12 THE C/utOLDfIAM RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1962 ■news A(i J B HARREN VIEWS TEACHER TEMPEST ON THE ROANOKE ROCKY MOUNT At last it is out in the open! WHAT'S OUT? It's the rumbling which has be:n going on down Halifax County way up and down the Roanoke River, among the some 330 colored teach ers who reportedly have been fum ing for some time because of what they considered high-handed and dictatorial practice on the part of Halifax school administrative of ficials in fertually telling them what they had to study in the way of English in-service courses. It is known that a courageous few of Uie teachers had attempted to get ‘their case' before the pub lic without getting themselves hurt through reprisals or loss of job. A letter which appeared in a Raleigh daily newspaper seems to have touched off an investigation which led to complete exposure by the newspajrer through a story. It was revealed that ail but 13 of the colored tutors had signed for the in-service course—some with reluctance, intlmati .g that they had been indirectly threatened with loss of their jobs. The teachers say they were will ing to take the course, for the most part, but only wanted the right to have some choice in the matter ra ther than just be told WHAT to take and that they HAD TO TAKE IT. Some say they were already working toward advanced degrees Tile Halifax officials Supt. W. H. Overman and his assistant Fred Young, assert their sole aim was the improving of the curriculum for the “benefit of the 11,000 Ne gro children.” and that the matter had been before the teachers. They further contend that time was of the essence and to have waited for polling: of the teachers individually would have jeopardized the coun ty's chances of getting the $3,150 state allocation for the course. Ad ministrator Young is credited with saying “A handful of people or a I group are making a racist issue oi j what is a sound educational pro- j gram.” Thus, they attempt to! shrug off the charge. Personally, we are glad to see | these teachers come out against I what they believe to be the I WRONG APPROACH to the j RIGHT CAUSE- BETTER EDU- ! CATION FOR THE CHILDREN. | (As well as a cat likes fish, you can't make him eat it by choking him with it). We’ll heartily agre that all our teachers stand to benefit through more training. But is should be done through democratic methods. We are proud to know that th» thirteen had the guts to not sign what amounted to a ‘manifesto’. We’re glad that our old friend L. F. Bowen had the courage to be quoted on the issue; and that for once we find a colored supervisor •peaking up in behalf of her sub ject-teachers. We commend Mrs. j Bessye Shields Wilder for her! stand on the side of the tutors, | We’d like to know WHERE the ! SIX high school PRINCIPALS and the elementary school PRINCI PALS stand on this matter??? A ! report has it—too not confirmed— j that one principal was president of the teachers group, but failed to act in this instance and was re placed by a classroom teacher to lead the protest. It will be interesting to watch developments on the Roanoke Riv er front to see if there are any re prisals when the time comes for contract renewals In May, or even a year hence. Certainly, all Tar heelia will be watching with in terest to see if there is any indica ton of the curtailment of the free- ! dom of the right to protest against! what is believed to be an injustice ! or an abridgement of one’s indi- ! vidual or collective rights either 1 by the government or other per sons in public or private life. This 'expose' could have much ; of the same effect as the Eden ton 1 Tea Party of two centuries ago; and thus go down in the history ' of colored teachers of Tarheelia as “Halifax Negro Teachers’ Re-! solves." emblematic of the famed! Halifax Resolves which gave birth ' to our renowned Declaration of! Independence for which the Had- j fax County Seat is known as the ! Cradle of Liberty.

I THE GOOD IN 808 WILLIAMS This column has never been one to totally condemn Robert F. W.l --' dams, out-spoken former Monroe, N. C. NAACP official noted for his militancy, now a fugitive from i what he prefers to call "hysterical ! racism" after being charged with allegedly kidnapping a white cou | pie during racial disorders growing ! out of interracial picketing last I summer. Williams is a colored man who ! simply has more guts than you or I I have’’ That’s the undeniable i truth and I challenge you to try to disapprove it. Williams Is a black man with ; the courage of an American white | man. And we all know that the Negro in American life-—particu larly in the South—has never, no ' never, been able to SPEAK HIS I MIND with IMPUNITY about whatever he thinks as can the whites!! Williams believes and rightly so. that since he is a native American he should be accorded the SAME RIGHTS as ANY Ame rican. He says those bullets he dodged in Korea were not segre gated, not marked “colored” nor “white”. Williams also believes that Uncle Sam should not take a colored man from Monroe. N. C„ (or any other town or community) to Korea or Germany and teach him to shoot men who have not | harmed him; then bring him back |to is home or anywhere in Amc j rica and expect him to knuckle un - | der and accept segregation from | white men simply because he Ls black. He wants to speak up for his | rights just as the white man does. He can’t understand the myth of democracy among learned men. Like the little colored child who was told to “stay in your own ! backyard” becau.se her mother cooked for the ‘white folks’ and the child was to play only in the backyard. Bob Williams cannot understand such democracy And that’s WHY God permitted him to escape to Cuba and freedom. We hope he never has cause to regret ■ leaving America. We have heard many Negroes— all stations of life—praise Will iams for what he has tried to do, EXCEPT his declaration of “meet ing violence with violence”. Even a few agree in principle with that. Williams has taught us that color ed Americans, no less than white Americans, must have the courage of their convictions and be willing to stand and. if need be, die for them at home as well as abroad on foreign battlefields. And the BEST WAY TO STAND for them here is to ENROLL in the NAACP EVERYONE OF US learn to REGISTER and VOTE and them take time to VOTE and. TEACH OTHERS to do so. Then, we won’t have to resort to violence at all when we get the intelligent use of the ballot—and USE THAT AS OUR WEAPON !! Who can argue with Williams' alleged statement that “For every two Negroes attending an inte grated school, thousands lose their jobs;’’ and that the race is worse off today than ever before in U. S history; the statement that what integration we have is merely “window-dressing?” We don’t be lieve he’s a Communist, either. This column has be called Com munist because we advocate the equal rights of ALL AMERICANS or any people anywhere. We wouldn’t even know a Communist if we met one unless he told us. We soon learn a TRUE American, tho. He SUPPORTS NAACP principles. It. is reported that half of all A mericans earn less than $5,600 a year ; and American Negroes ave rage earning Is about $2,300 per year. And the cost of a college ed ucation has, since 1950, almost doubled. in-service training period of one night weekly classes. Spokesmen for toe colored tea chers were listed as being L. F. Bowen, teacher in Brawley High School, Scotland Neck; and Mrs. Bessye S. Wilder, one of the two colored supervisors, both of whom claim toe teachers were not allow ed complete freedom of choice in selecting toe courses to be studied. They contend that after an initial meeting Supt. W. Henry Overman and aSoiSuuui, Fired Young, rushed the group into signing for the course not to the liking o? many Instructors. Bowen alleges that there were veiled threats o* reprisals accompanying the de • man da for signatures to the agree c&ht to lake toe course .or the improvement of toe teaching of English. Supt. Overman and Young maintain that they sought the opinions of the teachers and out lined toe program to toe principals in particular prior to getting blanks out during mid-January in an effort to retain use of the $3, 150 state allocation for the study course.

The following poem was written from purely inspirational souixies by Annette Peterson of Miss D. S. Lane’s homeroom: MUSIC Music is delightful, Music is great, Music is fro one thing people can make. Delightful, wonderful, pleasant arid sweet: I play an instrument and make life complete. T play the bells T play them well. There are notes from A to G The tone of the bells seem to fascinate me. There are high notes, low notes and middle ones too. I play an instrument, so why don’t you?
