JACKSON To earn a plsce on the Ameri- car Olympic Team is an honor that is oherisht-d by thousands of athletes every four years. To have the opportunity to *in a sold medal at the Olympics is highly prized. To win in oomih'tition against the world'.s best athlete.® after arduous trials, stimulating travel and with the eyes of mil- liors focused on th« all out efforts of determined contenders, is tin consummation of a life’s dream for many athletes. Indeed thi Olympic Games have a singulai quality transcending any other athletic event. Yet, despite the unique attraot- ivenF.ss of the Olympics there are those who hold that Negro youth should boycott the Olympics, Thi.* opinion seems to be based on the belief that in thi.s period of ,social revolution Negro athletes should join with the sit-ins. stand-ins and others on the battlefield of social protest. As Mai Whitfield, former Olympic champion stated. “It is time for American Nesro athletes to join in the civil rights fight— a fight that is far from won, de spite certain progress made dur ing the past year. For the most part, Negro athletes have been conspicuous by their absence from the numerous civil rights battles around the country. Continuing this vein of though, suggestions have been made that Negro athletes, after qualifying for the team, should refrain from participating in ti»e Olympics, Some' claim that all is fair in war and that the present social revolution is a sophisticated form of warfare. By not taking part in the Olympics, the protestors hope ThS world aiienm centered on the plight of the American Negro and that ihe re sulting loss of prestige, humilia tion and pre.ssure would hasten the downfall of segregation and of equal rights for 1 futile efforts. Certainly, worthy ' j end.i are not gained through unre-1 th? securin all, ^ Most as.Huredly, the demi.le ol sp;regatlon in the United State* is sought fervently by many libe rals: and, vithout doubt the Civil ItiRhts Movement has sounded i call to Negroes that eannut and should not be denied. Protests are I'oedi'd and should continue until ^rgre,‘Tatlon with Its attendant rvils is banished from the land. Yet, despite the validity of the oriite.st movement, sertoiis doubts • 'xist as to the value and wisdom of intr«>duc’nK the struggle fot racial •'quality into the Oympk Ci.imos, To the public the connec tion between Equal nights and the Olvmpic Games Is non-existent and the attempt to establish one uay result in alienating pre.sent fiiends and antagnniiing those who art* uncommitted. Th* Strug- "le for more Jobs, the end of dis- rriminatlon in public places, bet ter housing, vot'ng privileges and related rights are very real goall. The question is, would their *c-^ cumplishments be nearer if Neg^ athletes boycotted the Olympics? In Olympic Games of tbe pa|it American Negroes have scq^ltUd themselves with distliictipn apd their sparkling deeds are still in the record books. Furthermore, the feats of Jesse Owens, Mai Whitfield. Harrison DiNard,« tJlis Williams and many, ■otheVs, too numerous to mention, still linger in the memories of those who a^l- mirc the speed, power’ grace that these champioris di.splayed. What would be gained attempt ing t‘) c.onyince th#if prea^Ht^y counterparts that they sh6uld biy- cott the Olympics? Would the thrust for racial justice be £dde^? Experience 'appeaiv; ’ lb indicate I specific casudl >agents, - or in.stltu ! ions, are ineffeetiVe. Witness the ' recent abortive prdte.st- at the ; opening ^f the New York World’s I Fair as an example of un.vise and Isted means regardless of one’s desires. .-Mso. it shoidd he noted that for the first time an Ameri can Negro is one of the coaches of the men’s olvmpic track team; nsmelv, (’oach Eddie Hurt of Mor gan College, Might not it he n more effect ive weapon for Negro rights and for the education of white and black, if Negro athletes demon strate in 1064,, as previously, that athletic prowe.ss knows no color distinction? Would not fine per formances by Negro athletes at Tokyo .show the Orient, and the rest of the world, that Americans of color are highly skilled individ uals with talents to those of other peoples? It may be said that this has been done before without obvious benefits. Yes, but it should be remembered that In dividuals and nations must con tinue to meet the challenges the? face. Arnold Toynbee has stated that the ri.se and fall of nations and civilizations has through his tory depended on their abilities to meet the challenges of their tines. Negro youth will not be demonstrating that they can meet challenge by staying home, boy cotting the Olympics and not ex hibiting their considerable talents. A few years ago Charles John son. at that time President of Fisk University, declared. “The is'ue today is human equality and national civil rights, and the touch.stone is the racial segrega tion that prevents this human equality." Living symbols of that human equality *111 be evidenced in the 1964 Olympic Games at Tok yo by the participation of American Negroes thu.s helping to attain are striving. On the otherhand, boycott of the Olympic Games wtiuld not only be usele.s.s, it would be folly.
