AT FISK RACE RELATIONS INSTITUTE t' I Negroes'Allegiance to Democratic Party Makes For Continuation of Suppressive Laws, Prof. Says JUNE 21:—The Negro voters’ current regional trend toward the Democratic party is “consolidating 8nd alliance” firmly committed to the perpetuation of discriminatory laws and practices against. Negro voting a political scientist said here today. Dr. Avery Leiserson, a member of the faculty of Vanderbilt Uni versity Nashville, told the more than 100 persons attending the 17th annual Race Relations Insti tute at Fisk University. "As far as we can sa«, Ne groes will continue to act poli tically as a solidary pressure group in local communitiet in the hope of extracting bttt^r services for themselves — beN l«r police proection, better schools and so on. But In the Broader regional picture they are tending Ito vote hi the De> mocratic party and are there by consolida’Ing an alliance of - the urban middle class and the 'black-belt' rural counties." The proper political strategy for the Negroes said Dr. . Leiserson, would be to “try to establish a working alliance with the urban industrial and commercial classes in the cities which are tending to vote Republican. At the least, they ought to engage in a bi-partisan political strategy.” The Race Re^ationtf Institute which will continue through the morning of Friday, July 1, is spon sored by the Board of Home Mis sions, Congregational C^risfian Churches; and Fisk University, with the cooperation of the Na tional Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A. Dr. Herman H. Long, professor of sociology at Fisk and director of the Race Re lations Department of the Congre Rational Christian Home Mission Board, is dran of the Institute. Dr. Leiserson said that the "fundamental explanation o f Southern politics li«s in the hardcore counties and seo- iions, these 'bieck-belt" counties in whi«h assorted "seek the maintencance of white control over a socially, economically and politically retarded colored pop ulation, and upon this basis pre sent a solid regional front upon Ih erace question."
