Negro Migration

There is widespread impression that the prob
lens of segregation and Indignation confined
to the Southern states
Such is not the case With Negroes flocking to the
North and to the West Coast the population pattern of
the United States is changing and the problems have
moved from the regional to the national stage.
In Chicago, for instance, the Negro problem is con-
sdered one of the two greatest challenges facing the
city
To clarity the situation, The Chicago Tribune assign
ed of its writer's Ro Ottley Negro author of books
on Negro problems to write series of 10 articles What
reporter Ottley found is revealing
Referring to the movement north of the Negro
Ottley said history records comparable move
ment within a country
World War quickened demand for Negro labor in
the North but until 1880 there only one northern
city with Negro population of 100000 Today there
II, with New York, Philadelphia and Chicago pushing
toward million EACH Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh
and ST. Louis have nearly half million. In 1880, Cali
fornia had only $4,000 Negroes. Today half million
live there mostly in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
One migration stream flowed up the eastern
board to New York. second went from Georgia. Ala
bama and Mississippi to Chicago and Detroit, and
third out of Louisiana and Texas poured into ST. Louis
and Chicago.
Nearly 100000 Negroes have moved out of the
South and the migration continues daily About one
third of the Negro population of the United States
lives in the North.
Ottey points out that the shock effect of this mi
grafton hardly be calculated, but the social and po
tcal implications are profound The lure of jobs and
both the fact and myth of northern equality" played
roles in the migration =.
Edwin C. Berry, executive director of the Chicago
UrDan League, says "CncagO mas the biggest negro
ghetto in the United States In that ghetto they have
segregated everything. There % segregated
public schools although this is due to residential
regation, not because of school board policy
Ottey reported that in the North IS to 80 per cent
of Negro children to schools where the student body
is completely predominantly Negro The child attends
the school nearest his home Thus migration has changed
the school patterns in the North.
What is the overall significance of this great mi
grafton?
To the South, the trend continues it means
lessening in the intensity of the Negro problem.
To the North, it means a mushrooming of problems.
To the American people, it is national problem.
So far no acceptable general solution has evolved

Leopoldville, Belgium Congo,
July 16-A special issue of the
AFRICAN Conscience" so far lit

Gently published a very important
manifesto which is likely to create
great stir in the Congo and in
Belgium.
Referring to the "Belgo-Congo-
lese community" the signatories
of this manifesto said that "many
Congolese fear that certain persons
may distort the idea of community
to use it as a check on the total
emancipation of the Congolese in
Belgium.
Commenting on this manifesto,
to which it seemed to attach
great Importance, the newspaper
Courier D'Afrique" said it might
well be the basis for a Congolese
party.
At present, Belgium officials
prohibit political activity among
Congo natives.

ready been alerted to be ready to
report for a 20-days session on
July %, the date set for the con-

The basic proposal in the pro-
gram is a revised school assign
ment law which would authorize
county school boards to assign
pupils to schools for which they
are best suited.
School boards could conduct uni
form tests to classify pupils on the
basis of intellectual ability and
scholastic proficiency so they would
be placed in schools with other

Bus Lines Plans

Tallahassee, Fla, July 17-Tal-

ignored an announcement that bus

reaffimed their determination to
hold out for fully integrated seat

No mention was made at a mass
meeting of the Negro Inter-Civic
Council of plans announced by the
Cities Transit Company to rein

The company halted operations in
the wake of financial losses caused
by the Negro boycott. The boycott
is protest against segregated
seating.
Instead, council members said
they would keep on providing their
own transportation by means of
car pools. They took up collec-
ton toward purchase of station
wage rs to serve the Negro COM
munity.
The transit company announced
July IL it will resume service over
routes to be determined by sur
vey of potential riders. If Negroes
are not willing to ride, the routes
will serve white neighborhoods

Words OF Increasing Wisdom

as being among the worlds leading scholars.
On the subject of Negro schools in Mydals study of
the American Race Problem published under the title,
An American Dilemma we find DR. Dubois saying:
Theoretically, the Negro needs neither segregated
schools nor mixed schools What he needs is Education
What he must remember is that there is no magic,
either mixed schools in segregated schools mixed
school with poor and unsympathetic teachers, with hos
tile opinion and teaching concerning black folk is bad
segregated school with ignorant paceholders made
quate equipment poor salaries and wretched housing is
equally bad Other things being equal the mixed school
is the broader natural basis for the education of
all youth 1t gives wider contacts it inspires greater
seconfdence and surpasses the nferiority complex.
But other things seldom equal and in that case,
Sympathy knowledge, and the Truth outweigh all that
the mixed school offer
With the growing bitterness of the opposition to
negraon of the public Schools and the evident desire
give equal educational opportunity to Negro students
in the South, to the thinking Southern Negro whose
future hinges mutual goodwill between the races,
the above words of Dr. Dubois taking increasing
wisdom.

