Freedom Riders OF 1890

1t is startling idea especially perhaps to those
who did it, but there were Freedom Riders in the
generation that represents the great grandfathers
of todays Freedom Riders.
They were not exactly crusaders, and they GER
tainly did not act part of movement for this
or that But as certainly they were moved and
challenged by the people who would replace freedom
with repression and terror And they took their free
dom rides to challenge such people.
1t happened in the decades following the Civil
War when hatred for the Damyankees was even
more virulent in the Southland than it before
has been since Tales of terrorism and repression in
teresed and challenged young people throughout the
country. Some of them decided to assert and test
their rights American citizens to go wherever
they wished. Here is what happened in case
back in the 1905.
The rider young white railroad worker.
He therefore had pass that allowed him to travel
by rail wherever he wished So he devoted vacation
time to visiting cities in the deep south. He would
go to a city, engage a and pay his rent in
advance and then stroll out to look things over.
Very he would be approached by of
the local bully boys wearing a badge who would
ask what he was doing there. After few prelim-
inaries, the bully boy would order him out of town
by shutdown. The rider would reply that he
law abiding citizen of the United States, doing moth
ing illegal, that he had his rent paid in advance,
and that he would leave town when he got good
and ready to.
The interview would end with the bully boy
repeating his order and threatening Jail if it not
obeyed Our rider always stood his ground and the
threat never carried out.
This story is interesting for three reasons First
it indicates that the spirit that motivaed the free
dom riders, of challenging injustice and tyranny,
deep and broad in traditions Second, ap-
parently the quality of the Law" in Dixie has not
changed much in the past so or 70 years Third the
South of Judge Lynch and Orval Faubus which en-
harnesses the United States the world over can
never never win.

THE symbolic wheel, which
constitutes the theme Of the
novel, SPOKES FOR THE
WHEEL, by Negro author
Robert Deal Broadus, rolls on
past those colored folk, who re-
ject the formula which this
novel offers for the attainment
of racial equality. Apparently,
their irritation blinds them to
the message carried by its NOV
ing, absorbing story, 50 they
likewise reject an invitation to
chop on" the wheel. Their at
titude toward this book is elo-
quently expressed in the fol-
lowing review, by noted Negro
journalist Ella Clark Benson, in
a recent issue of The Negro
Review Record:
A stone, a stone! who has a
stone? And who will throw the
stone? / move that Robert Deal
Broadus be stoned until dead,
for writing that thin little
shocker, "Spokes For The
Wheel" critical, sarcastic re-
Election upon Negroes - and
at time such as this!
If you won't throw the stone,
then / must, else how will /
save face, stripped naked, for
all to see, by that silly book?
Just hand me the stone. Not
that one-a larger one, please!
This won't be easy, for there
is much truth in this Broadus
book, and truth isn't easily
subdued. Not that the truth
isn't al right. It's just that we
don't want to be bothered with
it just now, when we are so
busily engaged in achieving
equality by compromise.
Slapping "white folks" with
one hand and begging them for
bread with the other, is high
class strategy. Consider how
long it has worked - and we
are the only Americans smart
or dumb enough to follow a
plan like that.
And now, just when the coun-
try is about to become ours, and
for free, comes this stupid book,
which literally unfrocks our

However, the final word on
the end of poll tax payments,
at least in federal elections, now
rest with the states. The mea-
sure as passed by the two
houses of Congress must now
be approved by two-thrids of
the states before the amend
ment becomes effective and
legal as a part of the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
A two-thirds majority of the
states to approve the amend
ment will require the approval
of 38 states. Only five states,
Alabama, Arkansas, Mississip-
pi, Texas, and Virginia, now re-
quire the payment of poll-tax
on the part of prospective vot-
ers. This leaves 45 non-poll tax
states, which can be taken to
indicate that the amendment is
almost certain to be approved
by the necessary number of
states and become a part of the
Constitution. Each state has
seven years from date to make
its decision.
Meanwhile, already here in
Mississippi it is being pointed
out that the Congressional ac-
tion eliminating the poll tax as
a requirement for voting in fed
eral elections will have only
limited effect in Mississippi.
The voter will not need a poll
tax receipt when he votes for

tors and members of the House
