In Time Of Need Negroes Have No Leader
By LYLK C. WILSON'
I iiitcd Press International
It is tlie misfortune of Negroes
that in this moment of greatest
need lor self discipline that they
have no acknowledged leader.
Thousands 0 Negroes arc en
rolled as privates in the mass
armies involved in demonstra
tions, sit-ins and, occasionally
street violence. The number of
brigade commanders accredited to
and variously directing these ma
neuvers is beyond number.
What the Negroes lack is a
five-star generalissimo. The Ne
groes need a leader who can
arouse their armies or send the
armies home and off the streets
and' away from the jails.
Most especially, the Negroes
now urgently need leadership
which can persuade them against
mass demonstrations in the capi
tal of the United States while
Congress is debating tlie Kennedy
civil rights bill. One of the Negro
brigade commanders is the R
Ueorge Lawrence of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,
Some days ago the Rev. Lawrence
promised that Washington, D.C
would be the focus of a massive,
militant and monumental sit-in
this summer unless Congress act
ed fast to assure full equal rights
for tlie Negro now.
More Racial Bitterness
He said any Southern filibuster
against civil rights legislation
would touch off massive acts of
civil disobedience all over tlie
United Stales. What the Rev.
Lawrence will touch off if he car
ries out his program is pretty
sure to be more racial bitterness,
more violence and much less sym
pathy among Americans for the
(lending civil rights legislation.
The Southern Christian Leader
ship-Conference is one of many
more or less militant Negro or
ganizations, any one of which
probably could match the Hev.
Lawrence ill mass demonstra
tions. There appears to be no Ne
gro or group of Negroes, how
ever, competent to control the
civil rights demonstrators by di
recting tlieir activities Into chan
nels more likely to help than to
harm tlieir cause.
The leadership situation, in
fact, is worse than that. It is not
merely that there is no acknowl
edged Negro leadership, but that
the various brigade commanders
are competing with each other for
prestige and privileges and, per
haps, for money.
Roy Wilkins is executive secre
tary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People. NAACP long was the
muscle and brains of the Negro
effort for civil rights. In a speech
last week in Alexandria, Va., Wil
kins complained that other Negro
organizations provided tile noise
and got the publicity while
NAACP provided the manpower
and paid the bills.
Considerable Money Availubte
Wilkins named some Negro
mass demonstration outfits and
said "Don't go giving them your
money when it should be given to
us." Thero is considerable money

from Jackson, Miss., spoke in
Washington last week. It was esti
mated that the audience of 600

money.
There is evidence that some Ne
gro leaders now feel compelled to
participate in or to inspire mass
violence to compete with others
who promote street disorders. The
idea seems to be that the street
riot leader will get more follow
ers than tlie pacifist. How much
violence will there be and what
will it do to the cause of civil
rights are two unanswered ques
tions. James M. Nabrit Jr. is
