Hancock FACING THE UGLY FACTS The time is at hand when Negro lead ership must stop specializing in playing up the race’s feelings, and instead, play up the facts pertaining to the Negro’s cur rent struggles for full citizenship. Our leaders have become too prone to play up the “pretty” facts and play down the ugly ones. When I was teaching my class in Race Relations in Virginia Union Uni versity, I made it a rule to assign for col lateral readings the books by the most rabid Negro-phobe extant. The students quietly rebelled, as I had anticipated, and wanted instead to read writings by friend ly disposed whites, who said “nice and encouraging things” about race relations that soothed Negroes into thinking that full citizenship was right around the corn er. My argument, then as now, is that it is the rabid Negro-phobe who is the real problem, and by all means wc should know what he is thinking and how to meet such thinking, for let us not be deceived, the white man is doing some serious thinking, and the average white man is the department had received information that led them to believe that the food was be ing taken out by persons con nected with the company, or persons who had full knowledge of the warehouse.

He closed the message with an excerpt from his famous Howard University speech, June 4, 1965: “Freedom is the right to share fully and equally In American society—to vote, to hold a job. to enter a pub lic place, to ?o to school.

Kilpatrick, editor, Richmond News Leader, got down to the grit of racial mis conception here Friday night when he spoke at N.C, State University. The so-called conservative editor said that he was in sym pathy with the Negroes in patience with the indignities that had been heaped upon him and said, “I would itch with impa tience if confronted with the 29th century inequities of the Negro.” The speaker felt that the Ne gro was justified to seek re dress from bloody revolution to North Carolina’s Leading Weekly RALEIGH, N.’C., SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1967 say nothing of non-violent pro testation. H<* placed the job of full recognition oi the Ne gro's rights at the feet of the law makers of the states. He felt that it was incumbent upon the states to improve the lot of the Negro within the law of the states “acting independent ly and separately.. .t o make men’s civil rights secure.” Mr. Kilpatrick saw no need for the states to have to have federal control to make this possible. He said that states could improve the civil rights of Negroes by the encourage ment ol free speech and free press, “by striking down fool ish and obsolete laws that stretch vain nets against ideas that come like the wind.” “1 thin; there is much the states can do to create an at mosphere in which all men are free to rise as high, or to fall as far, as thi-ii luck and skill and Industry may take them,” Kil pa trick said.
