Civil Rights
Highlights Of '64

Not since 1954 when the United States Supreme Court handed 
down its historic decision banning racial segregation in public
education has the status of Negro Americans been so significantly
advanced as in 1964. The legislative and political advances of last
year, like the court ruling a decade ago, did not just happen out
of the blue. They were, in fact, the fruit of years of painstaking,
often heartrending, efforts on the part of the civil rights movement, 
particularly of the National Association for the Advancement 
of Colored People.
The gains of 1964 were not limited 
to legislation and political action, 
in cays filed by the NAACP,
the Federal courts and the National 
Labor Relations Board handed 
down important rulings re-affirming 
the Negro's right to equality 
in education and employment
The awarding of the Nobel Pence
Prize, to Dr. Martin Luther King
focused world-wide attention on
and enhanced the prestige of the
Negro's non-violent struggle for
freedom. The launching of a nationwide 
campaign of economic
pressure on, Mississippi sought to
bring that state in line with national 
policy.
There were setbacks also, the
most shocking and ghastly of which
were the lynching of three young
civil rights workers in Mississippi
and the wanton killing of a Negro
U. S. Army Reserve officer on a
Georgia highway. The adoption of
a constitutional provision forbidding
any fair housing legislation hence
forth in California by a referendum
of that state's voters on November 
3, if sustained in the courts,
can seriously impede progress towards 
open occupancy patterns in
housing.
With passage of the Civil Rights
Acts of 1964, the legislative branch
of the government finally joined
the judicial and executive branches
in recognition of Federal responsibility 
for maintaining and protectig 
the constitutional rights of
Negro Americans. Those who decried 
court decisions sustaining the
Negro's civil rights as "usurpation
of the legislative function" and who
denounced executive action in this
field as "political opportunism"
sought vainly to avert Congressional" 
sanction of full citizenship status
for Negro Americans.
The civil rights program submitted 
to the Congress by President
Kennedy, improved by the House
Judiciary Committee, approved with
over whelming bi-partisan support
in the House and Senate, and signed, 
into law by President Johnson
was a milestone in the Negro's long
struggle for equality. The law does
not cover all the areas of the Negro's 
justified complaints — housing 
and racial imbalance in public
schools for instance, are specifically 
exempt — but it does provide relief 
in such important areas as employment, 
voting, vocational training, 
and public accommodations, it
expresses a cinsensus of American
opinion that all citizens are entitled 
to equal justice under law.
In the words of the late President 
Kennedy, enactment of the
law removed the civil rights struggle 
from the streets into the courtrooms. 
The most sensitive aspect
of the Act, the public accommodations 
section, was unanimously sustained 
by a U. S. supreme Court
ruling handed on Dec. 14.
Civil rights organizations as Well
as the Department of Justice were
pleasantly surprised by the widespread, 
although not universal,
compliance with the controversial
public accommodations section of
the law. Within a week after the
President had signed the measure,
a special-racial committee of
NAACP Board members visited
Mississippi and was courteously, if
not cordially, deceived as guests in
the leading hotels and restaurants
in Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi and
other, Mississippi cities. Since then
groups of NAACP-led Mississippi
Negroes have enjoyed the hospitality 
of previously all-white hotels,
motels and restaurants in McComb
and Natchez. Elsewhere, in the mator 
cities of the South, the color
bar in public accommodations was
leveled without fanfare and with
rare resistance. Enactment of the
law signaled the dawn of a new
day in race relations in the naton's 
most tradition-bound region
In the long courts of history, enent 
of the Economic Opportunity 
Act (the anti-poverty measure) 
may rank in importance with
passage of the civil rights measure
as a legislative," impetus to a
change in the status of the Negro
Meager as are the funds made available 
for launching the program
the law holds out a ra yof hope and

