Student Sit-Ins
The deputy assistant secretary
of state for public affairs said
at North Carolina College Mon
day that sit-in demonstrations
benefit i>oth white people and
Negroes in the South.
In asserting the right to “ex
tend further the sphere of de
mocracy in the United States
in tile eye.s of the world," Carl
T. Rowan, himself a Negro, said
in a forum presentation at NCC
that victories won by student
demonstrations not only entitle
Negroes to certain benefits of
freedom but also enable white
people to feel freer and to show
the decency of which they are
capable.
He .said the most tragic mis
take Negro students could make
is to feel apologetic as though
theirs was a selfish action.
White sympathizers, he con
tinued, al.so mistakenly believe
that they arc “doing the Negao
a favor."
