too important to let go by with
out proper commemoration,’
Diggs wrote.

Post Story On Birmingham,
Editorial On Integration
Peaceful integration was
strongly supported this week in
a Saturday Evening Post edi
torial which said “the promise
of American democracy will ne
ver be fulfilled so long as any
citizen is deprived of his rights
because of his race or religion.”
In the same issue, The Post
devoted nine pages to the criti
cal integration problems of Bir
mingham, Alabama which Is des
cribed as “a city of fear.”
The sharply worded editorial
said The Post has been "accused
with considerable vehemence of
being pro-Negro. Of course we
are pro-Negro. We are also pro
white, pro-Jew, pro-Cafholic and
pro-Protestant."
“Private relationships are mat
ters of conscience, but every
American is entitled to full en
joyment of the benefits of citi
zenship," The Post said.
In addition to the moral neces
sity for ending segregation, the
Post said it would “favor it for
another reason that Is every bit
as compelling. We are a nation
of laws and it Is the law." Some
Southern governors may believe
they can interpose the staite’a au
thority, but the Post maintained
that the supreme law is Federal
law.
