--
man beings and children of God.
In the second place, believe.
me, as Southern Negro who
knows, integration has not
brought about more hard feel
ingS between Negroes and
whites" There is new anger
among the whites as result
of the court decisions that
threaten to end their tyranny
over the Negroes, but Negroes.
have always keenly resented the
tyranny of the Southern whites
Like the HungarianS, Ameri-
can Negroes have always wanted
the freedoms enjoyed by other
Americans = freedom to vote
political choices, to receive the
same quality Of education as
other citizens, to earn a living =
in terms of ability to produce,
to buy homes where they can
afford them, to travel in the
same comfort as other Ameri-
cans, to be accommodated for
food, recreation, etc., where
other citizens of their same eco
nonic status are accommodated.
Believe me, the bitterness of
the American Negroes over be-
ing deprived of these rights is
no greater than it has been, or
than it will be until they win
their rights to be firSt-claSS
citizens Of their native country
Negroes have never doubted that
they were within their rights
in desiring this, and seeking it
through the courts of the ma
ton.
In the third place, Larry
should realize that when he
speaks of what the South wants,
he cannot discount the fact
that the Negroes are as much
a part of the South as are the
whites. Into the development of
the South that exists today has
gone the blood and sweat, the
lives, the labor, the sacrifice,
the hopes, the intelligence, and
the love and pride of home, of
Negroes for some centuries Of
slavery and nearly century
since slavery. No fair-minded
American can deny lthiS.

FACING THE FACTS
w. A. Robinson

Writing letters to the editor
is one way of trying to propa-
gandize. It is also a way of try
ing to counter propagandize.
The newspapers are generally
quite fair to all shades of opin-
ion. For those of the Arizona
Suns readers who failed to see
the letter of Is year old Larry
Blakely in the December 9 Re-
public, am running both his
letter and my reply in this
column. Larry'S letter-followe
by my letter.,
Editor, The Arizona Republic:
I believe one thing that every
body,overlooks is how. the slaves
got here. The South did not have
any shipping to speak of. The
slave traders were New Eng
landers, the English, and the
Dutch. If it wasn't for the fact
that the New EnglanderS had
no use for slaves, they most
likely would have them now.
You can't hold something over
defeated people, keep reminding
them about it and then make
the people admit they are wrong.
I am very much for integration,
but I think everybody is going
about it in the wrong way. When
a step for the better is taken,
the papers headline, Another
Big Step Taken Against Segre-
CATION" This is cutting the
South down all over again. Po-
litical parties make their main
issues out of segregation, trying
to win the support of both sides.
The way the parties play it up, I
get the idea that sometimes they
would really like it to be a big
problem for while longer just
so they would gain more sup
porters by looking like freedom
loving people. =
Peoples ways can't be changed
overnight. believe the only way
this problem is going to be COM
pletely solved with no future
hard feelings is by doing it slow
ly but surely and letting it take
it's own time. This method might
be slower, but I think it would
lead to more lasting good. The
way it has been going, it might
take forever. The loud and Bit
ter discussion about segregation
has brought about more hard
feelings between Negro and
white than existed before.
We should realize we are not
dealing with children. You can
spank a child and change, his
mind, but the South is too old
for that. The only way they will
change their minds is through
understanding and doing it
themselves.

from mink to American broad
