We honor god by little acts of simple justKe, We honor God by truthfulness.

Everyone in AmericajWho owns a television set — and this means more than 90 p«r cent of the population — must have seen a remarkable change on the TV screens duPifig the past year or so insofar as the appearance ard casting of Negroes is concern ed. The Negro has been, seen as juryman, judge, scientist, school teacher, secretary and Social worker. He has been shown on school campuses and m classrooms, as a participant in panel shows, discu.ssirg everythin? from the cold war to athletic contests. On game nnd Quiz .shows, his knowlt‘dp« has won him thousands of dol lars. In short, the Negro is final ly being shown as «>he really Is The stereotyped role to which he had been limited — usually that of a menial and which has so handicap ped his progress i»i America and his acceptance as a fi\i- man being, is being altered. FTiergi'’K i»i its stead i s a more realistic image. It is imnossihle to calculate or even comprehend, at th's point, how important this new televMiop projection is to the improvement of race relations. Yet. an informed critic, such as .Tack Gould of THE NEW YORK TIMES, has gone, so far as to spculate that: “The sociologist of tomorrow may' find it was television more than arvythine else that final ly penetrated the huee camo. of the uncommitted, i*'dif- ferent wtiite millions ... to persorial'ze the Negro's appeal to society’s consciR"ce. to touch the individual thinkine of a viiewer im the nrivacy of his own home. That is t*ie un known force now .silently making itself felt.’ This chargimg Negro image i on television didn’t “Just hap- pen.’ It came about through the concerted effort is of broad- cast«rs, advertieing agencies and sponsors. It was initiatel by The New York State Com mission for Human Rights which is still woking t^ ex- r-nd it. Last year, both NA- , ,'P and CORE became co operating organizations, the latter working especially in the area of televisi'Dn com mercials which, up until a year ago. had not shown one Negro. The SCHR effort was st.Trl- ed by its Chalrmaf, neorue Fow'ler, who borrowed GeorRe Norford, brilliant young pro ducer, frcm N.pC, to ser'Ve as his TV consultant. Norford is eminently qualified. He is al so a Negro. There is still some foot-dragging and inHifferenee on the part of certain' people in the industry. In many in stances, too, only token steps havp been taken to meet tlie challenge. -But, by and larsr, television and its allied ilnter- ests have learned that it makes a lot of sense in the natib"al interest, as well a.s its own, to let the Negro be seen as he exists in fact, in American society. While Negroes talk amp”(; themselves about this steadily improving picture which in creases their employment pro spects, as well as affecting their whole image, seldom will they send a letter, of praise to a network, sponsor, station or' program producer responsible for brineil-g the change about. On the other hand, while the Necro re mains silent — withholdmg en couragement — those who op pose the effort let themselves h» heard.
