Despite the heat, and showers,!
' an appreciative audience was
1 i present to see and- hear Mayor;
' i Green, whose address was both'
informative, and in-pirational. j
( It was REFORMATIVE be-:
| cau-e he gave an insight into
i the history of Mi und Bayou
, from its purchase as a mo-qui
| to-infasted swamp-larvi, bought
at a low price, to its present
i state of development into a town
of lovely homes, business places,
^ hospitals, ginning mills?because ?
-r1?rt?IS?n?rrrttm?black-belt town,
Q3 9
schools, and churches of vari-;
I ous denominations, , planned,
t built, and operated by Negroes.
' j His address was inspirational
,r" j-becau-e he did not paint the
,mi rowth of develoment of the town!
I as a rose-bed, without thorns. I
n~j M. rutiv 1 Bayou has_ reached its i
1,41 present -tatus through the hard
I work on the part of its people, i
| and through their determinati n
n i to make it a place of credit and
respect. ALL has not been ac2
Si complished;?there is still work
to Ik1 do no. and height- to reach
y._^LS./.a town- He did- not advocate
it.
j the idea that Negroes in Ameri'e'i
ca should try to solve their
a problems here, by segregating
?t+remsotvrs irrtn towns of Their
' own, but as citizens of the counat
ry, we should live, work, plan,
nan*', reason with ALL groups t?|
build a situation to the best of j j
