A NEGRO’S VIEW
By Jesse Helms
WRAL-TV
Yesterday we pondered the
senseless, needless and frustra
ting croes-eurrent of misunder
standing that has been created
in America by too much of the
news media and too many of
the news makers. As a result
of it all, the Negro has been
unfairly symbolized, in the
minds of too many whites, by
the violent riots in the streets
—when, as a matter of fact,
sorely the vast majority of
Negroes in America view such
conduct with the same dis
gust as citizens of other races.
By the same token, because
of reckless and unfounded ex
pressions by politicians, agita
tors, commentators, and others,
the white man has been sym
bolized, in the minds of many
Nog roes, as a bigot, often as
violent racists determined to
heap oppression upon Negroes.
This is equally untrue and un
founded.
What is needed, a< we men
tioned yesterday, is for the
majority to he heard from —
the majority of Negroes who
yearns for a peaceful, orderly
society, and the majority of
whites who have no desire to
trespass on the rights of oth
ers, but who are growing in
creasingly resentful of the dis
ruption of society and the
growing demands that they
surrender their own liberties
tu placate demanding mobs.
Also, on yesterday, we shar
ed a portion of the contents of
an impressive statement by the
Negro editor of a ( hicago
newspaper who, we think, typ
ifies the attitude of many re
sponsible Negroes in America.
The statement by this editor,
Clarence Reynolds, of The
Chicago Free Press. deserves
careful consideration. Today we
would quote further from Mr.
Reynolds’ statement, which he
headed, "My < redo”:
“ Bet' er eduea? ion, this
Negro editor said, “doe-. not
mean bussing your innocmit
(children) into ‘white neigh
borhoods’ miles from (their)
home's and loved ones. Better
education means up-grading all
schools regardless of area and
regardless of whether they
are ‘all-negro’ or ‘integrated.’
Better ch on Is should mean the
'n ‘ • eachers regardless of eol-

County Board
not to air
its meetings
The County Board of Educa
tion reversed itself Tuesday
night and voted not to allow
Radio Station WKDK to tape
record its meetings for broad
cast.
The four-to-two vote revers
ed the •decision made in Janu
ary to allow the taping and
broadcasting at a time “con
venient to the Board and to
the station.”
Board member Billy Taylor
who made the motion favoring
broadcast in January. moved
Tuesday night to rescind the
action. Some hoard members
expressed reluctance to allow
full discussions of issues to he
broadcast.
Approval was given by the
hoard for a $.'50()() advance to
Newberry High school for the
purchase of hand uniforms.
The uniforms now worn by the
band have been in use for II
years.
The school now has on hand
$2000 for this purpose, ac
cording to Board Chairman J.
Ed Young. Band parents have
adued $2000 to the fund and
the additional $2000 will make
possible the purchase of the
uniforms which are expected
to he about $100 each.
A special meeting has been
called by the hoard to discuss
a subject of special interest to
all school patrons —desegrega
tion plans for the 1000-70
school year. The Board is now
operating under a plan ap
proved by the department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare. Approval by HEW was
based primarily on the second
phase of the plan, the opera
tions of schools for 1000-70,
which calls for complete inte
gration of all schools.
The meeting will he held on
March 10 and Mr. Young said
that members of the Citizens
Ereoilnm of Choice Committee
will he invited to participate
in tlm di'Citssion.
The Board adjourned its op
en meeting and discii'sed fur
ther matter^ in closed session.
