Don't Let Lynching Go Underground
At the outset of this war on lynching those, probably fine
meaning people who wanted to feel that lynching had disappeared 
from the face of the earth, contended that the Till murder was
not a lynching. There also were those who took issue in such a
discussion as when a lynching is not a lynching. In spite of all this
the little Till boy had died an inglorius death and was just as dead
as from any cause.
The trial of the accused persons for this ugly crime and their
subsequent release brought down many criticisms of the conduct
and final outcome of the trial. Some went so far as to allow that
the law was lynched. In the face of glaring evidence in which the
ring Till wore with his late father's initial theron, and his own
mother's firm identity of her son, the verdict brought in showed
the doubt of the jury in being convinced that the long chain of
circumstantial evidence did not place Bryant and Milan on the
scene of the murder nor as the ones who conspired and murdered 
young Till,, notwithstanding the fact that they were the last
ones seen with him alive and their own admission that they took
him from the farmhouse on that ill fated night in Mississippi.
In the old days lynching took on those horrid scenes of ancient 
human hangings in which the young men turned out with
their elders to get at first sight a picture of the early pattern of
reprisal that was initiated for the terror of the freed men. In that
the lynched victim was allowed to hang to his tree, shot full of
holes for that inerasible lesson to his coming generations.
The patent Verdicts ran: "This person came to his death at
the hand or hands of a person or persons unknown to this jury."
That was the usual end which closed the chapter of the murder.
Then lynching as such became a running sore to the chagrin
and embarrassment of the community involved. With appeal after 
appeal for the federal government to take jurisdiction in lynching 
cases, there was seen a tendency of carrying it on in more of
a private manner. In that we saw in the case of Mallard, that
victim who met his death at Lyons Georgia while riding with his
wife in a new automobile and those two couples lynched by "private 
parties" near Monroe a more appropriate form of murder
which might not technically qualify as lynchings.
We come to the Emmett Till case, still current in Mississippi,
which was enacted so skillfully as to bring on a press dispute as
to whether it were really o lynching!
When such a temperment in its contagion fixes its eyes on
the temple of justice itself, there is no wonder in a case of outright 
wilful murder, a jury would in the face of open guilt, recommend 
mercy in order to detour the culprit from the supreme penalty 
when a racial question is involved.
Those who have fought on this battle front in a challenge of
the lynch spirit and its practice should take notice of these new
forms in which the lynchings occur. To meet this issue federal laws
must be passed to give federal jurisdiction over racial crimes.

Dr. Brown — Logical Choice
Rumors persist that Dr. Aaron Brown will again serve his
adopted state in the field of education. It is said that the powers
that be plan to make him executive secretary of the Georgia
Teachers and Education Association, a position made vacant by
the death of Mr. Harper earlier this year.
Dr. Brown is the logical choice for this position. As a member
of the Executive Board and as Editor of the Herald he knows the
inner-most workings of this powerful association.
As an educator who has come through the ranks, as a
classroom teacher, as a school principal, as a college dean and as
a college president, he is well acquainted with the problems of
educators on every level. He served education in Georgia for
twenty-three years.
These qualifications alone would make him a logical choice
but we believe he possesses other qualities that label him as the
best possible candidate for the position.
Dr. Brown is first, last and always a man, in the fullest
meaning of the word.
It has been our pleasure to observe him for ten years while
he was president of Albany State College. He was never too big
or too little to come to see you about anything. He always recognized 
the worth of man in any walk of life. In his lofty position
he kept the common touch so easily lost by little men as soon as
they get in office.
Dr. Brown is a man of conviction. He will rise or fall standing
by these convictions. He believes in his race and the advancement
of the Negro to full participation in community life. It was this
stand that cost him his position at Albany State College. In face
of unsurmountable opposition he held to these convictions and
came out with a better position than the one he was holding at
the time.
It is not known whether Dr. Brown would accept the Executive 
Secretary position if offered. It is known that the state could
not find a better person. We believe the late Mr. Harper would
look down on Georgia approvingly should this choice be made.
The SOUTHWEST GEORGIAN urged a "Draft Dr. Brown" movement 
to bring this great personality back to the state, first because
we need his services and secondly to prove to the rest of the nation 
that justice will triumph over injustice in the long run.
Fellow Georgians let us act now!

