course, are always ont of sym
patty with the NAACP.
The southern whites have long
boosted of how well they know
and understand the Negro. What
they strangely do not understand
is the fact that there are Negroes
and there are "ou Negroes"
Our Negroes" are that class who
are the Uncle Toms that still hang
on. traitors to their race and quite
willing to betray the NAACP and
accept for themselves and their
children segregation and second
class citizenship. To "our Neg
roes" there are .our Whitefolks. "
Put "our whitefolks' do not know
Negroes. They have never will
ingly let themselves get acquaint-
ed with any other than those who
know their place.
The Negro has better and
finer conception of his place in
the American democracy of today,
and he intends to see that con-
ception fully realized. Further
more, he knows that the NAACP
has been and is 2 powerful force
for moving him towards that re-
alization. By alIsn1eans let's have
that love which holde a family

for, but let it be the American
family that includes the Negro

However, should some feel that
they are rated as "second-class"
citizens, they may find consola-

slaves and gave the colored man
a vote. 1t was some SIS years lat

Even today, in Mississippi, a

ROCKEFELLER and NIXON
One of the most mystifying po-
litical stories since the Nov. 4
election was the meeting here
between Gov.-elect Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York and
Vice President Nixon.
There are points about it that
are difficult for seasoned politi-
clans to understand. For exam
pie: Why did Rockefeller, who
has been so well advised polite
ally, seek out a conference with
the Vice President, who has been
IN the political doldrums since
Election Day?
To many politicians it looked
like a bonehead play. When
things are going well, they rea-
son, you just don't rock the boat.
With few facts to go on, some
political analysts then began to
look for all sorts of hidden mo-
tives in Rockefeller's action. Was
he pressured into the session?
Implication: He is really weak,
like Ike.) Was he trying to make
deal with Dick2 Implication:

Negroes Fight for
Citizenship Begins
In Nevada

The sovereign state of Nevada
was "a years old October 81 and
for the first time in history
Negroes helped celebrate her
birthday.
In this sentence lies a signi-
ficant and Illuminating chapter
of the national fight against in
justice, discrimination and bigo-
try.
Nevada, in 1864, was made a
state so hastily by President
Lincoln that the scandalously few
lawmakers had no time to draft
their own constitution, so they
adopted one that had worked
very well in New York but las
has been discovered since) was
hardly adaptable to the West
either as it was then or as it
has since become.
Until few years ago there
was no very urgent battle for
civil rights in Nevada because
there were very few Negroes
living there The building of
luxury resorts in Las Vegas and
Reno has abruptly changed the
picture. Negroes flocked into the
state to work either in service or
as entertainers.
AT the same time the inte-
grated Armed Forces with their
various establishments brought
colored youngsters into the state
in increasing numbers.
The colored population Of Reno
jumped from 1900 in 1949 to
1900 in 1858: that of Los Vegas
from $50 to nearly $4,000.
Neither legislators nor the OPP
orators of luxury hotels and re-
sorts saw the handwriting on the
wall. Today this handwriting has
been foreibly called to their at
tention.
