PIGS IN THE PARLOR

The conduct of a group of southern senators fig liting .to prevent the passage o f the anti-lynching bill reminds us more of pigs in a parlor l^an anything we h*ve obsorved in years. Like nwsrt Ameri­cana ,W9 are unaSle to understand why a small group, of half-wits arc pennitted to tie up the legislative body of th e entire nationt' But when it is realized th a t only in rare instances are capablo southerners elected to public office the monkey-shines cut by sena­tor* from the south may be easily understood.

I t so happens th a t you can not change a pig into « senator m ere­ly by dressing him up" in senatorial clothes. Little, narrow minded short-sighted, brainless men elected to public office merely because of their ability^to squeal loud , "sling and wallow in mu() w i l l re ­so rt to t^ieir pigrgish habits regardless of whether they are in a flouthen pigpen, or the senatorial parlor of the nation.

XTie squealings of “Pig” Bailey from North Carolina, as well as th a t of Boa hog Bilboa, or should we say Boa Bill Hog, from the pig pens of Mississippi are typical of the men the South must, fo r fo r the present, depend upon for. representation in Congress.

Democracy is a gov^rnnjcnt where a m ajority of the people .ara •apposed to rule. B ut what do the words democracy and govern­m ent mean to pigs- The only language understood by any pig is the famous hog call, known to all southerners which means corne and get the slops. And who has euer seen' democracj^ or government given a chance when hogs or pigs are partaking o f slops. The sight and the odor are <both offensive to all believers in democracy.

U nfortunately fo r the south, and fo r America, its men of brains, integrity , foresight and eharactej* are seldom, i f ever, elected to polilic office.

' To judg€ all southern white people by thoSe poor decrepit _in iS e senate who would strangle unto death th e people o f tM§ na- tioa by tying up its legislative machinery, m erely fo r the' purpose of carrying out some hoggish nrtion, ia unfair to, t^# south and un- ju i t 'to its-thousands of fairr^inded-young white jn e fr" ’and women

THE SECOND GENERATIONOF NEGRO LEADERSHIP

Sevtral weeks ago I promised releases upoB Negro leadership of thp Bocond and th ird genora- tSpns. C urrent happenings of timely In terest and Importftnett caused the postponement t>f th is promise.

My own generation was the c rea tu re .^ f philanthropy and ^ a s nurtured on the milk of human kindness. Northern philanthropy built bur schools and colleges and gave the first tuition whftn started up on the upward path of life. This philanthropy has been lam entably disappointed in that my generation did not pro­duce an adequate of conseicrated and competent men and woman to recruit the higher stations of leadership as guide, philosopher and friend tg the_ masses. But a milk-fod generation is like to be puny and to be wanting in the vigorous qualities which effective leadership demands. My genera­tion sought a place in the shade ra ther than in the |u n ; it has expected philanthropists toi hold the umbrella over its head. T’ae rfhder growth which is shaded and sheltered by the overpower­ing oaks of the forest must pay the price of being i^mt out from the sun. ^

A subject minorfty group w ith­out territorial control li_ke the Negro in America m ust needs play the secondary role in its own leadership. The political, ec­onomic and industrial life of the Negro is controlled by the white race. The Negro leadership is confined to establishing the

^ fls vivendi between the races and to regulating certain segre­gated activities within his own race. No such leadership as th a t exhibited by Toussaint L’Ovet- tu re is p«.i^ble fo r the American Negro and his compeers because he lacks racial territoriality . M ar­cus Garvey’s futile attem pt a t an all sufficient Negro lea3ership was magnificently absurd.

■who have not yet been heard on tjne anti^ynching measure and otiier ju st and righteous causes.

Now, we of the south are represented Iby # group^ of^ shortsighted, uncouht. and political pigs. But soon and very sow we i£iall send to Congress men whose vision and ^resig ih t are broad enough and big enough to make them be heard. TJntil then the piggish squeals of southern senators must be born witSi pa- tieace and enduranee^ and our senatorial parlor m ust echo and re- ©ciio with their piggish squeals and remain besmirched with their mud slingring and offensive odor, “pigs is pigs."

Negro voter* .must n o t be misled by proponenfets of the bill that Durhaig needs an a irport if it is,to keep-pace w ith thfe p ro g re s s^ , o ther cities ip N o r^ Carolina. In the firgt place Kegroes a re n o t perm itted to ride airplanes in 'o th e r cities, and in the second place The^^arolina Times can not place its approval on an expenditure o f $300,000 fo r an a irport while Negri'o schools . remain in th e de- plora3>le condition they are a t present. We do no t believe Durham will be more liberal towards Negroes who desire a ir tran sp o i^ tio n than i t ha* been towards Ncigioes who desire an education. C

The Carolina Times regrets th a t it can not follow t'he lead of “kifgre^tve’' citizen* fo construfct an airport fo r Dui'ham.

