racial hate. rebirthed in the state
by Governor Faubus is being
demonstrated in this community
Where brotherly love manifested
IN a Christian spirit, has been
a practice of the inhabitants for
many years
Last week following the opening
OF school that has run for one
full year on an integrated basis,
the allegiance to Faubuslsm SUI
perseded Christianity and A
mericanism in the hearts of the
residents which resulted into a
fury hurled at Negro children
that would shame the most saw
age of beasts in the wilds Of
Africa. /
White youths, urged by par
ents, staged an Arkansas dem
onstration against the presence
of ID Negro children at the Van
Buren, high school. where only
last year they attended togeth-
er peacefully.
One 16-yesr-old Negro boy said
after running the gantlet of the
young white hoodlums to enter
the school, that he was forced
to leave for the protection of
his own life. He said white
classmates had threatened to
take care" of him after school.
He also said that he was ston-
ed and several of his school,
mates left the school with him,
and they did not plan to return
until some assurance of protec-
ton was given them.
When the Negroes returned to
the school this week that they
attended all last year, enjoying
a normal school life, they were
met with jeers, and faced signs
on school prperty. Niger, Go
Home" and This Is A White
School.
The Negro students said that
the white boys displayed switch
blade knives and made menacing
gestures.
Van Buren, is west Arkansas
town WITTY population of a.
bout 5000, and has no segregat-
ed high school, Before Negroes
were admitted last year to the
school formerly reserved for
whites, Negroes had been trans
ferred several miles to another
town to attend school.
The integra. ion program re-
suited from settlement of a suit
filed by N0acp attorneys for the
children After the school board
presented a pl of gradual inte-
grafton, and the Naacp attor-
neys accepted the plan, Federal
Judge John E. Miller, who had
heard hearings on the SUIT, dis
missed the suit in September,
1857. Negro pupils were accept
ed at the fall term of school,
and attended class S throughout
the year with no disturbance.
This program worked peaceful
ly and was successful. The
school officials opened the jun
ior high school to Negro stu
dents this fall. But when the
meaning of the Faubus doctrine
of racicl hate and law defiance
reached the once peaceful Chris
tan community, the atmosphere
changed
Since Arkansas had won inter-
national disrepute, through its
doctrine of inhuman-ty to man,
the people of this community
were faced with one of two de-
cisions: uphold Faubusism" or
uphold Americanism".
Faubusism won, and the Ne
