Fuller Hits Progress Toward ‘Freedom’
Howard Fuller, 'Black Po
wer’ advocate. Informally ad
dressed students and faculty of
the C&C 400 program last Fri
day.
Fuller centered the discus
sion hour around the theme,
‘•The Chances of Freedom
Within Our Society.” He ex
plicitly narrowed the topic to
the chances of freedom for the
Negro in our society.
Reflecting the present Negro
situation upon a heritage of
white domination, one which
still dominates modern cul
tures, Fuller cited that govern
ment policy only favored inte
gration when it was to the poli
tical advantage of the individual
officials involved. For example,
he recalled the striving for li
berty and equality of mankind
by Thomas Jefferson, who in
turn held a good number of Ne
gro slaves in bondage.
He related that President
Johnson was a segregationist
when he ran for state senator
in Texas, because at that time
it was to his political advan
tage to side with the segrega
tionists of the state of Texas.
In general, history is filled with
siich political examples. When
America declares a war. It is
patriotic in nature; whe n a
foreign country wages war, it
is revolutionary in nature.
He stated that the economical
and social situation of the Negro
today is at its worst, and that
violence through riotingandre
volution could not feasibly hurt
the Negro’s present situation.
He suggested that you can’t
force a man who has nothing to
listen to sound reasoning. If
peaceful actions show no indic
ations of fruitful results, you
can’t talk a desperate man out
of attempting violent actions as
a means to ah end. He noted that
the Negro, with his back to the
wall, would not allow himself
to l)e pushed through without
Mincey To Perform in Recital
Miss Cynthia Ann Mincey,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. P.
Mincey of Nichols, South Caro
lina, will present her Senior
CYNTHIA ANN MINCEY
Piano Recital this Sunday even
ing, February 11th, in the Li
beral Arts Auditorium at 8:00
p.m.
Miss Mincey, a music educa
tion major, has studied with
Professor Dady Mehta while at
St. Andrews. She Is presently
serving as Secretary of the
St. Andrews Chapter, Music
Educators National Conference;
was a member of the Wind En
semble for three years; the
Chapel Choir for one year; and
the College Touring Choir this
year.
Miss Mincey will open her
program with a ^French Suite
No. 4 in Eb Major'’ by J.S.
Bach. Also included will be
Beethoven’s "Sonata in F Ma
jor, Op. 54’’; Ravel’s “LeTom-
beau de Couperin", and “Scher
zo in b minor, Op. 20” by
Chopin.
The public is invited to attend
the recital and the reception
which will follow Miss Mincey’s
performance.
carrying a good number of white
agitators with him.
He stated that the white man
owes every Negro the rights of
equality, and that the whites owe
the Negro for the sins of their
fathers. The Negro today does
not beg the white man for equal
rights; he merely asks for what
rightfully belongs to him.
In conclusion Fuller suggest
ed that the chances of freedom
for the Negro in .America today
could not be possible without
revolution, for this is the only
way the Negro can force the
white man to do more than just
talk about the chances of Negro
equality and freedom.
He admits that the Negro to
day is granted more freedom
than a century, even a decade
ago, but questions, ‘’Freedom
to do what? We have the free
dom to buy land in Lumber-
ton for example, but no land
in Lumberton is made available
for us to buy.”
When asked if revolution
would only make the whites
more resentful of the Negro,
and hence push the issue of Ne
gro equality back a full decade
or more. Fuller reflected that
the Negro has nothing to lose,
for their is no room left to
move back. The chances of com
plete freedom for the Negro to
day are slim without an effec
tive revolution.