So The Buses Stopped
From: The Tallahassee Democrat

Tallahassee today is a city without bus service.
1t is in that position because minority used an
economic boycott lever to force it's unyieldng desires
further and faster than majority is willing to 60.
The last offer by the City Commission seemed fair
1t would have set aside for Negroes every seat ex
cept one buses serving the principal Negro sections
and would have given that uncomfortable triple seat
the which got to it first It would have removed any
city restrictions against employment of Negro bus rv
and set up interracia committee to- work out f
ture problems
Such proposal would have stopped just an inch
short of Indignation of seating buses which carry
most of the Negro passengers-the only buses that
really crowded.

New Avenue OF Thinking
From: The Los Angeles Tribune

Dr. James H. Robinson, Presbyterian minister who
is probably the most Travelled clergyman excluding Billy
Graham, scored American leadership for not utilizing
"nonwhites Negroes, we presume) to carry goodwill
to the nonwhte world
Imagine what Russia would do if she had pool of
5000 900 coored people within her boundaries, he said
in an interview "She would send thousands of them
agents abroad to where they could be listened to
better than any white.
and how many has nation sent? Not one
Dr. Robinson recalls his amazemena at discovering
how little Americans abroad know and said about the
progress have made in race reations-and putting
everything in its proper perspective it has been sgnf
cant achievement
Considering that three-fourths of the worlds popu-
aton belongs to the socaed colored 18OO
600 900 persons-the learned minister has point.
1t seems logical that Africans could more clearly
understand the blessings of democracy members of the
same racial strain carried the message to them. Con-
Siderng the abuses too CauscaSlans OF many ma
tionates have heaped upon them that may be more
trustfu of American Negroes.
Negro emissares sent to Africa, India, Ethiopia,
Afghanistan and what's left of China would give lie
to the Communist line that persons of dark skin i'm
America trusted with positions of responsible
ty given humane treatment.
The TRANSMISSION, at worst, would be painless and at
best would create an untapped of goodwill this
country before enjoyed in the often referred
to under developed of the world
Significantly DR.. Robinson noted that churches
as lethargc the state in using the abilities. Out of
some 5000 American missionaries in Africa alone, fewer
than 10 Negroes-outside of Liberia.
Thus, noted world traveller has opened a new
avenue of thinking. What will become of it is the i'm

Paul showed his approval
When he became condemned with
all his
Degrees and diplomas
His soul had never been freed.
Paul saw his mistake one day
When he was knocked out of his
senses
1t was not his letter or all degrees
He saw he had never been born
again.
Paul said 81 was the least of the
Apostles
Until l knew God in departing of
my sins
Now | have labored to lift up
Christ
| am as great as any man."
The letter was what made Paul a
fool,
But the love of God made him wise
He was blind with sin
He didn't know right, but the
love of God
Opened PauPs eyes.
The Bible says, when you think
You are wise you are a fool"
So wise men came by the spirit Of
God and a stiff neck came by the
school.
Wise men are born into this world
Fools come by leaps and bounds
You can own everything earth
processes,
And fail to own that Heavenly
Crown.
What good is wealth without Gods
1t is dark day sooner or later
You are going to be running and
hiding,
But He'll will be your fate.
Wealth will get you everything on
earth
From green house to an airplane
Unless you have been born again,
You are just one arm sinner just
the same.
If you have large bank account,
And no love of God to guide you
When death comes for you to go,
You will ride that little black train.

Get all your business fixed right
You better set you house in order
Because the train may be in to-

But the Negro leaders wanted all or nothing-ful
Indignation of bus seating and guarantee that Negro

They refused to yield to the first class American
system of compromise to solve serious controversy
We believe they erred in that just as they erred in
choosing boycott instead of more democratic processes

What have they gained? Nothing!
They have deprived all the people of Tallahassee OF

They have caused the worst nterracia bitterness IN

They have alienated the sympathy of many white
