N. Ridley, Dr. R. P. Daniel, Mrs. W. N. Ridley, Mr. Clarence West, Chairman of Forum Committee. In discussion with his secretary, Mrs. Maude Ballou. ‘‘The strong man holds in a living blend strongly marked oppo sites. Not ordinarily do men achieve this balance of opposites. The idealists are not usually realistic, and the realists are not usually idealist. The militant are not generally known to be passive, not the passive to be militant. Seldom are the humble self-assertive, or the self-assertive humble. But life at its best is a creative synthesis of opposites in fruitful harmony.” ‘‘We must be prepared to sufter...even die.” ‘‘Martin Luther King is a product of the Southern Civilization and someday the whole South will take pride in his achievement. In Stride Toward Freedom, Dr. King tells how he and his colleagues were able to set the pattern of victory through non-resistance re gardless of any provocation. Someday all of America will look back upon this phenomenon as one of the greatest stories of our heritage.” Harry Golden, Editor, The Carolina Israelite Ed. Note; The poem, "A Tribute to John F. Ken nedy" was taken from a previous edition. The editor chose to use the poem as "A Tribute to Dr. King" be cause of the similarities of the two persons. Dr. King confers with Dr. Walter N. Ridley, President, Mr. David S. Coltran e, Ch airman of N. C. Good Neighbor Council and the Honorable John A. Mitchen Jr., Mayor of Edenton. ‘ /
