Family Threatened
<CONTINUED FROM PAGE I t
Sr., supported his wife’s views
and said "we are interested only
in obeying the law of the land.”
The threat's began Monday
with the receipt of a letter,
allegedly written by she Wake
County Patriots of North Car
olina. A similar letter was di
rected also to the Raleigh
School Board Both contained
threatened undertones. This
was followed by a bomb threat
and a “warning” telephone
rail on Tuesday.
Addressed to Joseph Holt, Sr.,
father of the young student, the
letter was unsigned Efforts to
contact members of the Wake
County Patriots have been futile.
Mr. Holt’s letter said:
“It has been reported that you
have entered an application for
the admission of one of your chil
dren to a high school maintained
for white children.
"We suggest and request that
you withdraw that petition for
admission.
”W hite people are glad to
help pay for the education of
your children. They are not
very happy, however, about
your trying to push into their
schools. These schools are an
extension of their homes, pro
vided for the training of their
children. We would object
equally strongly to allowing
white people to intrude into
your school and your home,
"We should like to have condi
tions of peace and goodwill to
continue between the white and
Negro people of this region.
"Your act helps to destroy that
peace and goodwill."
Mr. Holt said that his de
sire to transfer his -son was
“sponsored by no organization
except Mrs. Elwyna Holt and
myself.”
“We want what's best for our
son and we think it would be best
ior him to attend Broughton."
The Holts live only about
six blocks from Needham
Broughton High, but the dis
tance between their home and
Ligon is approximately three
miles.
They sought to have young
Holt entered during the 1956-57
school year, but the application
was filed too late.
The Raleigh School Board has
set a definite date to decide on
the youth’s application: Tuesday,
August. 6.
Mrs. Holt said a man tele
phoned her home t uesuay and
said, ‘n am going to bomb your
home and blow you up.' Be
fore he could continue, Mrs.
Hoit said she hung up the tel
ephone.
A few minutes later a wom
an called and told the mother
that she didn'l like the idea
of Mrs. Holt trying to get her
son admitted to a whit*
school. The woman suggested
that the application be with
drawn. '
Neither of the callers identified
themselves.
Joseph, Jr. is the Holt’* only
child.

Board follows'
"We urge you to reject all pe

“It also was stated that a Ne- ,
ci o library was closed due to j
ihe lack of interest by the Ne
gro people. Thai we will 'ad
mit, (that is if you could hard
ly cal! it a public library).
We know it was a makeshift
move >ri order to keep us from
the Sinithfield Public Library.
We visited that library on sev
eral occasions and we seldom
found it open, and had to gain
admittance from Mrs. Wood
ard, next door, who was the
part-time librarian, and if it
was in the summer we would
have to open the windows and
doors and wait outside for (he
rooms to coo! so that we might
enter.
"If it was in the winter, how
ever, we would proceed *o light
the small two-burner oil heater
in the middle of the room and
wait until it was warm enough to
remove our top coats and proceed
to study. Sometimes we wond.n
how in this world did we Nesrors
ever accept it In such deplorable
condition.
“We feel that the Issue Is not
should the library be opened to
Negroes, hip it is a moral wrong
in the first piece for closing is,
doors to the Negro, due to the
fact public funds were appropriat
ed. Wo know it never should have
been closed.
‘‘Yes Mr. Mayor and Library
Board Chairman, our inspiration
comes from outside sources and
it has been embedded into out
hearts by our constant prayr,*
and faith in God and the dedica
tion to God’s eternal works."

| Charlotte refused to transfer thir
: ty-five, Winston-Salem, three, and
I Greensboro, one.
i Six will be transferred at
i Greensboro' five at Charlotte and
I one at Winston-Salem.
The decisions were reportedly
: made on the merit? in individual
; applications and in accordance
i with the provisions of the state's
i Pupil Assignment Act. which gives
! local education boards authority
; to assign pupils to specific schools
"so as to provide for orderly and
efficient administration of such
puolic schools . . “The act does
not mention race.
School boards in the three
cities mentioned and In Ra
leigh have had the reassign
ment requests since just after
the last school year ended.
According to many legal ex
pert.- the limited desegregation
approved Tuesday night will im
prove the state's legal position in
administering the Pupil Assign
ment, Art and the Pearsall Plan,
which provides for local option
elections to close schools and tui
lion grant payments as steps to
avoid forced "mixing.”