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
By WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor, Atlanta Daily World
"One of the biggest jobs," a Southern newspaper editorial
writer once said, "is sorting out letters from "crackpots."
Most of them are racists in theme attacking almost everything 
from Catholicism to the kind of automobiles Negroes, should
be allowed to drive.
"We sort them out, separating the chaff from the wheat,"
the writer said, and publish those with the least emotional content. 

But some, the writer pointed out, are persistent; they continue
with telephone calls and even threats to get over their point of
view. In some instances, editors have been forced into suppressing 
information, playing up news stories to the satisfaction of theracists, 
the bigot and the die-hard who profess that their way of
life is still the popular view.
But the influence of the bigot on editors, television and movie
people, hasn't been altogether regional. Northern magazine and
newspaper editors have long labored under the fear that a few
letters from the South protesting the appearance of Negroes on
TV shows in the movies and in newspaper and magazine columns
would hurt their business. But thanks to what television has
done. It has been proven that letters from the racists mean absolutely 
nothing. Many of them who threaten to drop subscriptions
are in such a minority that big publications wouldn't miss them
anyway.
The theory that the South is so steeped in prejudice and
hatred of the Negro that, it resents seeing him on television, in
the movies or written up in top magazines is an insult to many
who live here. Prejudice cannot be measured in terms of geography. 
One book publisher reports that treatment of Negro life
from a serious point of view sells better in the South than in the
North.
Another factor is that Negroes themselves make up a great
market in the South. Magazines, television and movies get their
support from a compact market, otherwise they could not exist
in a competitive social order. It would be stupid to overlook the
Negro.
The big factor of course rests With the youngsters, those who
see Negroes in a different light, more as a human being than a
sterotype.
Such a factor can be capitalized on by enlightened leadership, 
in business, social and political life. The story of a North
Carolina mayor is significant here.
"It didn't take the Supreme Court decision to start us on the
right tract'' he said. "When we opened certain facilities to Negroes,
we faced the crackpots, the die-hards who threatened to withdraw 
their support. But we stood our ground."
Now, the mayor said, ho friction exists, those who raised a
fuss have been able to see how ridiculous they looked. And this
part of the South is allowed to move forward with the rest of
the world. And it is becoming more apparent everywhere. There
are more black faces on television, in the movies, in the magazines 
and newspapers — the same faces mind you, who worked
on assembly lines during the war, fought and died in the trenches
in Europe and Asia, faces that represent blood and sweat, torture
and death. They possess the same basic substance of all other
members of the human family. Biologically, they happen to be
of a different color. We may as well get use to seeing these
faces of ebony, brown, yellow and otherwise, for there are
millions more to come.

BETWEEN THE LINES
The serious illness of President
Eisenhower is a matter of grave
concern for the United States in
particular and the world in general. 
This great nation will watch intently 
and prayerfully that our
great President may soon recover
and be fully restored to the nation
and the world to help in the serious
matter of finding a way to peace-in
our times.
The President's illness is superpolitical 
and interest in his illness
and its outcome must not be bounded 
by political considerations. The
writer is unequivocally committed
to the democratic program and platform, 
but he is big enough to acknowledge 
that Eisenhower has
made a great President, and has
striven hard to be President of all
the people, those who voted for him
and those who did not. In other
words, Eisenhower has shown himself 
to be a personality of great moral 
breadth.
However non-partisan may be our
interest in his complete recovery,
the truth remains he is out as a
candidate for a second term, however 
reluctant the republicans may
be to give him up. The presidency
of these United States is no place
for a man with so serious an ailment 
as coronary thrombosis. The

mental and moral erosion of the office 
precludes persons of invalid
possibilities. It would be a species
of cruelty to force him to make another 
race for the presidency. He
easily could be of greater value to
the nation and world in the capacity 
of world advisor on grave matters 
of state.
Although Eisenhower has not
gone all out for full integration, he
has cast his mighty influence on the
side of a wider and fuller recognition 
of the Negro as a citizen of
the United States in conformity
with the tradition of the immortal
Roosevelt and the deuobtable Truman. 
Although Truman could not
measure arms with Roosevelt, he
nevertheless was a hard-hitter for
civil rights and set an illustrious
example which Eisenhower has followed 
in a most commendable manner. 

