Support the "Families for Freedom" Campaign
TO beef up its treasury, the local branch of the
National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People has launched what is called its fifty-
second anniversary "Families for Freedom" cam-
paign.
It gives the family unit an opportunity to con-
tribute lo the continuing fight for first class citizen-
ship for all Americans. Families are being asked to
pledge themselves to save ten cents per day for the
period January 1 through February 11, and, on Feb-
ruary 1?. to add to this ten-Ccr.ts-a-day saving, one
more dollar to make a total of five dollars and twenty
cents.
This five dollars and twenty cents will be given
as a fifty-second anniversary gift to support the
NAACP's program in San Antonio.
San Antonio has a Negro population of 45,800,
with 12,000 households, according to last year's cen-
sus statistics, and 42 per cent of the families have in-
comes of $4,000 or more.
The NAACP campaign is unique in its family
unit participation approach. Five dollars and twenty
cents is not much to ask from a family—for first-
class citizenship rights.
As a single contribution, it is certainly not much.
But multiply that five dollars and twenty cents
v v covofoi hu"d"ed contributions, ~nd ths
loc:'.l NAACP will have a respectable fund with which
to fight for freedom. As we have pointed out before,
freedom costs money, too.
Five dollars and twenty cents is not much to pay
for it.
Support the "Families for Freedom" campaign.

For tha Associated Negro Press
AN EXPLANATION
THAT EXPLAINS
THE ieat of the current trou-
ble in Now Orleans is in
Ward 9, and we read in the
press that "Ward 9 is the bip-
Kest and poorest *eetion of the
city." This easily explains the ugli-
ness of the situation in the Queen
City of the Booth.
The situiujon is giving certain ele-
ments of the poor whites chance to
get certain things out of their systems,
things of long standing.
That race hatreds between
poor whites and underprivileged
Negroes are strong, is generally
conceded. And this hatred stems
from aknvery days, when poor
white overseers were in suthor-
ity; but there was nothing or no-
body that Negroes held In greater
contempt.
These poor whites called Negroes
"niggers." but whether Negroes said
so or not, they thought of pojr whites
as "poor white trash." Even in New
Orleans, today, while poor white wom-
en are hurling their "nigger" epithets,
there are Negroes thinking "poor
white trash" thoughta.
Thia ia not as it should be. for
Negroes should, by tha help of Ood,
be sbls to call those erring citisens
"brothers,** and eren pray as Jesus
prayed at tha cross "Fathar forgive
them for they kaow not what they
do.w
As n# the nraasnt tlm* Ds. Martin
Luther King has struck the conquer-
ing note, prejudice, with uou-violcncc
and brotherly love. Martin Luther
Kingism is but Christianity brought
up to date.
The white supremacy talk and
feeling are Hie last bastion of
pride for the poof whites, and
tliej cling tcnariiHisly to these;
for whrn these arc gone, all for
them is gone. The greater danger
tolay is that certain shrewd com-
a* i i tl and political interests
will exploit these bitter in terra •
cial hatreds for political nod
economic advantage, evea as such
interests in the Congo are exploit-
ing that tragic situation for po-
litical advantage.
The Africans and Africa aw not
as Imd as they are being made to
appear; and if we subtract from that
tragic aituat.on the studied efforts vi
certain interests to protract Belgian
rule in the Congo, we would not have
half no ugly a situation. Whst is
taking place in the l>mgo is the way
of colonialism and whal we are seo-
lng is but a small part of the picture.
It ia even so in New Orleans, if
we somehow could dissntangle the ul-
terior motives of denning man ami
interests, wo would hanother pic-
ture than tho one now currently dis-
gracing Now Ofleana and tfca
in tho ayes of the world. ,
Bit wo notd not ba t
ly alarmed over tho bHmvlors of
thai minority of women who ±ail-
from "the biggest and potestJ cfc «•
tian of the city."
We can hardly donbt that there
la some allergy between poor
whites sud Negroes, but It la n«4
as virions as those wftlto msb
bists would have us befiovs. \Vfcon
poor whites allergic to Negroea
come in too close contact with
Negroes who art themselves si
lergic to poor whites, we hsve a
tragic situation such as now pre-
vails In New Orleans.
Well may serious students of race
relations take fre*h courage, when
they observe that the trouble in New
Orleans steins from a minority group,
which inhabits the poorest section of
jthe city. IIow could it be otherwise
with certain undetermined and hid-
den interests manipulating the situa-
tion for economic and political ef-
fects.
Those feminine mobbivts are but
pawns upon somebody's chess-board
With a New Orleans on its hsnd, this
country presents our incoming Presi-
dent with a knotty problem snd this
column is hereby hoping that he will
lie equal to the tnsk, and we further
hope he will see that what is hap-
pening in New Orleans is hnjrpetiing
in the poorest section of that great
old city and should be a convincing
argument for full economic opportun-
ity for all of our citiaens.
If those poor whits women hnd
had full economic opportunity and
more of the good thingi of life,
things would lie different in New
Orleans, and our nation's vaunted
democracy would not be reproaeh-
ed by many nations af the earth.*"
The explanation tliat explains is
that the New Orleans disgrace snd
thut of a nstion stems from the poor-
est part of a great city, where certain
elements ba\e not had the opportunity
to live down the traditional enmity
that has long existed between poor
whites nnd poor Negroes.
