FDITORIAL

LOOKING FORWARD, LOOKING BACKWARD? The excuse of Governor-elect John Patterson of Alabama
is 2% inviting Negro bands to participate ity his inaugural
de cértainly meets our approval, Patterson says, as the

~eet in the fight, against the National Association for the | most
Advancement of Colored Peeple, he feels it would be embarrassing to members of Negro bands-to ask them to participate in a parade that is in actuality 2 salute to the new
governor. We think the governor-elect of Alabama is absolutely right in his decision. No self respecting Negroes, could
honestly salute a person whose every act is to keep them
in a position of second-class citizenship.

We think the time has come when Negroes should stop
feeling that they are being done special honors when they
are asked to humiliate themselves in such events. Patterson
has proved conclusively that he is no friend of the race,

and we see no reason why a group of its members should |

be called upon to honor him during his inauguration. Cer
tainly, if Negroes should participate in such a parade they}

could not do so with the same enthusiasm as members of
other bands.

When it is considered further that Negroes in Alabama
have little or no voice in the election of a governor, because
of the opposition which they meet in attempting to vote
they have every good reason for staying out the state~s inaugural parades.

There were times in North Carolina when it was considered quite an achievement for Negroes to have the governor
as the speaker on one of their programs. Thanks to the
students of A&T College, several years, an end was put
to this era when they had the courage to hiss Governor
_ Luther Hodges because of his insulting remarks in an address. Since that time, invitations extended the governor
to address Negro audiences have been few and far between.
In reality, Negro leaders are becoming of age, and no longer
feel honored to have on their programs a person who is
absolutely opposed to their having full citizenship in this
country, be he the governor or the garbage collector.

GEORGIA UNDER FIRE

Georgia is one of. the Southern States whose leaders
say will:~never~~ consent to deségregated schools. Up to
last week, Georgia had not actually had to face a court
ruling which prohibited its barring of Negro students. Now
that a FederaL.Judge has laid down a ruling barring ~race~
as a reason for refusing to admit qualified Negro students
to Georgia~s state colleges, Georgia has answered by. suspending all applications for admission.

Georgia~s white youth, planning to prepare for their
future, must now remain out of. college at any Georgia
school which refuses to admit Negroes, since any such
school must close its doors.

Of course, the ruling will be appealed all the way to the
United States Supreme Court, although the Georgia authorities are well aware of what the final will be.

This is merely a ~delaying tactic.~ But, as was recently
pointed out by a column in a contemporary newspaper, the

South will eventually run out of tricks.
