Reverse Freedom Riders
Won't Suffer If
They Come Here

State and local officials of pub
lie and private welfare and human
relations organizations are pre-
pared for any emergency which
the threatened sending by the
Louisiana White Citizens Council
of 20 New Orleans Negroes to
Minneapolis for Christmas, mater
ializes.
The usual agencies which take
care of such emergencies, as the
arrival of persons without plans
or funds are expected to take over
if the planned Reverse Freedom
Riders, come to the city.
The White Citizens Council orig
inally planned to send the un-
fortunates, who have been falsely
told there are jobs awaiting them
in Minneapolis, to be guests" of
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey,
whom the leader of the racists
called the leading civil rights ad-
vocate in the us. Senate"
Humphrey and his family had
made prior plans to hold their
family Christmas in Washington.
These plans will not be changed.
Humphrey told a news confer
ence last week he was sure Min
nesota would treat the persons
sent here Hospitality If they did
come.
So many Twin City families,
white and Negro showed interest
in having the families for Christ
mas dinner, and providing any who
came with warm clothes, that a
coordinating committee was set up
to see that everything went
smoothly if the Louisianians come
to Minneapolis.
1t has been difficult to obtain
any definite information or plans,
but reporters for this paper have
been told that every effort would
be made by established agencies to
see that the men, women and chill
dren whom the White Citizens
Council claim they are sending
will not suffer while in Mime
apolis.

to this newspaper, but did not live
to see his report in print.
Death came suddenly at his
home at 4OO1 Fifth Av. s., before
he could leave for Sunday services.
Elder Virgins had been in poor
health for several years but con-
tinued to carry on actively for his
congregation.
Funeral services for the well
known churchman were held
Thursday morning at IL am, Dec.
20, at the church he built in l948
at 10th and Fourth Av. S.
Elder J. w. Graham, bishop Of
the state of Minnesota ufficiated
at the funeral rites which were
attended by many of the pastors
of both out-of-town and Minnesota
churches of several different de-
nominations.

cemetary.
Bishop Virgins was made pre-
siding bishop of the Church Of
God in Christ in the state of South
Dakota several months ago.
He came to Minneapolis in 1882
from st. Louis, Mo, where he was
born He founded st. Paul's church
in 1885 in a building on East
Franklin Av.
The present handsome church
structure was the first new build
ing constructed by a predominant
ly Negro congregation in Mime
apolis in 40 years.
Built at the corner Of 10th and
Fourth Av. s., it is credited with
helping start a movement of Ne
gro congregations and families
into the surrounding areas good
housing.
Bishop Virgins is survived by
his widow, Roberta B., son, John
c., Jr.; a sister Mrs. Minerva
Moore Of St. Louis, Mo; two
brothers, Central of st. Louis, Mo,
and Willie of Clarksdale, Miss.
All of his out-of-town relatives
came to Minneapolis for the fun
eral rites.
Pallbearers were Elders of the
church, E. Deming, and E. H.

St. Paul recorder., 1962-12-21

The law of diminishing returns
began to operate. The unforeseen
consequence of our compelling
argument is that the stereotype
of the Negro family as low income,
poorly educated, and slum living
has been perpetuated, and the rise
of the Negro middle class has gone
unnoticed.
Ignorance by whites Of the rap
idly growing Negro middle class
has rationalized, for them, their
resistance to movements by Ne
groes into middle class neighbor-
hoods and suburbs, and into GER
tain white-collar, technical, and
professional positions in business.
Yet public discussion of unem-
ployment, dependency, and juve-
nile delinquency among Negroes
continues - minus any considera-
ton of the presence of a continu-
ously growing, numerically impor-
tant, middle-income Negro popula-
ton in Chicago.
Such discussions are like those
battles which, in the phrase of
Ambassador Galbraith, "are being
fought with blank cartridges for
ground that has already been won
in a war that is over" There can
be no question that the Negro
middle class is here to stay, and
expand. To back up this statement
I need only point to the Commis-
sion's study on the Negro middle
class in Chicago and suburbs.
At least 35 to 40 per cent of
Chicago's Negro families belong to
the middle class, judged by college
education, occupation, income, and
home ownership.
The growth Of this middle class
comes at a significant hour in Chi
cago's history. The large migra-
ton of Negroes from the South,
which reached its peak in the late
1e40s and early 195o's, has now
begun to taper off. AS a result,
the major source Of Negro popul-
alton growth in Chicago and its
suburbs during the 1e6o's will be
through natural increase and not
immigration.
The growing middle class re-
fleets the rise of a second and third
generation among Negro Chicago
ans, whose progress must be reck-
oned with as we plan for the 196os
and 1970s.

Dr.. Abrams Found
NOT Guilty; Will
Sue John Tucker

A st. Paul physician who was
arrested on charge of assault
filed by a patient Nov. % was
found innocent of the charge Dec.
IL in st. Paul municipal court.
The patient now faces a $25, 900
libel and malicious prosecution
suit.
The physician is Dr. Alexander
Abrams, with offices at 6241a
Selby Av., st. Paul. The patient
who now faces a civil suit is John
Tucker, an assistant pastor at
Mount Olivet Baptist church.
The suit against Mr.. Tucker was
filed Tuesday, December 1S, in
Ramsey district court. Michael
Robins, attorney with offices in
the First National Building rep
resents DR.. Abrams.
Abrams was arrested on a COM
plant filed by Mr.. Tucker, who
alleged the physician assaulted him
and put him out of his office, fol-
lowing an argument about an al
legged overpayment of his bill.
DR.. Abrams told the court Mr.
Tucker created a disturbance in
his office and when asked to leave
kicked the physician.
The physician told reporters he
informed Mr.. Tucker that his re-
cords would have to be checked
carefully to verify whether there
had been an overcharge or not,
and that this would take some
time.
Mr. Tucker repeatedly demanded
immediate payment, which the
physician said was not possible be-
cause, the office was crowded
with patients and there was no
time on that day to check records
sufficiently. An argument ensued
and the resulting alteration en-
sued.

Good Common Sense

Good common sense and desire for the
future of our children dictates that the Ne
gro spend his consumers dollar first with
those firms and concerns which do not prac-
tice race discrimination in the selection of
their employees at all job levels. There is no
use in making sacrifices to send our children
to school unless at the same time we spend
our consumer dollars with concerns who
will offer Negro trained youth the same
opportunity for gainful employment and ad-
vancement on the job which is open to most
others.-CecI Newman.