may provide guidelines for a massive 
attack on poverty which continues 
to blight the world's most
affluent society. There are more
white persons trapped in the pockets
of poverty than Negroes, but the
proportion of poverty-stricken Negroes 
is far greater than that of
white citizens.
The abolition of poverty in our
land is no wa feasible objective. But
the attack, upon this economic
scandal must be full-scale to be efofective. 
Piece-meal efforts are
doomed to failure. Unless the
present commitment to the war on
poverty is vastly expanded. Some
30 million Americans of all races
will remain hopelessly mired in the
bogs of poverty. The youth training 
corps and other aspects of the
program if adequately financed,
properly oriented and efficiently
administered can contribute to a
steady dimunition of the poverty
blight. And the elimination of poverty 
can raise the personal income
and status of all Americans, providing 
a consequent opportunity to
rid the nation of racial discrimination. 
The Economic Opportunity Act
is a companion piece of legislation
to the Civil Rights Act.
The significantly expanded Negro
vote and its role in the Presidential 
election indicated a recognition
on the part of civil rights organizations 
that political action can be
an effective weapon in the Fight
for Freedom. On call of the NAACP,
six civil rights organizations met,
in New York City on July 29. Four
of them agreed to call for a voluntary 
moratorium on mass demonstrations 
and rejected rioting as an
instrument for racial advancement. 
They further agreed on the
imperative need to register more
Negro voters and to get them to
the pools on Election Day. As a
result, some 6,000,000 Negroes a
conservative estimate were qualified 
to vote on Nov. 3. An astonishing 
proportion — in some districts
as high as 90 per cent — of registered 
Negro voters cast ballots.
Other important developments in
the civil rights field included ratification 
of the anti-poll tax amondment; 
rulings by the National Labor 
Relations Board banning racial
discrimination by unions certified
by the NLRB; return of the
NAACP to Alabama from which it
had been barred by a state court
injunction since 1956; reopening of
the public school in Prince Edward
County, Va., on a non-segregated
basis after five schoolless years for
Negro children; the awarding of
the Nobel Peace Prise to Dr. Martin 
Luther King, the election of
J. Raymond Jones as the first Negro 
leader of the New York County 
Manhation Democratic organization; 
the ruling ot the Democratic 
National Convention against
racial discrimination in the selection 
of state delegations to furture
conventions; and the desegregation
without incident, of public schools
in the three Mississippi communitles 
of the South.
On the debit side was the lynching 
of three young civil rights
workers in Mississipppi and the
failure of the state to take action

against the alleged killers after the
FBI had arrested them in connection 
with the crime; the assassination 
of Lt. Colonel Lemuer
Penn on a Georgia highway and
the acquittal of the accused slayers
of a 15-year-old Negro boy in New
York City.

Shun Miss. School Bonds,
NAACP Urges Investors
The National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People has again called upon leading investment institutions 
to refrain from bidding on a Mississippi bond issue.
In a memorandum, dispatched on
Dec. 31, to more than 50 banks, insurance 
companies, pension funds
and investment firms, Roy Wilkins,
NAACP executie director, urged that
they decline to participate in a
$1,000,000 bond issue for the Jackson, 
Miss., Municipal Separate
School District. Sealed bids are to
be received by the City Clerk in
Jackson on Jan. 5, 1985.
"While there is no way of knowing 
to what extent you or other
institutions were influenced by our
previous appeal," Mr. Wilkins said
said, "it is our earnest hope that
some elements of the financial community 
did, in fact, recognize that
a moral consideration was involved
"We remain firmly convinced that
the State of Mississippi is entirely
in a class by itself in the ferocity
and pervasiveness of its mistreatment 
of its Negro citizens. Only the
concerted pressure of all components 
of the American body politic
can bring Mississippi to a realiza
tion 
that it is part if the United
Stotes of America and subject to the

same laws and moral values.
"We urge you not to bid on this,
or succeeding Mississippi bond issues 
until the transformation referred 
to above has taken place.'"

ELEANOR

"I am chosen because my faith in God demands that I be
strong, brave and bold, in exhibiting friendliness, respect, courtesy, 
humility, and like virtues to all, in the face of despite and
rejection; for not all men are strong enough, or are they able
and willing to assume an overall attitude of honesty to virtue in
the face of extreme denial, and rejection."
People of Ethiopian descent must
be brought up from their earliest
childhood to regard virtue, which
is righteousness as the title deed
of their birthright which they are
to diligently seek a knowledge of
from generation to generation for
herein lies the power by which they
live.
Is it not commendable that a
people constantly and openly plagued 
with ridicule, sarcasm, decat,
ond rejections do not falter in
friendship to the people from when
emit the sources of their abuse?
This strength must be credited to
the patience of the Ethiopian people, 
and an inborn desire and parental 
teaching that will never let
him settle for less.
The mother and the father must
be credited with being an inspired
who endeavors to teach their offspring 
how to get the most out of
life, and how to render service
amidst exploitation, deceit, rejectin 
and an overall attitude of unfriendliness. 

