The momentuous African-Asian
conference?entering its final stages?saw
a resolution passed last
week condemning racial segregation,
particularly South Africa's
apartheid system. .

Meanwhile, Congressman Adam
Clayton PowelP. held the spotlight
-when he told a press conference
that "it is a mark of distinction to
hen Negro in the United States,"
Supported by Turkey, the Philip*
v pines, Pakistan, Iraq,'Iran, Lebanon,
Libya, the Sudan, as well as .
the only Negro republic in Africa,
the resolution was an open slap at
Communism.
J It was introduced to the political
committee which had appoint_
ed n subcommittee to attempt to '
reconcile various resolutions on colonialism
proposed by Red China,
' - Egypt, India and Indonesia, an^,
the nine-nations group, including
Liberia.'
Fears that the conference would
" turn into a Red picnic proved to
be groundless as several nations
hammered away at the communists.
Ceylon Premier Sir John?Kate*
lawala drew the wrath of both
China?Premier Cliou-Hu^Lai and .

he called upon China to disavow

.? When on May- 17, 1055 the Supreme
Court Unamiously outlawe<l
reeial segregation * in public
hchools, the 13th and 14th Amend
ments to the Constitution breahed
new life. Hope for children learning
together became a reality. It
meant that children will grow to
understand /and appreciate each
other and will realize that each
has a contribution to make to his
countl-y. Public education became
the concern of the national government.
This decision settled'the Constitutionality
of racial segregationsegregation
in public school. Public
schools. Public education mat
ters can no longer be decided by
prejudice.?Although reject-ion--ha:r
try; the fact remains that the law
has been placed on the - statue
books as a force toward first
class citizenship""
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational
Fund .attorneys must be
credited with this accompolishment,
in humanizing the public
education law. Directed by the eminent
Thurgood Marshall, their
work was successful. The recog-<
nizcdthat withthe "law, children
would be offered better educational
opportunities,.
Dut when the Supreme Cour;
but ovoT untiLtlre 11)511-1)55 term
the degrees to effectuate its decison,
Legal Defense knew the
fight was not won.
This waiting period, regarding
the rights of Negroes in America
seems to he the pattern existing
in the minds of many white Americans.
It has been the accepted
procedure for dealing with racial
bias. Vet, one realizes that
the psychological factors, in prejudice
ourst be changed through
education and laws.
When the May 17th opinion
was handed down, segregation in
public schoous was required by
law in 17 states and the District
of Columbia. This points to {in?
difficulties that would be Involved
in -erasing a pattern of prejudice
covering 40 per cent more than
2,530,000 public school children-in
the United States. -The judiciary
and the people must cooperate in
such an important situation. 'We
must understand that withoutlaw
opporunity cannot come; but
without people of good will, the
law cannot correct the evils or dis
crimination. I
The rhonths that have followed
the Supreme Court's May 17th
decision have indicated that the
laws and people are complementary
here has echoed from sections
of this country doctrines of
states' rghts. In many areas there
seems to have been an unreadiness
of the community mind t o
praetic& the brotherhood of man.
We are aware that the dual system
in public education is strong
ly entrenched in the lives of people
in some areas. We under
stand that mores and customs are
resihtive to change. We appreciate
the need for education in human
relations. But, one finds it
difficult to accept hostility engendered
in the minds of children.
Without Legal Defense in t h o
vanguard, this waiting period
could have been a frustrated perod
of trouble within our country.
Legal Defense attorneys beve-been
steadily working toward effecting
integration in local communities.
Vital in the establishment
of full citizenship for thte Negro
in America, Legal Defense attorneys
must have the support of all.
