it balance with the proud re-

exhaustible courage of Ruby

One sees again on the screen
that exquiSitely orchestrated
performance which earned the
play its New York Drama Crit
ics' Circle prize. And is bound
to earn the film a high place
on Hollywood's 1861 honor roll,
with several Academy award
prospects.
The single small area for
quibbling with Daniel Petrie's
direction of the film relates to
his failure to open it up to meet
the challenge of the screens

answer would be that "A Rails
in in The Sun" is essentially a
dramatic narrative confined to
q congested slum flat living
room.
It's screen magnification in no
way diStorts the proportions of
Miss Hansberry's play for
which, by the way, she did the

"A Raisin in The Sun" gains

Igniting the explosion in the
lives of the YoungerS is a
$4,000 life insurance check, a
sacrificial legacy from Miss Nc
Neirs dead husband. The son,
POTTER, would use it to buy a
share in a liquor store and to
give up his cloying job as a
chauffeur. The mother wants
it for the home, with a garden
plot, of which she has been
dreaming since her first child
was born. The daughter, a med
ical student, would like a share
to help her through her educa-

In their contrasting person

dramatic lot. And, in this con-
flict, they have a great deal to
reveal of human nature that
never quite escapes the effect
Of skin color but which often
comes close.
1t is one of the most ap-
pealing aspects of the film that
in imbuing it with so much
of tension, Miss Hansberry
never loses her sense Of humor.
She allows the Youngers to be
funny, the mother dry, droll,
stubbornly proud; the son bit

EDITORIAL.
LINCOLN AND THE NEGRO

On the opening day of Negro
History Week, the youths of Mt.
Olive Baptist Church, paStored by the
Rev. ]. E. Graves rendered a play
which they wrote and produced them
selves on the Negro in slavery. They
depicted the practice of the white
owners in the deep south as they sold
and bought Negro people. The whole
show was, in its self, master piece.
1t showed the power of inauguration
that predominateS the mind of our
youth. We failed to get the name of
the young woman who apparently
trained the young people for the play,
but it was we'll done. 1t was probably
done by Miss Constance Shorter or by
Mrs. Catherine Humphry, or by both
of these ladies working together. The
Mistress of Ceremonies was Mrs.
Catherine Humphry while Miss or
Mrs Shorter directed the Choir. All
of the music was most wonderful, even
to the solos sung by Mrs. Franklin
Williams and by Mrs. Callie Washing
ton. Solos were also rendered by Mrs.
Milton Norwood and by Mrs Beverly
Scoby All the music was the type
that was originated by our people
while they were under the burden of
slavery; Such as No Body Knows the
Trouble | See, Deep River, and Il
Want Jesus to Walk With Me" and
many others. Marshall Britt had
charge of the Auction Block, and he
was masterful He acted as though
selling Negroes was his only business.
Many of those in inc to be auctioned
off tainted and fell in line before
their time came to be auctioned off.
Mothers were crying as their relatives
were being sold away from them. 1t
is hard for me TO believe that any
human being could be SO low at TO
treat another numanbeing SO low.
When we think of it all it is not hard
for US TO understand why the people
of the South can, even a hundred
years later, be SO unkind to the Negro
people. They should know that they
are humane because enough of them
have crossed the line and produced
children by Negro women. Although
nearly 100 years have passed since
Abraham Lincoln issued the emanci-
patton proclamation freeing the
Negro, we can justly complain that
we are not free. We have TO fight
for every step forward We take in
our land. Notwithstanding all this
we are making progress 1t should
not be expected for us to be quite so
near perfect as are our white neigh
bors; and yet. many of those white
friends are far behind some of their
Negro neighborS in every respect.
We wish to congratulate those who
held this service Ii showed no
little inauguration among all of
them. In fact. Champaign should be
extremely grateful for the fact that
it now has a great deal of intelligence
among the religious leaders of the
city. Almost all of our churches have
the most intelligent leaders. This has
not always been the fact There has
been times when our church leader
ship has not been SO we'll trained.
With such leaders, and considering
the groups they are expected to lead,
we should be making progress.
Abraham LincOln's "own words are
the best evidence of his profound anc
simple faith in God and His Provi
dence." asserts an article in the
February issue of The Sign, nationa
Catholic magazine. published here.

ELECTION VICTOR
By Mrs. Ria Potter

Everyone seems TO be taking credit
for the election. Each pressure group
wants its share of recognition. Need
less to say. that every segment of our
nation contributed to make possible
the victory of new president of
these United StaeS.
Perhaps John F. Kennedy won his
own battle, perhaps it was the faithful
Democrats of the deep south, the city
votes. and the minority voters, all
played their part The November
victory was the result of work and
sacrifice of all groups, interested in
victory for all people.
1t is good to see the independence
with which our new president has
been operating and making appoint
ments. Since his victory was the
result of SO many he owes nothing to
any special group, This differs from
the past administration victories,
which seem only concerned with re-
Warding the business community and
forgetting The millions who voted for
them.
Now that the victory has been won
it is time to think of what it really
means. We the people supported what
We felt was best for the country, and
We only want what is best for our
country. We want peace and honor,
We want jobs for all Americans,
decent laws TO protect our citizens.
Housing for all people, medical aid
for the aged, school for all our
children, and we want equal treat
ment and opportunity for all our
Nations 100000 citizens.
We see pressure groups blasting the
idea of Federal government aiding the
schools, but this same group have
come up with no reasonable plans for
doing away with teacher shortage,
improving education and building
new schools
The housing needs of our Nation
is disgrace, conditions under which |
many of our citizens live are less than
minimum. The strong forces attack
ing the medical coverage for the aged
under the social security system, as a
plot against the medical profession,
and the government
There is good reason TO believe
and hope that programs as redevelop
ment of distressed areas, minimum
wage Improvements, health care for
aged. aid to education and public
housing, all of which came close 10
enactment under less favorable condi-
tons will shortly become law This
does not mean that all the Nations
problems will be solved. But we do
believe they will be attacked with
vigOr and effectiveness, and some pro-
gress will be made
President Kennedy wants to do a
good job, and we all must do our
share to help. We cannot afford TO
lose this fight for a better America
Ii is our job to get behind our preSi
dent and help him put into effect
plans and changes which will bring a
Nation, better housed, better fed.
better clothed, better educated, better
health and Nation which offers
PEACE TO all who want it.
