degraded the male and kept him
subservient.
She will be forced TO engage in
a psychological revolution within
her family and begin to set new
patterns. She will have to forget
the days Of her mother and grand
mother, and set new patterns for
her children. And most important
of all, she will be required to re-
linquish her position as family
head.
Historically, the Negro woman
has always played a major role in
the progress of the Negro people
in the United States. She has been
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-08-22

forced to carry a heavy respon-
sibility - and she has carried 1t
well.
But times have changed - and
she must change with them. The
Negro is experiencing a new sense
Of being, a new sense of dignity,
and a new concept in living. For
the first time in history he is ready
to take his place in the American
mainstream of life.
A major revolution, at any time,
always sets off many other smaller
revolutions. It's like dropping a
pebble in a pond. The ripples fan
out through the whole body of
water. The racial revolution now
going on has caused many other
minor revolutions within the Ne
gro culture, and the repercussions
will be felt for a long time.
The revolution within the Negro
family structure Is but one OF the
repercussions and the woman will
have to rise to full stature in order
to survive it.
In order to understand the Ne
gro woman today, we must first
examine the background of the cul-
ture which produced her.
During slavery there were spec
ial cultural and historical factors
operating in the case of the Negro
family.
In the chapter on THE Negro
Maternal Family, in a book en-
titled Social Problems in Amer
ica", Charles King writes, "The
slave plantation of the South is
the place of origin of the Negro
maternal family. The family life
was loosely organized. The fathers
function in the slave family ceased
to be important to the family
group after conception"
It is not presumptuous to point
out that these tactics were delib-
erately used by the slave owners
to emasculate the male head Of tn
family, thereby keeping control Of
the slaves. For it Is a generally
accepted fact that entire cultures
have been destroyed when the fam

lily unit Is wakened. The most ef-
fective method is by removing the
male as head of the family unit.
This act goes against the mores
of our culture and deprives the
male of the right Of providing for
and protecting his family. When
he is denied this responsibility, he
is robbed of manhood.
The Negro woman, on the other
hand, was always favored during
slavery. Even to the present day
she has been given more oppor-
tunity to advance, while her male
counterpart has been systematic
ally denied the same chance.
E. Franklin Frazier points out
in his book, THE Negro Family in
the United States" that during
slavery, high rates Of reproduction
were encouraged and rewarded,
without the benefit of marriage,
and that the central and often only
enduring family relation was that
between the mother and her chill
dren.
It is interesting to note that
this kind Of behavior is constantly
pointed out by the white dominant
culture as proof" of the Negroes
immortality" History, however,
shows that 1t was the white DOM
inant culture that first employed
and forced such relationships, often
under threat of death, among the
slaves.
Thus, the rootlessness in Negro
family life was born out of slavery
and has brought about the only
meaningful relationship in the fam
lily - that of the mother and her
offspring, which became the only
lasting one.
Some of these patterns have
carried over into the present day.

middle OF a dilemma without Know
ing quite how it all started.
The Negro woman wants and ex.
poets a man she can look up to
All around her, in the dominant
culture, she sees men providing
and caring for their wives. She en-
ters marriage expecting the same
treatment. It seldom comes.
She doesn't take into considera'
tion that the cards have beer
stacked against her for some three
hundred years. Society began the
emasculation process and she,
without comprehension, has aided
and abetted society while uncon-
sciously ensuring the continuation
of the process by conditioning her
children in their daily life.
She unually continues working.
When the children begin arriving,
she must quit work - and the
tension begins. She wants the nice

gro husband who alone can pro.

The realm in which the Negro
woman has had to function does
not end with serving as bread.
winner and head Of the family
She must serve in the community
as well.
She has had to engage in the
fight for equal opportunity, for she
knows motivation is the all4mport-
ant factor in the whole struggle
Of the Negro people for final In
tegration in the mainStream Cd
American life.
The Negro child in the integ-
rated school poses special prob
lens for the mother.
Take the bright, friendly little
Negro boy in the 3rd grade VINO
had a big crush on a girl named
Sharon. His mother received daily
tidbits about such godngs on as,
Il pulled Sharon's hair today, and
she laughed.
One thing the little boy forgot
to tell his mother; Sharon was
white. 1t just didn't occur to him.
One day he came home crushed.
He had asked Sharon to be his
Bird grade girlfriend. Little Miss
Sharon replied that she could never
even consider such a thing because
your hair is too curly, your nose
too flat, and besides, you're black.
It was the beginning. Every Ne
gro mother waits patiently for it
to happen - and it does sooner or
later. What else can she say to do
but wrap his tiny little body in her
arms and say but Mommy loves
you, and thinks you're just beauti-
full"
Or the little Negro girl who
comes home in tears because the
teacher refused to hold her hand
when they were playing ring
around-the-rosy." Can you imagine
playing "ring-around-the-rosy with
a broken ring?
AS we look at the Negro woman
today, we can see the reason for
her aggressiveness IA pattern Of
her subculture); the reason for her
rage (her longing for the privilege
Of solely being a woman; and the
reason for her many attitudes to-
ward the dominant culture (be-
cause Of the constant mental ang-
uish it has caused her).
Certainly she has enjoyed her
position of prestige, and as the
wallis Of segregation come tu1nb-
hing down, she win be faced with
one Of the most crucial decisions
of her life. She will have to re-
hnquish her throne.
The adjustment will be a diff
cunt one. Underneath, she must
realize that this was what she was
really fighting for all the time
to see her man take his r1ghtful
place in society.
The Negro woman fully under
stands the role her family must
play in the future Of America.
There will be many more humiI-
ations, many more triunphs, and
many, many more adjustments.
But she will meet the challenge.
History has made her that way.

The young Negro girl grows up in
the home watching a dominant
mother rule the household. She be-
comes aggressive and competitive
because that has become the role
Of the woman in the home.
1t is always understood that she
will grow up and become a help
mate in the family. All the other
women she observes are helping to
support the family.
In many instances, this has
tended to lead to favoritism to-
ward the female in the family, for
the continued opportunities for
domestic work and white collar
jobs for the females are far more
available than employment oppor-
tunities for the males, especially
in the city.
A heartbreaking scene witnessed
by many Negro children Is the con-
tinual downgrading of the male
by the female. 1t is not only be-
tween mother and father, but has
often carried over 10 brother and
sister. Such utterances as "you
amt no good and amt never going
to amount to nothing" and you're
just like your father"
This kind Of negative attitude
has been a constant part of the
masses in Negro family life. With
