Opinions ejcjiresMii! in by-i ->iuir.ns pubiisho] in lids newspaper are not necessarily those of the peb
iic&Unn. ,
Through this com mi tee or a political league
three n four thousand new registrants could
hr put on the books. This is « crying need as
'h :■ are only 2394 qualified Negro voters
n the city of Raleigh. Out of a potential
lO.nQO or more this small handful of votes i»
a disgrace to us all as citizens here.
Third, we should seek a oneness of purpose.
There may be those who don’t care about
working directly with others However, we
could all work for the bnefit of the same
things, and in the process we no doubt will
d i'.rovr i a new co-worker and associate where
anri in whom we may least expect.
* ■ t well-trained, well qualified and well
educated Negroes we see today.
Even though the Negro had nothing to do
v.v); the setting up of this great achievment,
!v should and does feel proud of his recep
■ city toward this idea and the advancement
■ has made under it. Through this advance
t :rnt. the Negro has proven his inherent abili*
v, to succeed in and even to master the white
man’s civilization,
JF.u'P-.r number two in the Negro's achieve
rv nf has been segregation that evil machina
tion of the white man's mind whereby the
Negro was branded as an inferior being, unfit
to mjoy and partake of his white brother’s
heritage of equality Segregation was con
ceived in evil and has been, and is being
carried on with the evil intent of domination
•td subservience. Had the Negro been let.
.Hone to choose for himself, there is ample
evidence to prove he would have gladly ae
r. pted and used whatever the white man held
and provided.
The proof of this is found in the northern
iff ns of this county where, with few excep
fh< Negro is content to sit still and <rn«
h>v ihe things owned and provided by the
white man. The exceptions are. usually South
■ rn-hurn Negroes, who carry the imprint of
segregation with them when they migrate,
i.r.rth and. in the North establish and main
tain Negro enterprises
Because of segregation in the South the
Nee,! v has achieved the limited amount of
• ■ cnnmir stability that has transformed him
i to semi-independent being. However he
s’nys away from complete economic dr
t- *f' n t
\V, have Negro drug stores and Negro bar
i„ > -.hops because, of the inability of the
Negro to be served in those establishments
hut because the white man will sell shoes and
clothing to the Negro, he sees no reason to
nnpt to operate those and several other
typt;; of businesses wherein hr is tolerated by
the white man.
True. Negroes operate many small and
medium -sized corner groceries, but when the
Mayors in Raleigh attempted to own and
vv t.-.te p. huge super market, the proiect failed
fa not enough Negroes could be pulled
anv from the white stores to support the
Negro enterprise When this Negro super mart,
opend. the manager of one of the larger white
dorr, said he was not worried because he
knew that Negroes preferred to be waited on
,y while people So the number two factor
in. the Negro's "achievment” show th it he
has not achieved from a standpoint of achieve
ment based on desire and the acceptance a .id
e> r-.'wtnfinn of ideas and opportunities, but
tint what has been accomplished has come
about largely from self-defense, which is noth
ing to get into the. pulpit and preach about.
I • lieve that if there is any such thing as disease
; iM d.-r%. Joe Louis Park must certainly take
flic led as a breed spot for disease. And, if
.!•, earners come from areas that breed
:: r:< it would follow that those Negro ser
.' vv ~. who go from their homes in Joe Louis
S ' rk mm the homes of their employers, must
carry disease
I he Raleigh City Council and the Raleigh
H'lij-.mg Authority together showed very little

public housing proiect. The Raleigh City
r> 'unri! since its beginning has failed to meet

of tSie citizens of .this city by closing its eyes
'o this crime and disease breeding area. By
■ npb expedient of annexing that territory
io the City, the residents there could have
been provided with City sanitary facilities,
n»r,-c1 and sidewalks could have bren put in
and the whole area tidied up
If you really want to get the full effect of
in .t how mad things arc in joe Louis Park go
out there during the middle of a hot day, right
f lti a rainfall, if you can possibly do so, take

BY REV. HAMILTON I BOSWELL
Cm A Religious Tolerance
Nev spapers across the coun

item released through the Asso

forts of the Rev .John E. Kelly,
director of the Bureau of In
formation of th* 7 National Ro
man Catholic Welfare Confer
ence. to discoui age New York s
Roman Catholics from attend
ing the Billy Graham Evange
listic Crusade scheduled for
that, city in the near future
Some of the reasons the print
alleged were Graham is a dan
ger to the faith" Graham's ser
vices are Protestant in na-nre—
and Catholics are not permitted
to participate in such sccvio-t
Graham does not accept th» Ro
man Catholic position that it is
the only true church Summing
up however his own doubt, the
good priest, dolefully said "Thou
sands of them probably will (at
tend! anyhow.”
And the writer of this col
umn adds a hearty Amen" to
the priest's thoughtful conclus
ion Thousands of them will at
tend anyhow, Mr. Kellys at
tempt in this column's opinion,
is decidedly unvelcoma in * o
ciet.v which has nurtured the
broader view- of religious tol
erance If such a statement, had
been published in (hat dennrm
nation's papers and magazines,
it would rot, have caused the
concern which it has
But. to announce boldly, using
the public press as its medium,
is to say the least, n complete
disregard of (he principle of
rehgiotis tolerance which is the
cornerstone of American socie
ty. Such effrontry should and
will forever, n.s long as there is
religious freedom in this coun
try, fail on deaf pars. And it
is »• tribute to the thousands
of Roman Catholics who will
attend, that, they are interested
in the religious strivings of
their Protestant neighbors
Here m America, thy Chris
tian community has learned to
appreciate the spiritual contri
butions of persons regardless of
religious differences This is
