ACTION NEEDED
Last week we learned of another outrageous
abuse of the civil rights of Negroes in Detroit. A
croup of students decided to celebrate their gradu
ation by a trip on the Robin Boat. In the group was
one colored student wno was separated from her
\' hite companions and to reed off the boat b\ the
Hoblo management. Hit only offense was that she
was born colored instead of white.
This brazen act of racial discrimination follows
the pattern of provocation to which many Negroes
have had to submit and when they protest, they are
condemned as apitators. Fortunately, our citizens
have in the majority of these cases maintained their
composure and broupht their prievances to the au
thorities. This is the only way these abuses will be
corrected. To fipht back on the spot, which is the
first impulse of most Americans who are personally
assaulted, only creates more trouble and does noth
ing to stop such abuses.
Nevertheless, the authorities must act. This
business of tryinp to cover up and.smooth over basic
abuses of the civil riphts of any citizens is a fool
hardy effort. Justice must be done and when the
constituted authorities refuse to face the issue, they
weaken their authority and undermine the confi
dence of the peneral public.
The public places which deny Neproes service
and treat them with contempt can be broupht into
line. In the first place many of the larper establish
ments, notably the Cunningham Drug chain and the
Sanders Stores, operate successfully without dis
criminating against patrons on the basis of race.
We believe the civic riphts laws of the state ought to
apply to all public places. If owners of public en
terprises refuse to obey the law, they should have
their licenses revoked and put out of business.
The Inter-racial Committee and our public of
ficials are forever expressing their concern over
racial tensions in Detroit and mapping programs to
combat them. Here is an opportunity for these gas
bags to get up off their lazy brains and do some
thing constructive toward correcting the conditions
which cause tension. They can put the heat on the
public places which are violating the laws of Michi
gan by refusing to serve Negro citizens. The|
NAACP and the Prosecutors Office can furnish
them with enough complaints to start this program
now.
This practice of refusing to serve Negroes is
not very old in Michigan. Il started some 20 years
ago when the city began to expand and the refu
gees from Europe and the South poured into De
troit to man its new factories. Many of these refu
gees tried to Americanize themselves overnight by
imitating the worst elements in the population.
Ineffective civic and governmental leadership
in Detroit permitted the anti-democratic forces to
run wild. Now an atmosphere has developed in the
community which bears on some occasions more re-
Femblance to Germany than America. Today our
community and governmental leadership k n o w s
that it must challenge these anti-democratic forces
or submit to a condition of unrest and chaos.
There can he peace in Detroit and our majority'
groups can live together in harmony. To achieve
this our city fathers must make a stand against the
growth of racism, against the extension of the doc
trine of the Ku Klux Klan, against the sadistic,
bullies who kick other people around.
THE GAS-HOUSE GANG
One of the most disgusting exhibitions of native
American fascism held during these war years took
place last week in the U.S. Senate. While the Presi
dent and eminent national leaders were praising
the United Nations charter as a proclamation of
freedom and democracy for the whole world, a hand
ful of Southern Senators as raising the banner
of race hate here at home.
These Negro-hating, anti-Uatholic, Jew-baiting
Southern Senators unashamedly labored to con
vince their colleagues that God and the Constitu
tion were all wrong about the brotherhood of man.
Senator Theodore Bilbo, the chief chest-thumper,
yelled: “Some Catholics in this country are lined
with some rabbis trying to bring about racial equal
ity for the niggers.” Senator James 0. Eastland
smeared the graves of our war dead by declaring
that our soldiers are “an utter and abysmal failure.”
These Senators who were elected to office by a, 1
small clique of voters in their poll-tax states used
the Senate as a sounding board for a philosophy
which sounds like an echo of the ranting of Himmler
end Hitler. Fortunately for America, however, these
roaring reactionaries are winning applause from,
dwindling audiences. Many Southerners are
ashamed of them. Nevertheless, the damage these
Senators do cannot he dismissed.
If the liberal majority of Americans refuse to
accept the challenge implicit in the utterances of
these mountebanks and charlatans, they may find
a way to exploit the fears and prejudices of the peo
ple and win new power in this democracy. If they
were sleeping dogs, we might be wise to let them
lie. Unfortunately, they are not sleeping and they
will never sleep as long as they can believe that there
is an opportunity to twist our country into the
shape of a southern swastika, the fiery cross.
