The Negro can ill-afford to be care
less or presumptuous about what is best
for his future in the integration struggle.
for his rightful place in the ranks as
well as in policy-making in the Ameri
can culture To disregard the gains made
in the past 100 years for a promised
place in a new society which has so
many mixed emotions about total ac
ceptance of the Negro is, to say the least,
pure folly. No good business or organi
zation discards assets, development,
good-will or the many known intrinsic
values to be found in years of becoming
knowledgeable and'trained in achieving
objectives.
However, there should be a closer
paralleling of professional groups such
as the Scruggs Medical Society, the
North Carolina Teachers Association,
fraternal organizations and the like that
have exposed the Negro to the machin -
ery of organization procedures, politics
and techniques to mold and build these
outstanding assets. To close shop, so to
speak, in an integration gesture is, in a
measure, suicidal. Certainly this is not
the case in the majority race’s many
business, fraternal, civic, religious and
political organizations. In fact, a com
munity is far richer by having parallel
civic organizations such as the Kawanis
International, Lions, Woodmen of the
World, Portuguese Continental Union
of the USA. Civitans, Women’s Clubs,
Masons. Chambers of Commerce, Min
isters’ Alliances, Ministers’ Associations,
NAACP. Citizens Association. Ameri
can Jewish Committee, Knights of Co
lumbus, Knights of Phythias, Urban
League, Junior Chambers of Commerce
and hundreds of other organized efforts
for the advancement and interest of par
ticular groups of persons
There is no reason why “Negro” or
ganizations and schools should not grow
stronger as parallels as do other organiz
ed bodies. This only means that Negro
formed or managed businesses, institu
tions and organizations should remain
to grow and prosper into even larger and
more proficient bodies with the present
day exposure to America’s mainstream
of culture. It will show, in time, capa
bilities that will allow genius to grow
and develop millionaires, aid new con
cepts and broaden, & heretofore limited
vision, because of minimum exposure tn
top standards and criteria.
The crux of the whole matter is to al
low the Negro to flourish under his own
steam with no placed barriers, handi
caps and undue racial prejudices. To be
sure, things are going for you one can
attain the heights and others would
gladly invite him and his achievements.
North Carolina Mutual, Safe Bus Co.,
Mechanics and Farmers Bank are ex -
amples of growth in North Carolina, in
spite of conditions and handicaps. Such
parallel cases would multiply, in time,
under a more able and better disciplined
Negro, in the America of tomorrow,
whose attitude is changing, to allow all
of its sons and daughters an opportun
ity to obtain the richness of its land.
Grossroot's Opinion
BISBEE, Ariz., Gazette: “Develop
ment of several birth control pills, in
cluding the newest one that can be tak
en ‘the morning after,’ give promise of
being the salvation of the world and the
standard of living every human should
have the right to expect . . . Every hu
man life brought into this world has the
right to expect being born to loving par
ents who want him, to be decently clad
and fed, and to have a reasonable op
portunity to secure an education for the
betterment of himself and the world in
which he lives. The pills are helping to
make this ideal a reality."

newspaper editor and publisher,

Desegregation Institute at St.
Augustine’s College last week.
So-called Negro businesses, organiza
tions and schools should be more used
by whites so that there would be more
mutual and corrective measures in Ne
gro-developed operations. This will aid
in vanishing the tarnish which has en
cased the vase of understanding, kind
ness and brotherhood toward all peo
ple. Negro Americans have a vested in
terest in America and a responsible as
signment to not only fit into the total
culture, but as a segment, motivated by
a heritage, we must gear our attitudes,
assets, physical and mental resources to
a point that all the world will look upon
our behaviors, achievements and asso
ciation with acceptance.
There are those who do not prefer the
responsibility of a continued parallel
building with the label of Negro. None
theless. those who feel capable of build
ing further Negro-owned and managed
enterprises should not be denied the op
portunity to test their talents to a point
of becoming recognized and accepted as
standard and no sub-standard, mainly
because Negroes control and operate
them.
These parallels should serve to de
stroy the myths that have too long been
harbored by men and businesses of both
groups and. in many instances, nurtur
ed to the detriment of better human re
lations. There is no reason for one to
believe that because a business has been
run by white people it should be ac
cepted as “the business”. By the same
token, one run by a Negro, by the rules
and regulations of good business should
be accepted and used by both white and
Negroes.
Large Negro-controlled insurance
companies, along with the North Caro
lina Mutual Life Insurance Company,
meet all of the insurance standards and
should be accepted by both whites and
Negroes for the protection desired by in
surance. The recognition of these insur
ance firms by other insurance compan
ies and other big business, could mean
that a white agent could work for the
company and have a right to go as far
as possible with the company. It should
also serve to show that a Negro can do
just c s well with a white company.
These parallels could bring about a
better relationship between contempor
ary businesses. A Negro poultry dealer,
who lives by the rules, should get the
same consideration as the white poutry
dealer. He should not be ostracized due
to his color, but should enjoy all the
rights, privliges and appurtenances per
taining thereto. These parallels would
not serve to destroy any virtues that had
permeated the business run by any per
son. They would serve as a closer bond
to build bigger and better businesses,
run by any and all, who lived up to the
code of ethics governing that business.
Color does not preclude that any one
or thing is good or bad; n.or does one of
a kind offer the complete answers to the
questions of today. Parallels are certain
ly accepted. Why should the Negro now
become the exception to his disadvan
tage?

The "gap" refers to the im

have resulted in poverty and

According to Whitney M.

comes in the shadow of the Mis