Let every one of us learn that
to violate the divine s of virtue
is to sin against wisdom, pre-obtaining 
and selecting trouble for
the present and future generations
of our race; let respect for courtesy, 
kindness, consideration, helpfulness, 
patience, impartiality justice, 
honesty, faithfulness and
kindred virtues be calmly-and diligently 
taught by mothers and fathers 
of Ethiopian descent, to the
tiny babe who is just beginning to
understand. Let it be demonstrated

daily to our children; let It be
taught in our churches, written and
inscribed in our hearts; proclaimed
in every meeting place and encouraged 
by all who have wisdom
enough to realize the importance
of virtue and it power. Unkindness,
dishonesty, untruths, unfaithfulness, 
injustice, disloyalty, insincerity, 
and foolishness will all be enemies 
to our progress.
My strength is derived from God,
and virtue from kindness, faithfulness, 
helpfulness, consideration, soberness, 
diligence, patience, with
kindred virtues.
My failures in life are due to
Satan, vice or evil, dishonesty, unfaithfulness 
in my activities, unkindness, 
injustice, discourtesy, untruthfulness, 
uncleanliness, unhelpfulness, 
carelessness and like evils.
I know, if I am honest, I will
reap the benefits of honesty, retaining 
the trust of all possessed of
wisdom and honesty enough to admit 
truth. I know if I am dishonest,
I will reap the fruits of dishonesty
— a probable jail sentence, unrest
and inevitably gain the distrust of
my friends.
I have learned that If I am
friendly, I will have friends; if u
friendly, I will have enemies — I
shall reap as I have sown; I shall
receive as I have given; I shall
have done unto myself that which
I have done unto others. My debts
will be forgiven the debts of others. 

Courtesy, kindness, friendliness,
tolerance, and kindred virtues, are
an infinite fountain of life! Those

who forsake virtue and a knowledge 
bringing it into disrepute,
knowingly or unknowingly are
working against the way of life that
has aided mankind through all the
adversities of bygone ages. It is
desired that all nationalities join
hands in seeking; good not evil;
love and not hate; right and not
wrong; patience and not impatience; 
sincerity and not insincerity; 
tolerance and not intolerance;
courtesy and not discourtesy; kindness 
and not unkindness; purity
and not impurity; justice and not
injustice.
Physical sufferings are caused by
evils, Happiness is the result of giving 
and receiving of virtue. Very
often the taunts of our friends
make us become enemies of ourselves 
and others. Those who cater
to vice do not fear God. A child
needs virtue with his education,
which should include all phases of
virtue, Virtue should be granted to
all people; not only to relatives
but to non - relatives, not, only to
people of my race, for this is not
whole justice, honesty or truth —
but to all races and nationalities.
Tempest within the soul is vice
at work The teacher of every
child should try to discover the
virtuous qualities lacking in the
character of the child, Just as he
tries to discover the assigned educational 
qualities lacking, in the
child, parent and teacher should

People Of Ethiopian Descant

"I am chosen because my faith in God demands that I be
strong, brave and bold, in exhibiting friendliness, respect, courtesy, 
humility, and like virtues to all, in the face of despite and
rejection; for not all men are strong enough, or are they able
and willing to assume an overall attitude of honesty to virtue in
the face of extreme denial, and rejection."
People of Ethiopian descent must
be brought up from their earliest
childhood to regard virtue, which
is righteousness as the title deed
of their birthright which they are
to diligently seek a knowledge of
from generation to generation for
herein lies the power by which they
live.
Is it not commendable that a
people constantly and openly plagued 
with ridicule, sarcasm, decat,
ond rejections do not falter in
friendship to the people from when
emit the sources of their abuse?
This strength must be credited to
the patience of the Ethiopian people, 
and an inborn desire and parental 
teaching that will never let
him settle for less.
The mother and the father must
be credited with being an inspired
who endeavors to teach their offspring 
how to get the most out of
life, and how to render service
amidst exploitation, deceit, rejectin 
and an overall attitude of unfriendliness. 

Let every one of us learn that
to violate the divine s of virtue
is to sin against wisdom, pre-obtaining 
and selecting trouble for
the present and future generations
of our race; let respect for courtesy, 
kindness, consideration, helpfulness, 
patience, impartiality justice, 
honesty, faithfulness and
kindred virtues be calmly-and diligently 
taught by mothers and fathers 
of Ethiopian descent, to the
tiny babe who is just beginning to
understand. Let it be demonstrated

