A nrtl 90 10.90 C oaiuiua*, npiu THE BEGINNING * ? i The legislature of North Caro- 1 lina is trying to pacify its Negro e citizens by doing something for v Negro students who would like to f enter the. University of North Car s olina. , ^ There have been applications s Prom Negro students asking for v admittance t0 ,the professional \ school of the University because there are none provided in the Ne * gro colleges. To meet this require- ^ ment the North Carolina legisla 1 ture adopted the following meas- ' uj-e: "The board of trustees of the * North Carolina College, for Ne- 1 groes is authorized and empower- c ed to establish . departments of c law, pharmacy and library science 1 at the above named institution, e whenever there are applicants de- P sirous of such courses. The said v board of trustees of the North r Carolina College for Negroes mayjt add other professional courses'e from trme to time as the need of (' the same is shown and as t h e F fund* of the state will justify."' The Palmetto Leader does not ' ( have all of the facts causing the 1 general assembly of North Carolina to consider the Negro ques- 1 nun as it nas, DUt we are willing v "to wager a dollar tn a penny that--t it was due largely to the united influence-of-the leaders- of the Ne~- f gro race in that state. N We have a similar problem in ? South Carolina. The South Caro- c Inia General Assembly has lafrn the proportion on the table and our Negro leaders are "down be- ^ hind the lot" fighting each other * over the few little jobs we have J already created for Negroes . by ' Negroes. " ' % S UNCLE SAM SHOULD HEGIN AT HOIVfE r "We should see the beam in our own eyes before we try to take . the mote out of our brother's! ^ dye." This statement is more of]' truth than fiction. The United ' States is telling European govern * ments, headed by Hitler and Mus-1 solini. hqw to trnnt -the minmity | ?Hioupa ovei llune, but" glvnigHt-"^"* tie attention to the lynching, unjust discriminations' and unequal v opport?nitir,i fnr tha Netn o t iti * zens in its own confines. This'? tact was emphasized last week by I>r. Julian Miller, editor of the 1 CharrTotte Observer. GlvF attention ' to his plea: j" Dr. Julian Miller, editor of the v Charlotte Observer, said that ex-i' citement over the suffering of ra-[1 cial minorities in Europe was * "hardly consistent with our atti-1' tude toward our own minority? \ the Negro." Miller spoke at a meeting o f ' the North Carolina commission 1 for inter-racial cooperation, tinder * the chairmanship of Bishop "Edwin ! , A. Penick of Raleigh. ' "America is frightfully ignor- ' ant of the Negro and his prob- t lems, tragically so in the South,' t said Miller. He termed the rule > of Negroes by the whites in the _ South as a "dictatorship" and said that "we have a racial minority of our own, with problems akin__ _ to those abiuad. It is a~~mTnority ' whose presence is a challenge." The speaker cited the achieve- a ments of(. the Negro race, whrch > he said started from nothing three c ^darters of a century ago, and m now has: J. .V..k. - - V- ' A million farms, with 40,000,- * 10 acres; 70,000, business enter- 1 ises; $75,000,000 an banking bus 3 .esses; $2,500,000,000 in wealth; 1 !,000 churches with 5,000,000 } embers; <,000 doctors; 5,000j< arses, 2,000 dentists, 1,000 law- i ;rs, 6,000 actors and 48*000 tea- 1 iers. The race, he added, is taking an ;tive part in municipal life with egfto police in 89 cities, memers in ^congress, and nVaniy Neroes employed in expert capacity y the federal government. There are many olther white icn in the South who think the anie thoughts, and speak t hi. ime language as does Dr. Julian liller. Uncle Sam would be a better aacher of European nations if e would give the minority group i the United States the same oportunity and protection as are iven all other American citizens.
