SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) Change Is Not Difficult (From The Louisiana Weekly) The fight to abolish segregation in the public schools of the nation received added support last week when representatives of eight million Catholic women urged all Americans to accept with good graces a Supreme Court decision that would end segregation in the nation's public schools—that is if the court so rules. Urging this action was the Board of Directors of the National Council of Catholic Women. In a prepared statement the NCCW said "Some people are already working on subterfuges to avoid implementing the decision of the court should it ask for integration. We know from experience in some of our Catholic schools that a change from segregation to integration can be made without difficulty. We are convinced that such a change can be made in the public schools. Thus for the record and for enlightened public opinion we have more evidence that many of us in this country are willing to be counted in the struggle of making democracy work like we tell the world it does. The sooner more organizations like the NCCW take similar stands on the issue of segregation in the nation's public schools, the sooner will we convince the world that we ourselves believe in the democracy we preach about. Making His First Appearance Dr. Archibald J. Carey, Jr. of Chicago, Ill., is one of the rarities in eloquent speech-making. Few rate with him in this country as platform figure. He is a man of conviction, sincerity and quality. Perielean Club is most" fortunate to be able to present him Friday night, Feb. 12 as its annual forum speaker. We believe this will be Mr. Carey's first appearance at this nationally-famous Negro History Week forum. He becomes the twenty-first speaker to appear on this twenty three year old forum. Perhaps none of the other speakers have been more devoted to the group's struggle and more dedicated to the country's welfare than Mr. Carey. He has been an ardent leader in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, arid as a spokesman in the Republican Party has expressed those sentiments which have endeared him to his fellow Americans because of the soundness of his views, the loftiness of his patriotism and the fine quality of his appeal on behalf of the group with which his concern is wrapped up. At present he is First Alternate Delegate for his country at the Eighth General Assembly of the United Nations. In this position he has been able to lend his great talent to his country and to the whole world. He and other Negro leaders are showing the folly of the long denial to Negro citizens of the opportunity to serve their country on the basis of merit and fitness. Those who can should plan now to hear Mr. Carey, who will discuss his observations of the United Nations. This should be a fascinating and penetrating report by one of the outstanding leaders of the world today. The Chicago lawyer-minister-politician has accomplished enough to make him a living exhibit of history in the flesh. Reading the story of his life should be an inspiration, to young people. Our youth should be encouraged to attend this forum. Housing Gets A New Spurt Coming as a long felt need to the thousands who never owned a home themselves, and the multitude that has been harbored in rude tenements, void of decent and wholesome living conditions, the President of the United States has recommended the largest single appropriation for housing in the history of mankind anywhere. This important legislation is among his "must" recommendations and bespeaks that broad spirit of genuine Americanism so well begun under the Roosevelt, regime. Better homes and better living quarters are essential to better citizens. From this huge stroke, we are daily approaching the solution of the one problem that has made such an unwholesome contribution in disease, unrest and crime. The American people all along have shown their deservedness; they have maintained-their faith and deep respect for our principles of government from some of the meanest quarters known to humanity. Through the ages, children have been handicapped with every type of environment. Many of the citizens of this country reared and educated their families and sent them forth from many of these low hovels. They did not become the ideals of bur Republic. Americanism as well as the people in question, is in for a boost. We come into our heritage with hearts beating out in pride for this great country of ours, the fine opportunities it affords and the great president who has been called to this crucial hour for these trying times. Significance Of tive records, will correct the defects in laws and destroy false stereotypes of race." The purpose of Negro History Week is not to give a one-week course in Negro History, while devoting the other weeks of the school year to the history of other peoples. By the same token no one can be so short-sighted as to conclude that the purpose of Education Week is to devote only seven days to education. Why, then, should there be such a misconception with respect to Negro History Week? The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History Advocates and promotes the study of the Negro everyday during the entire school year. Indeed this theme for this year — according to Mr. W. M. Brown writing for the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc; — is designed to serve constructively: the contemporary developments in education, civil rights and the advance of human relations." "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry with him the wealth of the Indies." The celebration this year will endeavor to present in strict historical fashion the achievements of Negroes in civilization and history for the high and guidance which they afford. Everyone knows, that integration is an issue of great importance in the forward march of democracy in America, and the world. History and, especially, that of Negroes everywhere is receiving unprecedented consideration and this makes the celebration of Negro History Week in 1950 of unusual importance. "Past court decisions as well as the attitudes, of citizens have been influenced against Negroes by commonly accepted but erroneous historical concepts! For example, school children read in history books that on the whole life was happy for Negro slaves before the Civil War. Then they see that the slaves had been freed, but most of them didn't know how to use their new liberty." The account then shows that "Negroes were given the right to vote but did not know what to do with It." Other, ideas are that ignorant Negroes and dishonest "Capethaggers" controlled legislatures and wasted or stole the money." of the Southern States. These concepts are basic to the justification of the Ku Klux Klan, the disfranchisement of Negroes in the South and the widespread pattern of segregation practiced in America!" Now, unless Negro History can correct the errors and combat the omissions of American History, it will be only natural for other races to consider Negroes as inferior beings. A change in the historical concepts that influence attitudes of prejudice is a condition precedent to true integration. The achievement of the purpose of Negro History means World-Wide acceptance of the human dignity of Negroes.

Copyright 1954, L & M T C State Board Of Regents Fails To Re-name Dr. Aaron Brown Dr. Aaron Brown, president of Albany State, was not re-elected to the post which he has held since March 8, 1944, when the Georgia Board of Regents held its meeting in Atlanta Wednesday morning. All other state college presidents won re-election. L. W. Siebert, executive secretary of the Board of Regents said that no reasons were given by the body for riot renewing the contract of the outstanding Georgia educator, who has served in various positions with the Georgia Teachers and Education Association. The, Education Committee which met Tueday, February 9 failed to recommend that Dr. Brown's contract be renewed. The body, accepted the commitee recommendation on Wednesday. Dr. Brown's dismissal comes following disclosure by State Auditor B.E. Thrasher which held that "Albany State officials should be held personally responsible for payment of $9,606 worth of athletic scholarships' granted by the school's athletic association. Earlier, however, Dr. Brown had been under fire from an Albany newspaper which criticized his appearance at a Albany Negro Voters League Rally where statements wereallegedly made approving so-called "bloc voting." High Albany political leaders were, on the stage during a speech by Dr. Thomas M. Brewer of Columbus, Georgia, which is said to have been under the sponsorship of the Albany Branch of the National Association For The Advancement of Colored People. Reports indicate, that Dr. Brown introduced Atlanta Attorney Austin T. Walden on, the same program. State Auditor Thrasher's attack against the administration of Dr. Brown at Albany State, stated that "responsible officials and not scholarship recipients should be held liable for the money," which was described as having been granted for athletics given during the past several years, but which income had not been sufficient to cover." Dr. Brown reached by telephone had previously denied knowledge of the move to replace him. He referred all queries regarding his status to the Board of Regents. The Albany State president said he had not been personally notified of any change in his status there. More censure was heaped on Dr. Brown when citizens there reportedly boycotted an Albany department store. Bishop Carter school buildings. Among the colleges which benefited from his efforts in this respect were Paine College, Texas College, Tyler, Texas, and Mississippi Industrial College. Bishop Carter reportedly built more than 250 churches ever the nation during his lifetime. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Helen Carter, arid a brother. Henry Duval. Tenn. State ation.
