They must take Leadership and
point the right goals, and show
ne paths to take.
Educated Negroes, 1 believe,
therefore, have a double respon-
sibility. They have achieved come
measure of success, even in
segregated society, through
struggle and hardship, and by
overcoming, with great determine
ton, the barriers of Jim Crow.
They are the ones who know best
the status and position of their
own people. They know, too, that
in the South at least, any adj
vancement and betterment of
their race mutt come primarily
through their own efforts. Even
though it is an added duty, then,
they have a grave responsibility,
and must assume it.

SECOND STEP

Therefore, II is clear that il
some Negroes do understand the
meaning of freedom and first class
citizenship, it becomes their re-

to bring the meaning home to
other members of their race. In
our democratic society, educated
men and women have a response

SUCCESS CAN BE USED
WISELY

Negroe1 who have achieved
success no matter in what field,
whether it is in business, educa-
ton, a profession or otherwise,
should use this success in a con-
tructive manner. Unfortunately,
in a minority group, succecS or
failure is sometimes magnified
out of its correct proportion, in
relation to other groups in aSo-
ciety. Thus, it seems that
agrees must assume double re-
sponsibility for their actions and
achievement. First because the
majority group (whites) are
watching closely and judging them
maybe more closely than others,
because of the indignation isSue)
and secondly, because the adj
vancement of their race depends
a great deal on their actions. At
ter integration is firmly establish
ed, / think that such close Scrut-
my will level off and Negroes and
whites will eventually treat each
other just as fellow members of
the American family, no more,
and no les.
Until that time, however, Me-
groes and whites will eventually
treat each other just as mellow
members of the American family
no more and no less.
Until that time, however, Ne
groes who are educated or are
otherwise in a position to accept
constructive leadership, must do
so. Thi-. Is a grave necessity for
the advancement of the race, be-
cause success or failure of inte-
grafton will depend in large mea-
sure upon their leadership. / have

This week and the week follow
ing I will try to give some ans
wers or rather, indicate some
paths to take that will eventually
Lead to first class citizenship. Re-
Gently I criticized the apathy and
Indifference of many Negroes in
the Miami area, as well as the
pre-ence among us of Uncle Tom
and his relatives. This week can
do no more than try to give some
constructive suggestions to fol-
low. This is Reality-not First
Glass Citizenship.
The first suggestion is for Ne
groeS to try to face reality in at
tempting to find out their true
status and position here in the
iami area. / believe the follow
ing yardstick of questions will
truthfully measure their freedom.
/. Can you live any place you
want, and in any home you can
afford?
2. Can you send your children
to the school neare-t you, or send
them for advanced studies to any
university in Florida?
3. Can you stop at any hotel,
motel or rooming house you wish
in Florida?
4. Can you eat in any restau-
rant or public eating place you
wish?
S. Can you travel by public
means of transportation (except
air travel) in comfort, without
discrimination because of your
color, any place you wish to go in
the state of Florida?
6. Can you attend any church
in which you with to worship any
place in the state of Florida.
I could go on with the list, but
I believe this well be sufficient
for my point. In all honesty, if
you can answe.:, the above QueS-
tons with Eyes" then you are a
first class citizen. However - If
the answer is mo" what are you
then?
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1957-06-29
JIM CROW STILL LIVES HERE

OF course the answer is obvious
you are a second class citizen.
No matter if some of us look
through roce-colored glasses once
in a while, when we take them
off, we are still looking at j i'm
Crow, in all his ugly manifesto
tions. So, no matter what Negroes
may think they have in Miami,
first class citizenship is certain
ly not one of the things to be in
cluded on any list.
Through the hard and terrible
years leading to the present, Ne
groeS have wanted freedom, and
have long carried the burden OF
slavery and segregation in their
hearts and souls as well as lit
eral burden physically. They have
prayed, dreamed and longed to
break out of this prison Of segre-
CATION that surrounds them. But
unfortunately there are many re-
strictions for them besides the
actual law and statutes that bind
them in the Southern statec.
Because of heir background and
history, and psychological effect
of the years of Jim Crow, many
Negroes just don't know what to
do about getting freedom, or how
to go about it. Some know, but
don't care; others are too apa-
thetic and weighed down by years
of segregation to try to break
away from the status quo. How
ever, the majority, never having
known full freedom, do not know
or understand what firLt class cit
izenship means, even though they
dream that it will soon come to
them.

of Commerce,
DIR. Stephens and many other
departments which go to make
our village a place of respect
and honor.
Everybody has the right to
choose what church he attends.
He can 60 into the city and sup
port "a church there or he can
refuse to support church any
where. But I have been ques-
tioning the reasoning behind a
person who lives in one COM
munity and supports the church
in another community. I am
wondering if it is the wisest ste"
to take? Charity begins at home
and spreads abroad. When we
moved into suburbia, did you
keep the same milkman, bread
man, mailman, barber, grocery
store and neighbors? Can you
make the same kind of contribu-
ton to your former community
that you were making when you
lived there? That rose bush that
you moved with you, did you
set it out upon arrival and now
it is growing and producing
flowers for you to enjoy? All
the live and beautiful plant life
that you brought with you
which you did not set out, water,
and work are they not dead now?
If we love our community and
want to see it grow into healthy
and wholesome rlace to live,
contribute your time and talents
in the community in which you
live. Join the church of your
choice and support it to the best
of your ability. The church is the
greatest institution on earth.
Like beacon light from Heaven
she proclaims the truth that
makes men free and gives them
the direction needed for a world
like this in which we live.