The fight these Senators put up against the
FEPC should he a warning to all Americans who
cherish the nation’s ideals. Victory over fascism
abroad and at home is still a long way off. This is
no time to rest from our labors against the forces
of evil. The Southern gas-house gang must be de
feated because in the long run they will wreck
America just as surely as the Axis gang against
which our hoys are fighting today.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT
It was reported in the nation’s press last week
that Colonel Benjamin 0. Davis Jr., the son of the
only Negro Brigadier General in the U.S. Army,
was appointed commander of the 477th Composite
Group. This group includes the airmen who refused
to sign an agreement indicating their acceptance
of Jim (’rowism at Freeman Field. These men re-
acknowledge tfie principle of “white su
premacyy” which is a Nazi principle and not a
democratic one.
Now we have been informed by Major General
Surles that three officers who allegedly were the
“ring-leaders” in the Freeman Field affair are going
to he court-martialed. The charges against them
were preferred by the notorious Colonel Robert R.
Solway, who has been replaced as commander by
( olonel Davis. We have been informed also that
( olonel Davis is a member of the group which will
hear the charges against these men.
We hope that the appointment of Colonel Davis
as commander and as a member of the court-mar
tial'will result in a fair and democratic deal for these
airmen. By fair and democratic we mean that the
double-standards to which these men have been sub
jected should be abolished, that none of these men
will be penalized for protesting against abuses.
for us, gold braid will never be able to camou
flage the dirty, arrogant practice of rank racial
segregation. We hate jim-crowism with all our
hearts. We hate it because it is fascist; it pits group
against group; it breeds suspicion and distrust; it
is the handmaiden of violence and the hall-mark
of the devil himself.
Racial segregation is a violation of our Consti
tution and a crime in a democracy.
Those who advocate racial segregation are ene
mies of America. This goes for colonels, generals
and presidents. The War Department knows it is
morally wrong in perpetuating this vicious system
and it has sought all manners of ruses to square this
segregated practice with a war for democracy and
freedom. It has failed and it will always fail.
If these new moves announced by the War De
partment result in the modification of the Jim-Crow
practices to which these airmen have been sub
jected, we shall he the first to hail them. If they re
sult in the further entrenchment of these practices,
we shall be the first to damn them. We believe in de
mocracy and we will have no truck with fascism,
native or foreign. We hope this is clear.

THE FACTS
IN OUR NEWS
By HORACE A. WHITE
Bllho I* Partly to Rlimr . . .
FF.PC Max killed brriunr the
force* In the United State* C'on
irfM that have been giving lip
aervlce to a fair employment
measure did not act for democ
racy. Bllho could have been
*topped in hi* bloody track* if
the Senate had voted for cloture.
Cloture I* a method for limiting
debate to one hour on a given
mea*ure. Cloture i* operative
after two-thirds of the Senate
vote In favor of limiting debate
to one hour.
The Senate did not vote for clo
ture Certain senators gave all
kind* of reason* why they did tioi
vote for cloture. No matter what
reason any partio lar senator gave
for no' voting for cloture, the peo
ple will understand that the lip
service given to FF .PC all along
was only lip vyittu-Tio real inten
tion of e\cr passing the measure
as ,i permanent bill or giving the
temporary committee the money
needed to continue its good work.
The Democratic and Republi
can Parties allowed Bilbo and
hi* ilk to kill FEPC. Both par
ties went up and down the land
pledging such support. Both par
ties said over and over again
that it wax the democratic thing
to do . . . pass a fair employ
ment measure.
In the face of these pledges to
the American people both Demo
cratic and Republican Parties al
lowed Sen. Bilbo to talk the
FF.PC Bill to death. Mr. Riloo
blew the parties’ pledges right out
the window for the parties with
out the parties leaders ever hav
ing to lift a little finger to go back
on their pledges to the American
people. Now everybody can damn
Bilbo for bilbloing FEPC to death.
