DR. w. A. BISON, director
~ of the Bison Clinic and
Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee
and a member of the class OF
1922 at A. G. NJ, was guest
speaker at the FIST annua
Founders Day at Florida A. and
M. University recently. He said,
"a social revolution is taking
place in America today in re-
gard to the Negro" He pointed
out six factors which he feels
have brought about a change
in the Negro. They are:
I. Migration of the egro
from the rural south to the in
dustrial west and notrh.
2. A change of attitude on the
part of many industrial leaders
is now recognizing the talents
and skils of the Negro rather
than his color.
8. The part played by the
United States Government in
insisting on non-discrimination

or as follOw-up to suspicious

in employment due to race in all
of its government contracts.
q. The Supreme Court deci-
sion in wiping out segregation
in, public schools; and ruling
that segregation in any form is
illegal.
5. The fact that toWay there
are twelve states that have en-
forceable laws that prohibit any
Discrimination in employment
and these states contain SO per
cent of the United States popu-
lation.
6. The farsightedness of the
Negro in preparing and train
ing for the better jobs and bet
ter opportunities.

street, beaten by two police of
ficers and thoWn in jail for an
swering yes to an officer. The
girl was held in Jail from Sat
urday until Monday.
According to the paper that re-
pored the girls story, a tall
slender attractive girl was out
looking for her two smaller
brothers, and as she passed a
pool hall, someone called out of
a cyr, Hey girl, come here"
When she continued walking, she
said, a policeman got out of Squad

Offended when she answered
yes instead of yes sir" to his
questions, she said the pair drove
her to a dark area on Brown St,
and that one beat her about the
head, and pounded her in the
stomach with his fist.
To avoid alarming the neighbor-
hood, she said the officer held bis
hand over her mouth to keep her
screams from being heard.
After a beating which lasted for
about Is minutes, she said the Of
ficers carried her to the police
station. She said one officer
caught her by the neck of her
sweater, and pushed her into the
station, because he said she
wasn't walking fast enough
After getting her inside, she
said that the officer pushed her
down, and then kicked her be-
fore slamming her into chair.
Her mother, Mrs. Della NJ Gig
ger, said that her daughters face
was still swollen Tuesday when
she came by to carry her home,
During the beating the girl SAID
the officers told her that they
were going to teach her how to
talk to white people. On pre-
vious occasion she said, one of
the officers had yelled to her
Say girl, you want to make a
dolIar?" as they were patrolling
the area.
