1t proves the old moral that when

Handicapped Urged to
Register for Employment

With the approaching National
Employ the Physically Handicap
ped week, this serves as an APP
peal for unemployed handicapped
Negroes of Dade County to con-
tact the Florida State Employ
ment Service.
Since the week of October 7th
through October 18th has been de-
signated as the special week of
activities for the handicapped
persons, the Florida State En-
ployment Service requested the
registration of those interested in
seeking assistance in securing
employment. There might be
those also who will need rehabili-
tation assistance from other agen-
cies. These too are requested to
register with us so that they
might receive the proper agency
referral.
Although special emohasis will
be during the above week, it is
the plan of the National Employ
the Physically Handicapped Com
mittee and the Florida State En-
ployment Service to continue this
special Service to handicapped
persons throughout the year as
this has always been the policy
of the Florida State Employment
Service.
The address Of the Florida State
Employment Service is, S63 NV
18th Street. Miami, 36, Florida.

AMERICA, 1856
BY ANDY RAZAF-for AMP

While our minds are forever on
Foreign Afhsirs
We are blind to what goes on
here,
So millions of Colored Americans,
In the Land they hold so dear,
Are treated like traitors and
enemies,
Deprived OF Their Well-Earned
Rights;
Through Jim Crow, Violence,
Threats And Fear,
By Their Fell w-Ameridan
Whites.
Though the Highest Court In Our
Land Is Defied
And the Forces OF Hate Pre-
vailed;
Both parties, when writing their
civil rights plank
Surrended To Bigots And Failed.
How long will Our Country's Con-
science Sleep?
And Our Boosted Democracy;
Make The 'Commies" Laugh And
The Angels Weep?
Dear God, Must This Always Be?
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1956-09-22

would feel glorified in lording it
over an unfortunate fellowman.
Then too it must be recognized
that the Negro is a creature of
the white mans creation. He is
just what the white man made
him. If the white man had pro-
duced a fine creature the Negro
would have been finer. But to
create him to an inferior situa-
ton and environment and then
hate him for growing true to
type; to degrade him and spurn
him in his degradation, is brutal.
And somewhere down the line of
Time the nation must pay an
awful price. Stoning the prophets
was no worse than degrading ones
fellowman and hating him in his
degradation. Somewhere down the
road is some bitter cup that must
be drained to the dregS.
The current disorders are an
embarrassment to the nation
throughout the world; it is an
embarrassment to the Church of
God that has preached the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
of man for nearly 5000 years. 1t
is an embarrassment to the name
of the thousands who have laid
them down to die upon the CORY
field of battle that this nation
unto God might live. 1t is an en-
barrassment to those nobly-in-
clined souls of the interracial
fraternity who have held aloft
the torch of good will as a solu-
ton of the problem. Tomorrow
will he brighter day. Behind
the clouds the sun still shines.

Between The Lines
Our Embarrassing Inter-racial Situation

Truly has II been written, that
a city set on a hill cannot be hid.
The great strength and glory that
have come to our great country
have set il on the hill Of world
prominence; and it is no wonder
that the most insignificant do
ingS in this country are chron-
icled in the uttermost parts of
the earth. Strangely enough, and
unfortunately, within recent years
our prestige is not growing.
Ever since World War /, when
the Negro was called upon to
fight in the war to make the world
safe for democracy, and was
forthwith denied the democracy
thousands of his fellow racemen
died to save, there has been
gradual decline in the prestige OF
the United States throughout the
world. 1t is true many of the ma
ions have paid a kind of lip adj
miration to our country, but such
admiration was correlated with
the hand-out from exchequer
Many of these nations have re-
ceived our financial favors, and
have since renowned their pledg-
eS of comfy and accord.
What is transpiring in the ma
ton today is doing nothing to re-
deem the fair name of our nation
in the councils Of the world. Our
current interracial strife is Serv-
ing as an ugly scar upon the fair
face of our country'S reputation.
The open defiance of the Supreme
Court of the United States is cur
rently becoming a serious mat
ter. With the National Guard to
keep down riots and rioting and
rioters, we have an unsavory
picture to present to the world
in the matter of democracy. There
are many signs that unless things
are dealt with forthrightly, there
are going to be some ugly even
Qualities. With United Senators
urging massive resistance" and.
with Southern legislatures en-
acting represive laws to meet the
situation, we have a sorry spec
tacle and situation that make the
heart sick to behold and contem-
plate.
The evident belief that the SUI
preme Court must rule to suit
the notions and prejudiceS of only
one section of the nation is head
ing the the nation into worlds of
trouble. The proud citizens and
patriots of this great nation are
embarrassed with the unfolding
of events such as we have in
Sturgis, Kentucky. Could the COM
munists wish for fairer fortune?
Could the critics of the church
