“Civil Rights” and the Negro
by G. W . H a ll
(M r. H a ll, a veteran newspaperman, recently returned fro m a stay
in Florida. H is views, we th in k , give a side o f the p ictu re w hich is
rarely considered in the N o r th .)
H a vin g ju st returned fro m tw o years spent in the South and, due to
the co nte ntio n th a t is apparent between President T g u n u n and the
Southern Dem ocrats because o f the president's " c iv il rig h ts ” program ,
thought perhaps yo u r readers m ig h t he interested in w ha t a p e rfe c tly
good Yankee Republican saw and (¿\perienced w hile he was sojourning
in "th e land o f the ’ rebels.’
" C iv il rig h ts ,” according to o u r best judgm ent, is already enjoyed
by the N eg ro o f the South. H ow ever, " c iv il lib e rtie s " is e n tire ly d i f ­
ferent. T he N egro o f the N o rth has " c iv il lib e rtie s " in th a t he has
p ra ctica lly the same privileges as the "w h ite s .” In the N o rth the N egro
and the w h ite man attend the same church, the same theatre, th e ir
children attend the same school and so on— there is no segregation.
O n the co n tra ry, in the South the N egro has " c iv il rig h ts ,” in th a t
he votes as he pleases, seeks his ow n w ork and pleasure. B u t, in the
South the N egro is segregated. H is children do not attend the " w h ite ” 11
