Baptist Church, reputedly the larg-
est Negro congregation in the
world, turned thumbs down on the
organization of interracial groups
to work towards the solution of the
southern race problem.
DR.. Jackson made his statement
regarding the organization of in
ter-racial groups in the south at a
press conference with group of
white and Negro newspaper men
here Monday afternoon shortly af-
ter his arrival here by plane to de-
liver the Commencement Address
for the 10th Commencement pro-
gram of Jackson College, held at
the College Park Auditorium Mon
day night. Asked by Percy Greene,
Editor and Publisher of the Jackson
Advocate, Mississippi's leading Ne
gro Weekly Newspaper, "Do you
think this racial problem can be
solved, or start made towards its
solution, without biracial organic
cations working at the local levels
DR.. Jackson said, "Do you want
the naked truth? and then said
flatly l do not see any point III
members of the two races sitting
down to discuss what they already
know.
DR.. Jackson followed this state
ment by saying that the problem
of the south could be eased by ex-
tending the right to vote to the
Negro citizens of the south.
In addressing the more than 200
graduates, and crowd that filled
the College Park Auditorium to
capacity, DR.. Jackson called upon
the graduates, and generally to Ne
groes everywhere to prove by the
demonstration of their ability and
character their claim and assertion
that Negroes are great people.
Calling upon them to quit getting
mad because other people don't
want to give YOU what is theirs ne
told the graduates, in the language
of the scripture, to go up into the
mountains and find the wooded
places and cut out something for
yourselves.
He said further that spiritual
and economic independence are the
greatest needs of the Negro IN
meeting the problems of the pres
ent as we'll as the opportunities OF
the future.