The forces in the Congresa
should have been as concerned
about stopping Bilbo's fascism as
they were about stopping Hit
ler's fascism. In fact, there I*
not too much point to giving the
blood of our youth to stop fas
cism and Hitler except we de
velop the capacity to stop fas
cism at home in our own Con
gress. Let us all work to see
that too many people are not
misled by the over-playing of
Bilbo's rambling* in the newspa
pers. Os course. Bilbo is das
tardly. But the people in the
Congress were more dastardly to
allow Bilho to get away with
his ramblings to the extent that
he did. Bilbo was supported in
his dirty work because there
were not enough people In the
Congress who actually thought
differently from Bilho. If there
had been more people in the
Congres who thought differently
from Bilbo. Bilho could not have
possibly gone as far as he did
*o.
The war in Europe has made one
thing very clear and that is that
fascism cannot survive anywhere
without the people agreeing to
disregard their responsibility for
the well-being of the national life.
Fascism could not have arisen in
Germany if the people had shown
a will to fight fascism. Bilbo in
these United States cannot survive
a day longer than the people al
low him to survive.
Our Congress has been in
dicted hv the killing of the fair
employment measure. Our Con
gress will not feel the result of
its indictment if we are side
tracked Into using our energies
to damn cheap little Sen. Bilho.
Bllho does not have more power
than the Congress. Our Congres*
ha* rules to take rare of men
surh as Bilho who would ob
struct the Congres* from mak
ing a record of its thinking and
feelings no matter what those
feelings and thinking are on a
given issue.
Most of the American people
know that Congress was afraid to
set to record its attitude on fair
employment for all the people.
Congressmen were not afraid of
the peoples’ reaction to fair em
ployment. Congressmen know that
the people want fair employment
for all the people. Congressmen
do not want fair employment for
all the people. Rilbo prevented the
people from knowing how com
pletely their congressmen were
out of step with the wishes of the
people. The congressmen can go
back home and say that they
wanted to vote for FEPC but were
prevented from doing so because
of the Bilbo man.
The common people of Amer
ica must not he allowed to say
that nothing can he done. Sornc
■ thing ran he done. Something
1 must be done. When the hoys
in the front line of battle read
all the silly thing* that Bilho
ha* said the hoys in battle will
he very discouraged. In order to
soften the blow’ that Bilho has
dealt their moral we on the
home front must redouble our
effort* In behalf of democracy.
FF.PC must not die. The people
ran see that FF.PC Is on our law
hooks with enough money appro
priated to have the law work.
Negroes will feel frustrated over
the things that the man Bilbo has
uttered on the floor of Congress.
Negro leadership must not over
play Rilbo's savings in the think
ing of the masses of Negro people.
To over-play the sayings of Bilbo
will sidetrack the main objective
of the oppressed people of the
United State*. What the common
people want is fair employment
for all the people. Bilbo did not
prevent the bill from coming
to a vote in the Senate. The Sen
ate prevented the bill from com
ing to a vote. Bilbo was used as
the spade to do the dirty work A
constructive fight for FEPC is the
next order of the dav. Let us pro
ceed with Ihat next business
Some big industrialists, some
labor unions. American, fa-sclst
and other bigot* prevented
FEPC from becoming law. The*e
are the forres that have to he
overcome. Bllho I* only their
tool.

community activities They
try to give it everyday meaning
in terms of their everyday lives.
As Mrs. Crockett and I have
found, this is not always easy.
And. thinking that our experi
ences might mirror to some ex
tent similar experiences you have
encountered with your families. 1
invited her to collaborate in the
writing of this week's column on
PREJUDICE The result was that
she actually wrote the column!
Here it is.
Prejudice is rampant in our
own family! We were not shocked
over this discovery, but we are
disturbed greatly over the fart
that in our three children—ages 9.
fi and 4. the seeds of intolerance
already have been planted.
How? By the radio, movies,
cartoons, funny books, and the ill
considered expressions of adults
the way the innocent minds of in
fancy always have been and. we
suppose, always will be infected
with bigotry.
We doubt if there is one Negro
family who has not experienced a
sense of fear and a feeling of re
luctance in deliberately bringing
into this life a little Negro child
who must inevitably come face to
face with Mans inhumanity to
man'’ - ' And what is true of Ne
gro parents is. doubtlessly, true of
Jewish. Polish, Japanese-Ameri
can and other so-called minority
group parents as well.
