"The South cannot afford any
longer to maintain the status quo
position in the area of race ad

attitude of stiff resistance toward
constructive social change must
cease and desist. The South will be

“We wonder if the responsibility
for this senseless tragedy rests sole

shoulders of those who have con

Hatred, like e poisonous plant,
breeds best where it is carefully
tended and cultivated; it will fade
away and die if it does not receive
such devoted care.

After Kennedy, What?
(An Eidtorial )
Many of the persons who mourned the assassination of the
late President of the United States found themselves in a delemna
that recalled the situation that freedom found themselves in after
the attiseination of Abraham Lincoln.
Certainly the untimely death of John Fitrgerald Kennedy
should not only cause Negroes to shudder, but it is reason for
concern of all Americans who believe that a defender of truth,
right and justice stands in danger of his life, be he president or
peasant, rich man or beggar.
The shooting of Kennedy should cause Christians to take a
new look at the cause of Christ and to search their souls, ft is no
gain saying that there is something wrong with our so<called
Christian way of life. One needs to only think on the sajfki| of
die Bible, "One can chase a thousand and two can put 10,09 to
flight". Such a soul searching would readily reveal that “thl bait
has lost its savor” when a Christian nation, after all these years,
is still producing men with so much hate in their hearts that they
would ambush a man, whose only apparent fault is that he has
vowed to give every man his rights, under the constitution.
Kennedy is dead and nothing one can say or do will bring
