McDowell Acquited
Of Riot icons

Sam McDowell, the first person to go to
trial of the 39 arrested during last July's
hostilities, was acquited Wednesday of par=
ticipating in a riot.

Despite the testimony of three Albany
policemen that McDowell offered guns to a
crowd ofnearly 100, an all white jury found

the Brothers' June primary candidate ‘inno-~

cent.
In anunusual move Judge Martin Schenck
made a formal statement after the verdict
praising those who had tried todisperse the
crowd, referring apparently to the Bro-
thers.
_ McDowell told the Liberator that he had
been pleased with the conduct of the trial
as well as the. results. He said that Judge
Schenck “attempted to be impartial and ob-
jective," contrasting this with the Brothers’
experience with other Albany Leoecinge
The Brothers expres

‘tion, weighing the facts without letting ra-
cial views interfere with their decision.

Several of the Brothers had words ‘of
praise for Mr. George Harder, McDowell's
lawyer. He not only contributed hard work
and spent a lot of time in preparing the de-
fense, McDowell said, but Mr. Harder was
able effectively to counter the tactics of the
assistant district attorney.

McDowell specifically mentionned the
attempt of the prosecution to get him to
plead guilty toa reduced charge and the at-
tempt in the middle of the trial to change
the chargeto unlawful assembly. McDowell
refused to compromise, saying all along
that he was innocent.

[ Notice

The nextissue of The Liberator will ap
pear on Friday, January 12. Deadline for
notices will be 5 pm Tuesday,

McDowell also accused the Albany Dem-
ocratic Machine of trying to intimidate and
silence him, and thereby attack the Bro-
thers. He said that this attempt was futile
as evidenced by the fact that several of the
Brothers came to testify in his behalf.
Five Brothers testified that McDowell had
tried to disperse the crowd and prevent
violence,

In addition to the testimony of the Bro-
thers, several persons volunteered to tes-
tify as character witnesses for McDowell.
The Rev. William M. Cameron of the First
Reformed Church in Albany testified that
McDowell had a "good reputation"' as an
"industrious person" in the community.

Free o takave ‘Frees Donated”
To Operation Christmas Basket

Free Christmas turkeys were guarante—
ed to 100 families and the Brothers an-
nounced Wednesday that they will probably
have turkeys for an additional 50--all part
of their Operation Christmas Basket. The
turkeys are being distributed Friday and
Saturday, December 22 and 23.

With at least 11 persons telephoning for
donations, the cooperation of several area
supermarkets and a contribution of 64 tur-
keys by the Faculty-Student Association of
the State University at Albany, the Brothers
were able to promise turkeys to the first
100 families that signed up.

Peter Jones indicated that the Brothers
hoped last minute contributions would en-
able them to satisfy every family that re-
quested a turkey, Jones termed the entire
operation "a tremendous success,"

At least 50 families were also able to

forego the expense of purchasing a Christ-
mas tree, as Operation Christmas Basket:

gave away that many trees last week-end.
The trees were donated by the owner of a

-Christmas tree nursury, Mr. Owen France

of Feura Bush,

Many area residents responded gener-

ously to the Brothers' call for conteeaeoue
to the program. Some individuals gave as —
many as five turkeys to the program, but —
the largest contribution came from the Fac- _
ulty - Student Association. Several super- —
markets offered the Brothers reductions ae
and the Albany Public Markets contributed eer
several turkeys. >

Jones also praised area radio stations —
for making announcements about Operation _
Christmas Basket and for contributing to
the turkey fund. The Brothers especially

want to thank the following women for vol- =

unteering their time and assistance: Sherry _
and Melanie Long, Dorothy Bellick, Tanya —
Hollander, Mary Leue, Peggy Cunningham, _
Judith Glenn, B. J. Mayersohn, Vera Mick- _

_elson, Lulu Garrett and Dinae Gregory.

(Late word indicated that Operation —
Christmas Basket would distribute over 200
Christmas turkeys. The Brothers went on
the radio to thank the many people who
helped make this program a success.) . __

Same Problems - Jobs, Housing - Unsolved

Despite the encouraging acquital of Sam

‘McDowell and the equally encouraging re-

sponce to the Brothers' Operation Christ-
mas Basket, there has been little or no in-
dication that conditions that set off summer
1967 will not be around to set off summer
1968. ;

Yes, there will be more dances and
more recreation programs -- but there will
also be unemployment, rats, roaches and

fires. Also the same policemen who wanted

to find Mr. McDowell guilty for instigating
events last summer will be looking for the
slightest cause to haul in people this sum-
mer,

Because the ghetto residents have suff-
ered the greatest losses in the so-called
riots, we must hope that the situations
which developed in Newark, Detriot and Al-
bany will not be repeated. But thus far all
we have is hope.

It is in the areas of employment and
housing that we feel the city administration
and the Albany business community have the
most progress to make.

We are looking carefully at the "job
fair'’ which is scheduled for this Spring by
the mayor andthe heads ofsome of the loc-
al service agencies. In order to make the

_ jab fair a success, business and corpor~
ation employment personnel will have to.
_ change the methods they have used in the

al ent the é area. Mir. an
ke argues that employers will have to put

aside many of their usual job requirements,
such as a high school diploma and pre-em-
ployment tests.