Each of us expeers our child to
grow up intelligent, strong and
ambitious. And because of this,
we wonder to ourselves just how
much we can shield that child in
its early years and protect it un
til he op she has built up enough
armour against the racial, relig
ious and nationality intolerance it
is bound to encounter when it
reaches school age.
We suppose we shall always be
disturbed, too. over the early age
at which children become con
scious of our over-emphasized col
or and religious ‘differences" At
four years of age our oldest
daughter, while busily washing
her hands, was asking her father,
"Daddy, if I stay in the sun long
enough, will my hands get as
brown as yours’"
Our two school-age children
ha\e been attending Catholic
school, although, so far as we
know, all of their ancestors were
Protestants. After one year, both
children have expressed a desire
to be confirmed. This simple
rhoice on their part has compiled
us to re-examine our own relig
ious convictions. Do we have the
right to let them choose at their
tende r ages to make themselves
members of a double minority
first as Negroes, then as Catholics’
The answer they have received
may not he the approved answer,
hut WC think if a fair one We
have asked them to wait until
they are able to recognize the gen
eral distinctions between relig
ions and then they may make
their own choice We told them
that their paternal grandfather is
a Baptist minister and their ma
ternal grandfather was an Afri
can Episcopal minister. We ex
plained that their paternal grand
mother was a Presbyterian before
her marriage and we pointed out
that two of our closest friends and
their little twin girls are of the
Jewish faith. And. finally, we re
minded them that the young lady
who used to help wilh the fam
ily s housework was a Moslem
and the church they called ' the
Saturday church" wa« the Sev
e*i»h-n*r Adventist church We
probabl* abouid £uv« adaaA ihwi
TOO BIG
daddy grew up an AME, went to
a Baptist college, ultimately joined
the Methodist Episcopal church
and is now looking for a Unitari
an church!
But in spite of what we consid
ered very convincing arguments,
the Catholic Sister at the school
ultimately settled the question to
their childhood satisfaction! She
so wisely advised the older child
to ‘ wait until you get bigger " So
our daughter reports. * I guess I 11
wait until I’m bigger to become
a Catholic.” And her brother says
"Oteay with me. too ”
That has not ended the matter,
however, lor in fairness to all.
we think it owr duty to begin
now to te*ch them about the dif
ferent religions. We have begun
by having them study that most
interesting and fascinating little
book for children <and adults
nl*o>, ‘One God.” by Florence M
Fitch 's2 00 at UAW Bookstore in
Detroit >.
But back to 4 he subject of prej
udice m children. The present
war propaganda ha* caused our
children to do much talking about
the Japanese—whom thev insist,
until corrected, on calling by that
derogatory word, ''Japs” Then
conversation runs the gamut of
the newspaper horror pictures of
Japanese cruelty which somehow
has filtered through to the.r child
ish consciousness But to us their
worse fault has been their mimic
conception of how Japanese ap
pear to them n the comic strips
and movie shorts —and hence, how
real Japanese must look. They il
lustrate thu* by putting their
I thumbs in the corner* of their
mouths, stretching their mouths up
and out and exposing their teeth,
while their fingers push their lit
tle eyes up to create a slanting ef
fect. Then they announce w ith a
certain pride of accomplishment.
'Mother, that's how the Japs
look.”
Os course we ended this exhibi
tion promptly and effectively! We
probably were all the more severe
because we were thinking of those
illustrations of coal black, kinky
headed, big-eyed, puffy-lipped and
grinning men. women and chil
dren which our newspaper* and
funny books present each week to
thousands of white children and
adults in America as a true exam
ple of how their Negro fellow-cit
izens look.
But here again our corrective
methods did not end Fortunately,
we have several Japanese-Ameri
can friends. We invited them to
our home and made it a point to
have our children around. Our
children now have seen In our
home three Japanese-American
adult*. At first our son insisted
they must he Chinese. We ex
plained that thev were not Then
each child talked, laughed and
played with our guests to his and
her heart’s content.
At breakfast the following morn
ing. our *on said, "Daddy, those
people didn't look like Japane*r”
His sister, the older, added before
we could reply, "But they were,
'cause mother and daddy said they
were: didn't you. mother?”
Have we convinced them tha'
everything they hear or see must
not be taken at fare-value? (’an

we do not pass on to our young