The fact that Eisenhower flaunted 
defiance in the face of the Old
South and stood up to be counted
on the side of true democracy, much
to the dismay of the Old South that
helped to elect him as a protest
against civil rights, is the fittest
testimonial to the calibre of the man
and this too is one of the reasons
Negroes among others should possess 
a peculiar sympathy for the
President, in the current crisis.
If it is true there has been no
civil rights legislation since Eisenhower's 
occupancy of the White
the blame must not be placed at
the door of the President but should
be made a responsibility of those
reactionary Southern Congressmen
abetted by the deceitful Northerners 
who blow hot and cold on the
color question at one and the same
time. The greater blame lies with
the latter.
Inspite of the subtle attempt to
scuttle the New Deal program on the
one hand and to copy it on the other, 
the country is experiencing one
of its greatest eras of prosperity. Of
course the blue print was laid down
by the 16-year rule of the democrats

and the lines were well marked out
for the republicans to follow and
the fact that they had the courage
to follow faithfully a great blue
print to their credit and their
greatest claim to a continuation in
power hinges about the fact that
they knew a good program when
they saw one.
Then too, within recent weeks Eisenhower 
has "talked turkey" to
Russia. Too long our statesmen
sought the role of bullies in their
dealing with Russia. There was the
subtle attempt it seemed to scare
Russia into a course of action. Eisenhower 
was willing to try a more
excellent way. He was willing to acknowledge 
it seems that Russia has
become a world power like ourselves
and no amount of bulyyism can unmake 
the fact that communism in
Russia is a going concern to the
extent that it is bidding for world
domination.
The fact remains since President
Eisenhower has taken matter in his
hand, the cold war has grown colder, 
and on the distant horizon may
be seen dim outlines of a peace the
world is praying for. At heart we
do not want war at heart, Russia
does not either, and therein lies the
hope that all the nations may see,
before it is too late, the folly and
futility of World War III!

No man is an island, entire of
itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main." —
John Donne.
No matter how ruined man and
his world may seem to be, and no
matter how terrible man's despair
may become, as long as he continues 
to be a MAN his very humanity 
continues to tell him that if has
a meaning . . .
Our life, as individual persons and
as members of a perplexed and
struggling race, provokes us with
the evidence that it must have
meaning and live according to
it. We, therefore, have something
for which to live . . .
What every man looks for in life
is his own salvation and the salvation 
of the men with whom he
lives . . . "If any man would save
his life, he must lose it," and "Love
one another as I loved you" . . .
"We are all members one of another." 

. . . Only when we see ourselves
in our true human context, as members 
of a race which is intended to
be one organism and "one body,"
will we begin to understand the
positive importance not only of the
successes but of the failures and
accidents in our lives. My successes
are not my own. The way to them
was prepared by others. The fruit
of my labors is not my own for I
am preparing the way for the
achievements of another. Nor are
my failures my own. They may
spring from the failure of another,
but they are also compensated for
by another's achievement. Therefore
the meaning of my life is not to be
looked for merely in the sum total,
of my own achievements. It is seen
only in the complete integration of
the achievements and failures of my
own generation and society and
time. It is seen, above all, in my
integration in the mystery of Christ.
. . . . Solitude, humility, self-denial,
action and contemplation, the sagarments, 
the monastic life, the
family, war and peace none of
these makes sense excent in relation 
to the central reality which is
God's love living and acting in those
whom He has incorporated in His
Christ Nothing at all makes sense;
unless we admit with John Donne,
that "No man is an island, entire
of itself, every man is a piece of
the continent a part of the main."
If you have not been, able to face
and accent your own limitations:
if you have been secretly adoring
yourselves tortured by apparent de
filement; 
if you have been failing
to live for others, go by the Vance
Avenue Branch of the Cossitt Library 
today and get your copy of NO
MAN IS AN ISLAND by Thomas
Merton and you will find that all
of us are not weak in the same
spots, but we can supplement and
complete one another, each one
making up in himself for the lack
in another. NO MAN IS AN ISLAND. 


