The good leadership of Mississippi should

peace and chaos, and it will taka strong leader

BETWEEN THE LINES
LET HER DHH
Those dying groans we are currently bearing
are those of the Old South! The weeping and
gnashing of teeth, currently prevailing shout tits
South, derive from the die-hard sens te the Old
South, the arch Negrophobes and tils beaten
down anti-Negro press, wo have at last hod to
bite the dust of ignomlnous defeat in their futile
but furious fight against the onward march te
civil rights legislation.
When I was a lad on the plantations of the
South, the death tea wealthy plantation owner
was a community-stirring occasion Os course the
poor came and went, were bom and died, aa a
community routine with nobody caring a heck
about it But then, when a plantation sorter
died, there was a general stir from plantation to
plantation, whites and Negroes alike went about
the business te "mourning” seriously. Even Ne
groes who were glad to sea the deemssd take bis
flight to worlds unknown "mourned too", even as
slaves of a hard-taskmaster "asommed” when
"Mama was laid in the cold cold ground.”
There was the custom in those dips to keep the
passing plantation master alive as long as pos
sible. by propping them up in toed with many
ptlllows. I remember hearing te .a community not
able who was dying two weeks, because of ths
pillows ground him. Then after all hops of survi
val wss gone, the family held a caucus and da
bated when to pul! the pillows out. sad whose
shoud be the solemn task. When to pull the pil
lows out became a serious question!
This remembrance of former times was forced
upon us by the mighty enactment in Washington
during the filibuster over tbs civil rights legis
lation. When President Johnson, the mighty nun,
decided that there wood bs a tori! rights bill, it
Just became a matter te times when a decision
had to be mad* about pulling out the pillow from
under the dying bead of the Old South. And when
the Senate voted for cloture that was signal that
the pillow bad been pulled out and with cloture
came the demise of the Old South, which has
been to the Negro such grsrious affliction. The
ISSUES: GOOD AND BAD
Now that w* will soon have a civil righto tow
(not perfect, but tha bast yet). It to up to us. and
our friends, to make the most of tt Although I
glory in those demonstrations that are designed
to break the deadlocks, I aa well aware that man
does not live by demonstrations alone. During ths
drive to enact the civil righto law. there were
many persons, friends and enemies of the cause,
who proclaimed that enacting a law meant little
if the hearts of the people were not captured.
Most of the people who resort to such thinking
are really in favor of equality for all Americana.
They say that they are. but even while they talk,
they have in mind that freest percentage of
white Americans who can be Incited to oppose
legislation. These "friends" of ours don’t want
anything dona that will rils the great mas of
whites.
I can Join these hesitant "friends" who tnsrt
that you must capture the heart even while en
acting laws It is Just as Important to capture
the heart as It is to stage demonstrator* to dram
atise Issues and to get laws enacted. After Presi
dent Johnson signs the civil rights bill, it wil not
do us good to toot for taring's sake. It's going to
be all right If you NEED to use a public accom
modation of any sort to seek such accommoda
tion. but not Just for ths fun of it. You go into s
restaurant because you are hungry, not Just to
sea that the tow is working. Or. you seek lodging
because you nasd some place to rest overnight,
not for the sake of testing.

May the world, wondering world, hear at 1? ;t

met its Waterloo, and may her dying groans be
heard around tbs world to warn oppressors th~,

Pltwersd Kennedy falls upon the shoulders of a

The pillow has been pulled from beneath the
head of the dying Old South. Let it diet Let it
die! let it die! All the kings hones and all the
king’s men cannot make the oppressive and segre
gation-riddened Old South live again. Who would
have believed men of this generation would have
lived to see the Old South on the run beaten to its
knees, its master-minded Harry Flood Byrd and
all. Who can fail to thank God for letting him
see this day. Let It die! Let it die! Let it die! The

I dined at a beautiful restaurant operated bp too
brothers (colored) In Atlanta, Oa. These men
bare done all they could to set proper standards
for their business. But they have a problem. They
hare not been able to get over to a lot of Negroes
who want to come In without th?lr coats (the res
taurant is air-conditioned) and they dent want
to take off their hats after they get In. There
are just too many Negroes who want to look and
act like bums regardless of where they ve or who
Is looking at them. They don't give a hoot. The
same thing Is true of many Negroes riding in
public conveyances. With their smutty and smel
ling work clothes on. they feel no compunction
flopping themselves down beside the most elegant
ly•dressed lady, white or black.
