know they are in for a ftght, two
« the moit powerful militant or
gan>zations in the nation have join
ed hand* and vow that thev are in
North Carolina to make freedom
H'"hway work.
Thia was demonstrated when
farmer of CORE and Roy
Wilkins, NAACP executive seereta
*T • l, l** r *d on the same platform
ai St. Joseph Church. Sundav after
noon and told more than 1.200 per
son* that the four peoole who were
serving a 80-day jail sentence in
the Durham County were makine
a hi* sacrifice and that the least
those who were free could do was
to let the world know that they
were not in iail for a losing cause.
Rev. B. Elton Cox. who faces a
prison term in Baton Rouge. La. for
sitting in the front of a bus vowed
that he would rot in jail so that
Justice could prevail. He was Join
ed by Attorney Floyd McKisvick
Rev. W. H. Fuller, Council J. S
Stewart and many others. The A.
M. E. Zion Church through Bishop
R L. Jones, told the crowd that the
denomination was fully behind the
movement and would lend all the
support necessary.
Dr. Reginald Hawkins, Charlotte
dentist, was determined that he and
many others were tired of being
mistreated and were out to enjoy
the full citizenship that the consti
tution guarantees.
The leaders served notice on ma
ny other cities that they would be
there and if they were not ready
to get in step with the intemation
r ’ wave of freedom that they would
be out of step with the world. The
speakers pointed to the fact that
America could no longer say to the
rest of the world that it was the
essence of democracy and yet de
ny a citizen the right to eat in rest
aurants strewn along the highways
of the nation because of their color.
It was reported that some pro
gress was being made tn towns like
Green boro. Salisbury and Wilson
The following report came from
Green boro:
The Hot Shoppe chain of restau
rant* In Greensboro announced
this week through their attorney,
ArmtaUsd Sapp, that ita facilities
are now integrated and that the
Red Shoppes had decided to serve
Nkgraet if the; sought service
This ahtion was the result of con
centrated CORE sit-ins and pieket
tef demonstrations which were
conducted during a two-week Con
gress of Racial Equality workshop
was held in Greensboro during Ju
ly.
Two Negro couple were served,
for the first time, shortly after noon
on Monday.
Two bodies of the Baptist Con
vention, meeting ip annual session
here last week went on record as
supporting the drive and told the
leader of the integration fight that
they were behind the movement
with all the force they could must
er.
ODDS-ENDS
BY BOBEKT G. SHEFARD
“God baa not riven as the
spirit or feu-.”
FEAR.' FEAR! FEAR!!
It Is always a pitiful sight to be
hold grown men completely domi
nated and controlled by fear Tt is
pathetically pitiful when fear grins
the hearts and minds of men who
have been Invested with the public
trust of seeing to the law being
executed without bias partiality,
discrimination or prejudice.
Perhaps the greatest spectacle
of fear ever witnessed in this city
wes displayed during the last meet
ing of’the Raleigh Citv Council by
Counrilmen En loe. Reid. Tomlin
son, McLaurin and Hoover during
the stupid discussion whether or
not Negroe* had a right to use the
swimming pool at Pullen Park.
We say It was a stupid discus
sion because each person taking
part In tt wes over aware of the
fact that Negroes had as much right
In that pond as Mexican*. Japa
netc. Caucasians. Indisns or any
other racial group.
After the long and pathetic dia
eussion about the matter despite
the practical. ’or : ">' '■id common
tense argument of Councilman
Winters, who was seconded in his
stand for rea«on and fair play by
Councilman Coffov. *he five fear
ful. little men. Er.lne. Reid. Tom

cumbed to their prejudice and vot
ed to close not only the pool at
Puller. Park but also the Chavis
Park pool.
And what did they base their er
roneous conclusion on' The mayor
taid that the presence of Negroes
in the pool would frighten white
people sway and *hen the pool
would not make enough money.
Tomlinson said in effect that he
weait going to have minorities
fNegroes' telling the city what to
da McLaurin. who has been herld

faeh a thing was premature. Can
vea imagine the enforcement of
anything legally and morally right
t»»ifig held back because :t is pre
mature Councilman McLaurin said
that the enforcement of the right of
Negroes to swim in the Pullen
Park pool was premature.
And what does all of this add up
to and prove. Well, among other