New Plan for
Film Program
American 
Newsreel, long time favorite in
the nation's leading theatres, has
inaugurated a new plan of distribution 
of the weekly newsfilms to all
Negro Universities and colleges thru
out the country.
E. M. Gluckman, producer of the
American Newsreel for more than
15 years, has decided to release the
film, every week, to all educational
institutions, free. He feels that, in
this way, students, faculty and
young people will be kept up to date
on current events, and that in no
other way would this be practical or
possible.
Playdates for the motion picture
newsreel series are being arranged
now and the films will actually
start their nationwide circuit of colleges 
about Oct. 15. Plans are in the
making to continue the releases
during the summer months as well
as during the regular educational
term.

Hits Plan To
Close Schools
Editor Jonathan Daniels said Friday 
that those who would solve the
South's segregation question by
abandoning public schools are advocating 
a new kind of secession—
"secession, from civilization."
The Raleigh News and Observer
Editor speaking at Coker College,
said nothing make school segregation 
problem simple, but it is made
more serious by "those who step
promptly, confidently, angrily forward 
with ruthless remedies." He
added:
"And the most tragic proposal ever
made in a presumably intelligent
land is that the South solve this
great public problem by putting an
end to public education—indeed to
all education so far, as the overwhelming 
majority of the people are
concerned."

it was not.
He stated that Cole then told the
group, interceding in Horne's behalf, 
that Home was "qualified in

When he asked what that was,
Cole is reported as saying, "Let's

continued, "I don't have to draw

To Advise Gold
Coast Govern't
Sir
Frederick Bourne, formerly governor 
of the Central Provinces in India 
and of East Bengal in Pakistan, 
will arrive in the Gold Coast
next week to advise the government 
of the British colony on constitutional 
problems.
Bourne will arrive by air at the
request of the Gold Coast government 
to advise the government
and political parties on certain
constitutional matters connected
with transfer of power to the regions. 

The government decided to invite 
Bourne after it voted to establish 
regional councils. His main
task will be to outline the duties
of the regional councils and to examine 
the entire question of federal 
system of government for the
Gold Coast.
Sir Frederick was educated at
Rugby and Christ Church, Oxford.

He served with the Royal West

War I and entered the Indian Civil
Service in 1920.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT,
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, MEMPHIS
TEXT: "And he said unto him,
'Why art thou, being the king's son,
lean from day to day?"—II Samuel
13:4.
There are skinny people, plump
people fat people . . . all sort of
people. Some people are very, very
lean. We call them skinny. We fear
they are underfed. We wonder why
are they so lean, so skinny, so bony.
In the church we behold professing 
people of God, the king's sons
and daughters, and we wonder like
the text, "Why are they so lean?"
They are children of King Jesus.
They have tasted and seen that the
Lord is good. They have great spiritual 
privileges and opportunities.
We wonder, why are they so lean?
They are heirs and joint heirs
with Jesus Christ. Their spiritual
Father is rich. But they look so lean
and hungry. They act so lean and
hungry. They have no joy, no gladness 
of heart. They seemingly don't
know that within their souls there
is a well of water springing up with
life eternal. They forget that God
has prepared for them a banquet
table. They are spiritually undernourished. 
They are lean.
When we cease to love . . . love
everybody . . . . we become lean.
Yes, we have got to love everybody
. . . Those people who are funny
to us . . . all sorts, and all conditions 
of people. Let us fatten our
souls with love.
When we cease to sympathize
with our fellow creatures we become 
spiritually lean. When we

