Hatred Pervades Negro Attitude in Crises
An Associated Press series piece explores how American Negroes view white society amid a year of racial tension. It cites NAACP figures, community leaders, and incidents from Charleston, Savannah, Columbia, and Charlotte as it traces a growing sense of hate, pride, and the push for equal rights. The piece quotes Hosea Williams and Dr. Reginald Hawkins among others, noting a divide between ceremonial leaders and masses and predicting drawn out struggle and negotiation.
