"if the Negro Is to move ahead In
the COS; one-bigotry must be on
the wane, two-the majority group
must be split and wing for Negro
support, and three - the Negro
must be ready to demonstrate, and
sacrifice If need be, for equality"
Mr.. Riess indicated that today
these three conditions have been
met and cited the efforts of the
two major parties in the last pres
idential election to secure the Ne
gro vote.
He also cited the efforts of the
Soviet bloc, and the West to in
fluence the ii new African count
ries recently admitted to the
United Nations as proof that ma
tionally and internationally, the
dominant groups are wing fol-
Negro support.
Regarding the readiness of the
Negro to demonstrate and sacri-
flee, the branch president said
THE success of the Montgomery,
Alabama bus boycott, and the
success Of the sit-ins led by Mar
tin Luther King attest to the fact
that the Negro is ready to push
vigorously toward his goal Of First
class citizenship.
This obviously was a slap at
the advocates Of graduahsm, OF
which the leading prepayment Is
Mississippi novelist, William Falk-
ner, who maintains that the Ne
gro Is winning his fight and ought
to proceed slowly to prevent VOL
ence.
Riess cautioned the audience
with, ITO act vigorously now is
to succeed; to fail so to act is
sheer folly"
Questioned about the concept
that Negro Advancement is an art,
Reiss said that the history Of the
Gandhi movement; the insights OF
the ages; socio-economic studies;
and current psychological and
anthropological thought, all pro-
duce and make known the techni-
ques of fighting oppression, and
in this sense has made resisting OPP
preston an art. Negro Advance
ment hinges" he said, upon the
alienation of oppression"
