...liberal," it would be that some White Americans seem to claim a monopoly of the definition of liberalism as applied to the Negro's situation. To an increasing number of young Negroes, this calm is no longer acceptable. Their rejection of it, however, does not necessarily imply a black racist position. But that it should appear to do so--and in some instances may in fact become racist--is, I think, an inevitable part of the confusion and difficulties that we must expect to accompany greater efforts by Negroes to alter their situation. The socio-political change that these efforts...
...Sanctions against South Africa's racist regime were proposed in an Afro-Asian resolution calling for a worldwide boycott on South African goods, a break in diplomatic relations, and possible expulsion from the U.N. if the Verwoerd regime does not mend its ways. The measure passed by 60 to 16, with 21 abstentions. The vote pointed to a double standard: South Africa's regime, reprehensible though it is, can hardly be considered worse than the Red Chinese tyranny, but 23 Afro-Asian delegates who voted sanctions against South Africa also voted to admit Red China...
...redneck, but the sentiments belong to James Jackson Kilpatrick, 41, editor of the Richmond, Va., News Leader and one of the most gifted and eloquent spokesmen for the Old South.

...boyhood ambition to achieve public office. In 1951, without bothering to serve a political apprenticeship, he plunged in as a candidate in the Democratic gubernatorial primary. He lost, tried and lost again in 1955, finally won in 1959. The secret of his success: as the most outspoken racist among all Mississippi's segregationist politicians, Barnett won the support of the state's powerful white Citizens' Councils. Most Mississippi politicians refer to Negroes as "niggras" in public speeches; Barnett unfailingly called them "niggers," drew cheers, chuckles -and votes-from rural audiences. In his inaugural speech he declared that...
...fact of the Blauvelt genealogical entry as an "expose." So, a bit later, did Birmingham's antiSemitic, anti-Negro circular, The Thunderbolt ("The White Man's Viewpoint"). So, in June, did The Winrod Letter, a oamphlet put out by the Rev. Gordon Winrod of Little Rock. Racist organizations in the South and crackpot groups everywhere photostated these pieces and sent them out as junk mail by the scores of thousands; it is estimated that at least 100,000 were received by mailbox holders in Massachusetts alone...
