Let Your Conscience Be Your. Guide
(An Editorial )
People with political aspirations who claim they want to
represent the people have a sorry way of showing it at times. We
have no quibble 'with anyone who offers for office. This iss an
American privilege. But we take a firm stand on the need for not
just representing all the people. Raleigh needs some candidates
who .will represent the interest of the Negro segment along with
the interest of Raleigh generally.
It is all rigid for the political minded to preach a politcal
sermon about representing all the people in order to gather as
many votes from white people as possible for their self angrandise
ment. But the fact still is with us that the main reason the general
public expects a Negro to run for office is that he or she would be
concerned with the problems directly affecting us . . » not the
political future of Mr. and Mrs. politician.
One big question confronting a huge residential area here 5s
how will hundreds of residents who stand to lose the titles to their
homes under the redevelopment, program fare when their section
is ravished? The little money obtained from the city and Federal
government will not replace home ownership. Today’s market hat
gone three to four times higher than when many of these people
bought their homes. Few are young people, educated to demand
the high dollar because of their training. Their savings is small,
their homes are moderate and their voices are many times unheard
by their so-called leaders or anyone else.
This predicament of our people in blighted areas, along with
many other needed areas of interest especially training and eco
nomic need attention by people who are concerned about the wel
fare of these Raleigh citizens. With the May Primary, some three
months in the future, it is reasonable to ask the public to submit
publicly a list of suggested candidates.
If we are as interested in politics as our registration shows
and our efforts in the past few years would denote certainly, we