daily to our children; let It be
taught in our churches, written and
inscribed in our hearts; proclaimed
in every meeting place and encouraged 
by all who have wisdom
enough to realize the importance
of virtue and it power. Unkindness,
dishonesty, untruths, unfaithfulness, 
injustice, disloyalty, insincerity, 
and foolishness will all be enemies 
to our progress.
My strength is derived from God,
and virtue from kindness, faithfulness, 
helpfulness, consideration, soberness, 
diligence, patience, with
kindred virtues.
My failures in life are due to
Satan, vice or evil, dishonesty, unfaithfulness 
in my activities, unkindness, 
injustice, discourtesy, untruthfulness, 
uncleanliness, unhelpfulness, 
carelessness and like evils.
I know, if I am honest, I will
reap the benefits of honesty, retaining 
the trust of all possessed of
wisdom and honesty enough to admit 
truth. I know if I am dishonest,
I will reap the fruits of dishonesty
— a probable jail sentence, unrest
and inevitably gain the distrust of
my friends.
I have learned that If I am
friendly, I will have friends; if u
friendly, I will have enemies — I
shall reap as I have sown; I shall
receive as I have given; I shall
have done unto myself that which
I have done unto others. My debts
will be forgiven the debts of others. 

Courtesy, kindness, friendliness,
tolerance, and kindred virtues, are
an infinite fountain of life! Those

who forsake virtue and a knowledge 
bringing it into disrepute,
knowingly or unknowingly are
working against the way of life that
has aided mankind through all the
adversities of bygone ages. It is
desired that all nationalities join
hands in seeking; good not evil;
love and not hate; right and not
wrong; patience and not impatience; 
sincerity and not insincerity; 
tolerance and not intolerance;
courtesy and not discourtesy; kindness 
and not unkindness; purity
and not impurity; justice and not
injustice.
Physical sufferings are caused by
evils, Happiness is the result of giving 
and receiving of virtue. Very
often the taunts of our friends
make us become enemies of ourselves 
and others. Those who cater
to vice do not fear God. A child
needs virtue with his education,
which should include all phases of
virtue, Virtue should be granted to
all people; not only to relatives
but to non - relatives, not, only to
people of my race, for this is not
whole justice, honesty or truth —
but to all races and nationalities.
Tempest within the soul is vice
at work The teacher of every
child should try to discover the
virtuous qualities lacking in the
character of the child, Just as he
tries to discover the assigned educational 
qualities lacking, in the
child, parent and teacher should
work together to correct any deficiency 
in virtue, realizing that this
may be a handicap to successful
living and progress in later life.

Johnson, King
Head NPI '64
Headliner List

Named also were the three martyred 
civil rights workers — James
Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael 
Schwerner — who were murdered 
in Mississippi last summer.
The list was compiled by the editors 
of NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL 
and includes personalities
in several categories — civil rights,
government, politics, sports, theatre
and entertainment.
Lee Blackwell, managing director
of NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL 
— in announcing the selections
— called 1964 one of the "most
eventful years in the history of
Man."
Scores of persons could have
been included on the 1964 International 
Headline Makers list, he
pointed out. However, only 12 representatives 
were chosen. (The
three slain civil rights workers are
listed as one.)
Also included in the list of 12
persons who figured most prominently 
in 1964 international news —
in regards to race relations— were
Alex Qualson - Sackey, of Ghana,
the first black African to serve as
president of the United Nations

General Assembly, and Cassius
(Muhammad Ali) Clay, heavyweight
boxing champion who embraced the
"Black" Muslim faith.
Following is the complete list of
NEGRO PRESS INTERNATIONAL
Headline Makers of 1961:
1. PRESIDENT LYNDON B.

No Intention Of Quitting,
Hoover Says On Birthday
J. Edgar Hoover told newsmen

Saturday— his 70th birthday —
that he has no intention of quitting
as director of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.
Relaxing in Miami at the weekend, 
the FBI chief said: "I intend
to continue to serve my country as
Director of the FBI as long as my
health and the American people
will permit.'
Hoover has survived more than
40 turbulent years as head of the
investigatory agency of the Justice
Department.
In late November, he figured in
an explosive controversy with the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
leader or the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference and winner
of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
The FBI chief told newswomen
during one of his race press conferences 
that Dr. King was "the
most notorious liar in the country."
Dr. King had criticized the FBI
for its negative role in civil rights
disturbances in the South.
The Atlanta civil rights leader
later met with Hoover and the two
had what the Nobel Peace Price
winner described as a fruitful exnot 
apologize to Dr. King for calling
not aologize to Dr. King for calling
him a liar. He emphasized the
"misconceptions" people have regarding 
what the FBI can do in
civil rights violations, and pointed
out that the agency lacks authority
to give personal protection to anyone, 
either under the 1964 Civil
Rights Act of any other law.
Last May, President Johnson
praised Hoover as 'a magnificent
public servant" and told him that
he could keep the FBI post as long
as his health and personal inclination 
would permit.
