The Grand General Confer-
Himes Sees Negro's Struggle
As Helpful to Both Racial Groups
Dr. Joseph S. Himes, chair
man of the Department of So
ciology at North Carolina Col
lege, said in an address Friday,
April 8, the fact "that Negroes
and whites struggle through
realistic conflict for justice or
freedom or equality tends to
clarify these values for both."
Speaking as president of the
Southern Sociological Society
at the group's annual meeting
in New Orleans, Dr. Himes de
fined "realistic conflict" as
"rationally determined means
used to achieve culturally ap
proved ends." He listed "legal
redress, political pressure, and
mass action," as meeting these
criteria in the Negro's strug
gle.
Himes qualified the conten
tion that Negro aggression re
duces interracial communica
tion. "Such a view of conflict,"
he declared, envisages Negroes
and whites as hostile camps
eyeing each other across a no
man's land of antagonism and

separation.
"It is true," he agreed, "that
racial conflict tends to inter
rupt and reduce traditional
communication between Ne
groes and whites. But tradition
al interracial communication
assumes that communicators
occupy fixed positions of su
periority and inferiority, pre
cludes the consideration of cer
tain significant issues, and con
fines permitted interchanges
to a rigid and sterile eti
quette."
The first Negro president of
the SSS since the late Dr.
Charles Johnson served in the
1930'5, Hlmes said, "One con
sequene of realistic racial con
flict, then, is to bring the core
values of the society Into sharp
focus and national attention.
People are exhorted, even
forced," he added, "to think