Employers will have to prove that they

are offering serious opportunities with a

fair chance of promotion and agreeable
working conditions. ~

The usual "deficiencies" such as second -
rate education, an arrest record and a poor
work record are not the true testof a man's
worth, Mr. Van Dyke states. Very few men
have been able to survive in the ghetto with-
out these "deficiencies",

There is still an urgentneed for decent,
low income housing in Albany. The city is
tearing down firetraps and burned out build-
ings. Yet the number of such buildings that
should be destroyed grows as fast as the
demolitions.

While some housing renovation is being
done in the Arbor Hill area, it is available
and beneficial mostly to home owners. The
majority of Arbor Hill - South End resid-
ents, however, are renters and the number
of clean, reasonable apartments is small
and diminishing.

A factor which is partially responsible
for the deterioration of buildings is a gen-

eral unwillingness of landlords to reim-
burse tenants for repairs and improve-
ments.

Some landlords are willing to provide
paint and brushes if the tenant does his own
work. However, the repair of wiring,

plumbing and heating facilities should be

done by professionals.

Mr. Van Dyke points out that the best
thing that can be done for the teenagers, is
to'do something for their parents and older
brothers and sisters.

sie the landlord starts showing an interest —
in nis property: the teenager may nolonger >

feel ashamed to bring his friends inside.

If Dad or an older brother gets into a
‘good employment situation,

the younger
brother might see some reason to stay in
school and get interested in a career ora
profession for himself. If the older brother
can't find work, frustration and anger will

‘be built up and shared with others and will

eventually explode.

On Ali’s Visit

When Muhammad Ali visited Albany
Tuesday, the local press and "sports" re-
porters came out the losers. Some of them
felt it was more important to try to put Ali

-down than conduct an intelligent interview
_ As a result those who only read about Ali's

visit or saw portions ofthe press interview
on tv,. missed seeing the real man.

The measure of Muhammad Ali can be
better judged by the respect paid to him by
other black atheltes. Those athletes who
are threatening to boycott the Olympics are
demanding among other things that the
heavyweight crown be returned tothe unde-
feated Ali.

Among black people Ali is a true hero --
even among those who do not follow his re-
ligion. He stood like a man in the ring and
he has stood like a managainst the US gov-
ernment and two-bit television sports re-
porters. He is a true champion.

Negro History

In the 1830's the black man in the North
saw education as the way to raise his econ-
omic position and tear down the wall of dis-
crimination. By producing his own leaders
in the arts, sciences andother fields of ed-
ucation, he could gain acceptance and re-
spect in the white society.

In 1831 a young white Quaker schoolmis-
tress, Prudence Crandall, decided to admit

one black girl to her popular boarding
school for girls in Canterbury, Conneticut.
The white people of the town became very
angry about this. They did not truly want
black people to become educated. They
wanted to keep the black people down -- do-
ing the dirty work and the house cleaning.

So the white parents who had children in
Miss Crandall's school took their children
out of the school. Miss Crandall refused to
give up and decided to set up a school for
blacks only.

But the town's people were so much a-
gainst letting black children get an educa-
tion that they worked against the school.
The local merchants would not sell them
school supplies. The local doctor would not
treat the children when sick. Miss Crandall
was insulted in the streets.

by Sam McDowell

Finally the school building itself was
stoned and then burned by the white popula-
tion. Miss Crandall was put in jail until she
decided to give up her school and leave the
state of Conneticut.

This was not the only instance where
things like this occurred. In Ohio black — Z
schools were wrecked and the teachers in- ae
sulted and beaten. In New Haven, Conneti-
cut an anti-slavery leader tried to set up a
training college for black students, but the
entire white population voted against the
college at a town meeting. ee

In the 1960's the black people are still

cede): ENS

told that education is the way that they must | ie

help themselves. But when you try to get y
the real story of the black people in Amer- =
ica taught in the public schools, they are a-
gainst you. When you try to teach the real
story of black people outside the public —
schools, they accuse you of esti "white
hatred."

The black people want to have their
children educated -- but they also want to
know thattheir children arelearning some- _—
thing of their own heritage. They want their _
children to be proud of being black.

The brown building at 206 N. Pearl St.
is known as School No. 5. But it is no long-
er only a regular school. Since September
School No. 5 has been the home of Albany's
Project Head Start.
~ From 9:00 to 3:20 five days a week 45
four-year-olds from Arbor Hill and the
South End play and learn together under the
watchful eyes of a trained staff. The pur-
pose of Head Start is to give children need-
ed preparation before entering kindergarten
next fall. Reading, self-expression, physi-
cal development and coordination are some
of the specific aims of the program.

helps a child learn to work, play and talk
with other people. Physical development

and coordination come with outdoor recrea-_

tion, and indoors -- moving in time to mus-
ic or acting out stories.

Since there is one adult for every five
children, and there are only 15 in each
class, each child receives much individual
attention. Quiet children get as much atten-
tion as noisy ones. No one is left out.

