A SERIOUS INDICTMENT
» - ■
George S. Schuyler in a telea£« published in a large nuniber of
Negro newspapers last werfc accused educated Negro leaders of
‘giving little or no assistance to tiie organization of Negro workers
in vaat labor movements) of the past year."
We quote here from Mr. Schuyler's article, ptiblished in the
November issue of the Crisis.
“Their desertion of the struggling Negro workers in th® crisis
"constitutes ono of the most shameful chapters in our recent his
tory,” the article declares, “The new* position Negro leadership has
won in the past year has been in spite pt the old leadership. I.; has
bees ^»0A~«itkji£v Issden^ip militant, young men and women
shovel and the bla^it furnace.”
Thia is a serious indictment of educated Negro leaders and is
worthy 6f careful consideration. If Mr. Schyler’a charge are true,
and certaily a casual glance mafcesi them appeilr to be .true, then
there is something wrong with the kind of education Negroes .ar«
getting.
Frankly we feel that Negroes who have had an opportunity tc
rub their heads against a colltge wall oug^t to shoulder the res
ponsibility of leading the race out of economic ^aos. They ought
to lead the struggle against not only discrimination within the
ranks of oi^anized labon but alt along the Me of racial confUct.