cease to give we become lean. We
read, "Give and it shall be given
unto you."
You are lean. Change your diet.
Turn to 55th chapter of Isaiah
and find there a formula, "Ho, every 
one thatthirsteth, come ye to
the waters, and he that hath no
money, come ye, buy and eat: yes
come, buy wine and milk without
money and without price . . .
wherefore do ye spend money for
that which is not bread? Hearke
diligently unto me, and eat tha
which is good, and let your sou
delight in fatness."
Now turn to the formula of the
New Testament, in the sixth chapter 
of the Gospel according to St.
John, the words of Jesus, "Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man
and drink His blood, ye have n
life in you."
Let us eat of the heavenly man
na . . . leave our leanness . . .
take on Jesus Christ and grow fat
in the Lord. Some professed Christians 
are like the housewife whose
pantry is filled with food, but Who
is starving to death.
There are spiritual blessings in
God's great pantry . . . God's provisions 
are adequate and sufficient
to meet our demands. Let our soul
delight themselves in the fatness
thereof.
"Oh, taste and see that the Lord
is good."
Yes, we are children of the King
Then, why are we so lean from day
to day?

WHY ABE YOU SO LEAN?
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT,
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, MEMPHIS
TEXT: "And he said unto him,
'Why art thou, being the king's son,
lean from day to day?"—II Samuel
13:4.
There are skinny people, plump
people fat people . . . all sort of
people. Some people are very, very
lean. We call them skinny. We fear
they are underfed. We wonder why
are they so lean, so skinny, so bony.
In the church we behold professing 
people of God, the king's sons
and daughters, and we wonder like
the text, "Why are they so lean?"
They are children of King Jesus.
They have tasted and seen that the
Lord is good. They have great spiritual 
privileges and opportunities.
We wonder, why are they so lean?
They are heirs and joint heirs
with Jesus Christ. Their spiritual
Father is rich. But they look so lean
and hungry. They act so lean and
hungry. They have no joy, no gladness 
of heart. They seemingly don't
know that within their souls there
is a well of water springing up with
life eternal. They forget that God
has prepared for them a banquet
table. They are spiritually undernourished. 
They are lean.
When we cease to love . . . love
everybody . . . . we become lean.
Yes, we have got to love everybody
. . . Those people who are funny
to us . . . all sorts, and all conditions 
of people. Let us fatten our
souls with love.
When we cease to sympathize
with our fellow creatures we become 
spiritually lean. When we

cease to give we become lean. We

Dallas Superintendent
Discusses Integration
Dr. W.
T. White, superintendent of public
schools here, told the Dallas PTA
Council that the problems of integration 
can be met only by sane, sober 
thinking and united action oil
the part of all concerned.
Speaking at a meeting of -the
council in the Leach Memorial auditorium 
of the Washington Technical 
high school. Dr. White discussed 
the magnitude of the problems
and tasks that confront persons
'who are part of an enterprise that
shapes the educational philosophies
and habits of more than 100,000
children."
He pointed out that two classrooms 
of babies are born in Dallas
every day and just providing housing 
and equipment to care for all
these children is a problem within
itself.
Dr. White said that he could not
give a definite program for the integration 
of schools, but, he added,
he is working with the board of
education that is working under the
law.
He said the Dallas Board of Education 
will continue to follow the
law because it cannot afford to
gamble with the $10,000,000 provided 
by state funds when the education 
of so many children is involved.
Dr. White reviewed a program,
published in all local papers and
sent to all interested organizations
and advised that the PTA councils
of both races appoint committees to

study the problems involved in integration. 

When these problems are identified, 
he said, joint committee
should be appointed to study them
and work out possible solutions for
them. The report of the combine
study should be submitted to the
board for consideration and review.
The superintendent stressed th
gfact that the reports must be objective 
they must be completely
honest.
"Personalities, prejudices, and
conceived notions must be laid
aside if we are to come up with
recommendations that will be work
able and as free of friction as possible. 
No person is too smart or too
busy to take part in such a study"
he said.

TO SAVE CRANES
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
has joined forces with Canada
in protesting an Air Force plan to
operate a bombing range near the
Texas wintering grounds of the almost 
extinct whooping cranes. They
are asking that some other site
should be found for the range or "a
crippling blow" would be dealt to
the birds, now only 28 in number."
The birds nest in summer in the
wilds of Canada and migrate to the
Matagordo Island area of Texas for
the winter months.