leader — Booker T. Washing^ton who became the Negro’s ambas­sador to. the white world. He was fu lly accred ited an d fo r a q u a r ­te r o f a cen tu ry was accep ted a* #he spokesman of his rA e and dictated the policy of action “by which whites and blacks were guided^’' North and South alike regarded him as the la w gFver in all m atters concerning the Negro. Harvard, Yale and Princetoa de­corated him with their most learned degrees. Millions of phi­lanthropic dollars fo r the educa­tion of th^ Negro were spent ac­cording to his word and say fO. The South shaped its school pro­gram according to 4iis pedagory. He became the outstanding edu­cator of his generation not 'jn ly fo r Negroes b u t fo r ^ h i te s as well. He did m pte than any other individual to make manuel tra in ­ing .a p a r t of educational proce­dure o.f his day and generation. So g reat became his influence and prestige that the President of the United S ta tes made him the ..spokesman in all political m atters where the Negro’s inters est was' involved. N e g i^ , politi:i- ans 0 f every school ’ of persua­sion were glad to eat rice ou t of his hand. Formally oschewing politics, he weilded more political power than any o ther Negro in our national history. H is sta tes­manship rested upon thr<e un- shakeable pillars-^ first, perfo r­mance of duty should go hand in hand with d'enian^ fo r civil and .^lolitical .rights, second,' educa- ti6n 9houl4. shape itsell "l6 actual tasks of life, _ ,and third, peace,, harmony and goodw ill'be­tween the races. His was the only race statesmanship which has comhianded any considerable- following of the three 'eleinents

A due need o f ,praise m ust be accorded th e hundced* .And thou­sands of upstanding, talented men and women of my day and generation, but it is no dispara^ gement to say that Tio single one of them gained the race-wide and in terracial fa n e and follow­ing as the wizard of Tuskegee. Many contributions have Keen made in various .fields o f endea­vor, b u t few if any have reach­ed the commanding eminence of leadership.

Perhaps the chief energies of my generation, were devoted to the field of education and yet there is no name in the pedago­gical world that takes rank be­side his name.

In moral and religious leader­ship, the race has been m arking time if not actually moving back­ward. ’There has not appeared in my generation a single minister o f the gospel p£ organizing gen­ius or spiritual power tp impiess the masses of the race. My gene­ration deserted the farm fo r the, city and tlow finds its- wisdom to be folly. In politics, the leader­ship is less virile and more ven.al than th a t of the generation which proceded it. Under its direction, the race had lost its political and civil rights, vouchsafed by Re­construction. I f recognition of these rights now seem to be re ­curring as the result o f North­ern migration, it m ust be said that th is movement is wholly un­willed by politicians a n J is a more incident of events. Fiom time to time, there have been laudable~^ttempts a t business en- terprise but, fo r the m ost part, those have come to g iie f. Notable am ong-these should be mention­ed W. W. Brown, organizer of the 'True Reformers, from whose ashes Phoenix-like sprung hund­reds o f o ther succeedingT enter prises anij Madame C. J . W alker

.whose business proect# still show* aigns of luster, life and vigor. The few , th a t have survived the late depression d o ^erv e tfee full­est support and encouragem ent of the race< tBut it m ust l>e noted that no industrial enterprise has begn organized employing larg* numbers of Negrroes; no big busi­ness has been developed; there there is no t a single business, corporate or individual, th a t is rateable among the p re a t estab­lishm ents'o f' the country j there Is probaWy not a* single ^ g r o 'millionaire amo ng twelve mil­lions of us in the U nited States. Negro leadership in business du­ring my generation m ust be pro- nounceda failure.

Two housing promotkins wet?i made recently jWhich are impor­tan t and significant. H i* f irs t was th a t of Roger W. Flood, who^ was named to the managership of the Harlem River Houses, the fo u r million dollar PWA project whiak has been tu rned over to the City of New York. Tlis se­cond was the naming of W ilbur F. Coleman as "sole m an afsr" of the Paul lt«urenc» Dunbar A partm gits, fee t h r o million dollar project developed*'by Mr.John D. Rockefeller, J r ., b tit re ­cently sold by him to another concern, l ^ e new owner* of the Dunbar Apartments a re satisfied with Mr. Coleman’s long ,tenure as bookkeeper, toookeeper-cashier and co-manager. A year ago Mr.Coleman and Mr. Flood were elevated to the job* o f co-mana­gers o f the Dunbar, a lte r both had served in subordinate posi­tions. Mr. Coleman ha* c h a i ^ of 511 families, and Mr. Flood rop* ervises. In hi* new post, 174 fa ­milies.

The Importaijt W d signifieant thing about the two appointm e^tf is the origin of the opportuni­ties. Ten years ago Mr. Eocke- feller, noting the deplorable housing conditions in Harlem, did an unusual thing—risked a large sum of money in the then doubtful field of improving hous­ing conditions fo r Negroes. I t was not then doubtful field of improving housing conditions fo r Negroes. I t was ndt then foreseen that a Roosevelt would some aJng and pour hundreds of mil­lions (into Rousing. But fo r Ne^ groes the Dunbar- w as a starting point, and its a ffa irs were fa ith ­fully, jyiininistered ^y Negroe* , ^ „ throughout M r . R M k e f e n e f t t t f a ! * * ownership, so th a t when the Fe­deral Government did take a hand in housing, a Duntoar man was selected to run the Fede­ral project, and ano ther Dun­bar-trained housing man was elevated to tTte^^xfaief--^a8nager- ship ,of the Dunbar itself, pioneer development in the housing field among N e^oes.

I t is g ra tify ing -to th e race in the East to see things work out this way, fo r i t is a logical, prac- ttical, and constructive proce­dure.

— I have held up a p ic tu re which must be regarded ra th e r as rea ­listic than gloomy. "Y e shall know the tru th and th e tru th shall make ^ u free” a t least from bigotry, conceit and shallow boasting.

A gainst this gloomy back- gro^jnd there projects one shiny eminence— the Negro Press which represent the chief contribution aside from Booker T. Washingr ton which my generation ha* made to th^^leadership o f tTie Ne- ^ 6 racS; ^ ~

And so we pass th is vast race estate on to the third generation. They m ust increase; we m ust de- crcrease. This will toe. the sub­ject o i my next release.
