ANT n
Lash Opponents
OF Basic Law

WASHINGTON A confer
ence recently held here by 73
National race leaders resulted
in the adoption Of a reply to
the 101 southern Senators and
House Representatives of Con-
gress who signed the March
11th so-called Declaration of
Constitutional Principles"
The reply reads in part:
The southern congressman
complain that education it
self is not mentioned in the
Constitution. This is not sur
prising. Most of the subjects
of state of federal action are
not mentioned in the Consti-
tuition, for it is the basic law
of the land, not a code of
laws.
The southern congressman
state that it was the intent
of the Congress that proposed
the Fourteenth Amendment
and Of the states which adop.
ted it that segregation in
education would be permitted
under that Amendment. The
United States Supreme Court
heard arguments on this
question from both sides in
the long litigated Education
cases" 1t concluded that
the evidence was unclear and
that the Court was therefore
left in the position Of having
to decide what the equal pro-
ection clause of the Four
teenth Amendment means in
the light of present day cir
cumstances and knowledge.
Indeed, there is substantial
evidence that the Fourteenth
Amendment was intended to
wipe out of itself and with
out legislation all caste dis
tictions in the laws Of the
several states. That it did not
do so reflected the power lof
judicial review, Interpretation
and decisions which enabled
the southern states to erect
d Gigint structure 0E laws re-
quiring racial segregation.
Contrary to the claims of
the southern congressman,
the Supreme Court has never
pronounced a doctrine of sep
arate but equal in the field
ofeducation. The case of Pies
sy VS., Ferguson, decided by
the Court in 1895, was con-
cerned only with intrastate
transportation. The case of
Gong Lum VS.. Rice also cited
by the southern congressman,
merely decided that the State
of Mississippi was within its
rights to classify a Chinese
girl as colored and to send
her to a colored school. Miss
Gong did not challenge the
states authority to establish
segregated schools.
In the light of present
world conditions and of Asian
feelings, the 101 southern
congressman who cited Gong
Lum VS.. Rice did our nation
a grave and reckless ,disser-
vice. Their action reflects an
ln-American and irresponsi-
BILE attitude.

MOTHERS DAY is April
18th, next Sunday. It is not
easy to write words adequate
ly honor Colored Mothers who
throughout American history
have kept alive the spirit of
religious faith in their chill
dren, enabling them to ad-
vance the cause Of a down.
trodden race in spite of great
obstacles. One mothers son
so inspired was Crispus At
tuckS. Others included Peter
Salem, Alexander Hamilton.
Fred Douglass, and William
Munroe Trotter.
%OEAb 1V1Gn1S Is every
pody'S business, but it has
been the. special business of
militant colored editors ever
since a New England college
graduate, John RusSwurm,
founded the fiery freedoms
Journal in 1927. Russworm
discovered that other papers
were not crusading adequately
for the colored American.
The same condition existed
In 1901 when another NE,
college grad, William Munroe
Trotter, founded the Boston
Guardian.
THE NAACP found It's me-
dium of expression only in the
militant colored weeklies
founded by men like Trotter,
Abbot, Vann, Murphy and
others who dedicated their
lives to carry on the faith Of
their parents. Thurgood Mar
shall, Roy Wilkins, DR..
Bunche, the late DR.. Mary
Rethune, and others were
aided in their opportunity and
progress by the colored press.
Without this medium, even
our war veterans would not
have received due credits.

A government established
by voluntary contract with
the governed could not serve
as custodian Of the natural
rights of men by giving some
citizens more rights than
others. Equal protection of
the laws has certainly never
meant that some men are
more equal than others.
Since the Fourteenth Am
endment, no state has had the
reserved right to deny any
person life, liberty or pro-
perty without due process Of
law or the equal protection
of the laws. or any citizen Of
the United States. the privi-
leges and rights of such cit
izenship. The dignity of Ann
erican citizenship is reflected
around the world; 1t surely
deserves equal respect in the
southern states of the United
States, else they degrade
themselves.
Since colored Americans
have always obeyed the law,
however interpreted, we are
shocked that 101 congressman
would place themselves in the
position of defying the Con.
stitution of the United States
government because they dis
agree with a decision Of the
United States Supreme Court.
Responsible officials of our
government cannot with inn
punity counsel defiance of our
laws. Lawful government is
the foundation of American
democracy and is essential to
the protection Of the rights
and liberties of all Americans.
Every public official has taken
an oath to uphold and defend
the Constitution of the United
States.
We note with relief that
the Congressman appeal to
the people Of their states to
lrcfrain from disnrderlv arc
lawless acts, but we hope that
more vigorous action win be
taken to insure the simple
and basic right of the citizen
to security of person. We
were aghaSt at the callous
murder of Emmett Till. We
strongly condemn the failure
Of the State Of Alabama to
protect Autherine Lucy.
We call on the United
States Attorney General to
prosecute the members of the
White Citizens Councils for
conSpiring to ''injure, oppress,
threaten and intinaidate cit
izens in the free enjoyment
Of rights and privileges se-
cured to them by the Consti-
tuition and laws Of the United
States" in violation of Title
18, section 241 of the United
States Criminal Code.

vities i'm America. As we've
mentioned previously, our
kolos and music are now
more popular than half a
century ago despite the
fact that the majority of
the dancers or musicians
never saw the old country.
Yes, truly, our national
culture and folklore is ex-
periencing a resurgence
and a popularity that Is a
modern day miracle.
It is obvious that our So
ciety is responsible for this
glorious achievement. With
out our lodges and nests to
serve as the suppliers of ta-
lent, moral and material as
sistance and then as the audi
ence there would be no kolo
clubs, no tamburitza orches-
tras, no choirs in America
today. Our Croatian culture
would be unknown in Amer
lea.
Admittedly the Union reaps
a rich harvest in good public
relations, good will and ex-
panding membership fr o m
these activities. BY the same
token however-he who loves
t h e s e cultural expressions
and partakes of their joys
and yet remains aloof- a
non-member is in reality get
ting a "free ride" It's high
time that he too paid his fare!
