Can Everinghom Advise Negroes?

Can Everinghom Advise Negroes!
If you read last weeks SUN you Harry Evering
hams background know also that the editor
REPUBLIC he gives him preferred space must know
him for Why REPUBLIC features Everingham
any his attitudes, is well as mine
HTEs advice Negroes in his column IN the
REPUBLIC of March 26 opens his statement by saying
that he Negro he believes that he would have the
convictions this subject that he has We know
that he highly preudced segregatonist who be-
rights communist wedge Then he
by winning acceptance of the whites the right
Negroes public accommodations wherever other
citizens the right without harraSSnent an
persecution treated the American public schools in
disqualification the courts of law and in every other sa
affecting the American public the all other
rerican citizens If he WE'RE Negro believing
probably considered mentally i'll by other
believe that these rights the legal rights
of American citizens.
How can any person say that seeking legal
rights in the courts of democratic nation playing into the
communists" Any American today who wants to
know the truth about Negro organizations can easily find out
groups being by communists to create
also knows the facts about
the fascist Neither Billy HarglS, Harry Everlngham
that permit them to promote their ideas
in their pages slightest
make that the struggle of Negroes for their
rights inspired by anything except the desire of deprived
freedoms enjoyed by other Americans
Calling the NAACP and Urban Renewal communist is in the
name-caling calling
manager form of city government communist
Regarding HTEs advice that Negroes be patient and gentle
has the by industrial
lists South America and Asia that the be
petualy patient compliant the demands made
white coOniStS exploit the blacks Africa have
present Russians
have taken advantage in South America Asia and Africa of
the mistaken belief of those that coolies and
blacks be kept perpetual sbcton does not that
American Negroes need want help from communists
We American citzens We believe in American demo
cracv in spite of such racist as eve The People
''The John Birch Society," For America" which
claims not to be rac but to these racst
whenever it their ends to do This think is indie
fensbe quite possible that fear of Russia has operated
o open up more avenues OF progress 10 Negoes IN America
in the last two decades sincere regard for civil
rights However venture that Negroes generally
ieve that the present Democratic administration sincerely
for civil rights the northern missionaries founded
ladega Fisk and Atlanta University and other schools for the
freed Immediately after emancipation
ness never got anything but survival
Everingham entire statement implying that Negroes do not
take advantage of opportunities to improve their ability and
sks that they generally immoral and criminal do
not the rights of Others only effort of
racs to perpetuae the old ereoypes
pie who slightly informed know that crime immortality
the result of individuals
The 1860 delapdated housing
America sums largely occupied by members of minority
groups.
The fact that Negroes victims the most unmerciful
discrimination in the matter of jobs is well known whites
they the dscrmnaors enlightened
Nix the Phoenix Union High School, until ago
operated quota system that limited the participation
groes ana Mecans IN some OF the training opportunities
there still training opportunities not open Negroes
What Negroes have achieved America has been largely
spite opportunities Most of those of nv friends
and acquainances who have
have been many have done to get job opportunities
certainly because they being Negroes
AS long this is their EMPLOYMENT
this disappearance into the white trace" will
means of seeking employment in terms of their ability Ne
know that Jackie Robinson Negro to
play major league baseball He merely first identi
fable white proud that they are
part of an American majority that has engaged of
vicious exploitation OF other Americans purely because of the
accident of birth.
When s-ins are no longer necessary they will cease
Chandi communist. Everngham's freedom of
choice bit of advice sounds like Adrch Focus another
racist Everingham statement that anyone
erty must have the right to do with should appal
of buildlE
ing codes AS to his references slavery Negroes know
about slavery than know unless if is
his own slavery to prejudice and hate God forgive