Brooks, SNCC Worker
Arrested On Draft Charge

From The Southern Patriot

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Fred Brooks, a
militant SNCC member, has been arrested
for refusing to be inducted into the army.

| His draft call came as he was waiting to

_ testify before Senator McClellan's hearing

- a Einto ghetto outbreaks. McClellan obligingly

_ postponed the hearing so Brooks could make
_ his appointment with his draft board.
Brooks, 20, headed the controversial

Nashville Liberation School, which was
briefly funded by the Office of Economic
Opportunity last summer. The Senate in-
vestigators wanted to question him about
_ charges that the school was teaching hatred
of whites, as well as about the April out-
breaks in Nashville's ghetto.

Brooks's induction was speeded up after
he was expelled from Tennessee A&I for
movement activity. A federal court refused
to delay his induction until a judge could
rule on the expulsion, and on charges that
his draft board is illegal because there are
no Negroes on it.

If convicted, Brooks says, he will spend
his time organizing the black inmates of the
prison. "You can organize in jail just as

_ Well as you can out," he says. "They'll be
getting out some day."

Women’s Group
Begins On
Catherine St.

Through the efforts of the Adult Planning
Committee of the Y.W.C.A., the Albany
Methodist Society began a new program for
women who live in the South End. Our first
program, which was held Monday, Decem-

_ ber 11, 1967 at 38 Catherine Street, center-

ed. around the subject of buying for Christ-
mas.

This discussion was led by Mr. Garrett
Murphy of the division of Adult Education of
the Albany Board of Education. The topic
was chosen with the idea that it would be
the first of a series of presentations on
consumer education, as well as with the
idea of starting along lasting Mothers' dis-
cussion group.

We were pleased with the turn-out of
eight mothers from the Catherine Street
area. The group showed interest in both
having regular meetings and the subject of
consumer education.

Fire insurance was of major interest to
all the women there. Therefore, our next
meeting may very well center around the
topic of buying insurance.

The next meeting is planned for January
15, 1968 from one until three P.M. Baby-
sitting is provided, and we are encouraging
all interested people to come to the next
meeting.. The Adult Committee of the Y. W.
C.A. was represented by Mrs. Paula Rol-

lins, Mrs, Sache Gendon.: bases Mas

Bombings, Fires,

Hit Negro Community
veg The West Side Torch

Brownsville, Tenn. -The homes of Il Ne-
gro families in Haywood County have been
set afire since August 4. These are in add-
ition to four house burnings in the spring,
the burning of a church in July, and the
bombing of 13 Negro homes in 1966.

The latest wave of fire followed a U.S.
District Court order to place 10 Negro
teachers in five previously white schools -
and 10 white teachers in four schools at-
tended by black children.

The decision by Judge Bailey Brown of
Memphis made no provision for increasing

the number of black children in mostly
white schools, or vice versa. Interracial
attendance is now about 2 per cent.

Mrs. Virgie Hortenstine, coordinator of
the Fayette - Haywood Workcamps, said:
"Some of the fires were set to the property .
of Negroes who were active in civil rights
or who served as witnesses in court for the
school cases. Some were old people and
people handicapped by illness." |

She reported that the home of Dan Nixon ~
which is west of Brownsville, has been set
afire twice. Nixon is one of the two Negro
magistrates in the county, the first to be e-
lected in this century.

Haywood and neighboring Fayette County |
have been the scene of a long struggle for
human rights. In the early 60's hundreds of

Negro families have driven off the land be- __

cause they registered and voted. Massive

‘support form throughout the nation helped

them in that crisis. Mrs. Hortenstine said -

Louisville Adopts Open-Housing La

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --The city's Board of
Aldermen has adopted a strong open-hous-
ing law as a result of demonstrations in
which hundreds were arrested last spring.

Another result of the fight for open hous-
ing was the election of a new board of al-
dermen on Nov. 7. Eleven Democrats were
elected to replace Republicans. The only

. Republican returned to the board was Mrs.

Louise Reynolds, a Negro.

The new board voted 9 to 3 for a law
providing $100 fines for refusing to sell or
rent a house or an apartment to a person
because of race, religion, or national ori-
gin.

The only exceptions are apartment
houses with four or fewer apartments ifthe

owner or a member of his family lives on

Mayor Kenneth Schmied, a Republic-~
said he would neither sign nor veto the,
so it goes into effect automatically. The
mayor's office was not at stake in the elec-
tion, so Republicans were able to keep con-
trol there.

They lost ll aldermanic seats because
civil-rights groups worked hard for their
defeat. The same thing happened to the
Democrats in 1961 after they refused to pass
a law barring discrimination in public ac-
commodations. The Republicans passed |
such a law but refused to vote open housing
in 1967. :

The resulting marches and protests re- .
sulted in the arrest of hundreds of demon-
strators. More than half of these were
white. Officers and staff of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC),
the Southern Conference Educational Fund
(SCEF), and the West End Community Coun-
cil (WECC), were jailed for contempt for
leading marches in violation of 2 court or-
der.

SCLC has a local affiliate, the
Christian Leadership Conference. SCEF is
a Southwide interracial group working to
end racial discrimination and poverty. Its
headquarters are in Louisville.
