1t is practical to do so, exist
ing buildings are undergoing re-
novation.

1--WE no longer ask the Negro
masses not to hate" Mr.. New
man added. I'VE tell him that
If he must hate he should try
to show a little mercy. This is
a harsh but realistic view"
In Columbia, DR.. Howard e.
Wright, president of Allen
University, an all-Negro school,
said: 1.-THE task Of helping our
students to face the realities
Of our times is Just as inn
portant as sending them out
into the world with an
academic education.
THE racial tempo here is
such that any incident in a
downtown restaurant or store
can cause our students to drop
their books and take to the
streets.
"It's too bad that I can't
join them. I can't tell them
that everything will work itself
out. This would be a lie."
Negro Caste System
Negroes in Columbia and
Charleston live in a caste sys-
tenn within their own race.
Negroes who have light COM
plexions are disdainful Of their
darker brothers, so much so
that often they do not worship
in the same churches, frequent
the same clubs, live in the
same neighborhoods, or even
speak to each other.
E. Cedric Hart, publisher and
editor Of South Cardinals only
Negro newspaper, said this
intra-racial color problem hin
ders the solving Of the larger
racial conflict.
MY attitudes are those Of a
militant person." Mr.. Hart
said, but I refuse to use my
newspaper as militant mouth

community until they unite

DR.. Ram stands almost

In addition to the division

also is a split between what
