K, IMS • SI (The Marqh on Washington moved many Amster­ dam News readers who were not reporters to try their hand at reporting or to become poets. The Amsterdam News cannot publish all such efforts but we are doing our best for we were as thrilled ® over the March as our readers. Here is a reportori- al effort of Mrs. Gertrude Aiken of 125 West 228th Street, The Bronx.) By GERTRUDE AIKEN Very early on the morning of August 28, I saw my husband and niece entrain for the Freedom March to Washington. Naturally, I was apprehensive. But I re­ membered certain words of comfort—“Fear not, for I am with thee. ’ As the day wore on, I decided to put my thoughts on paper, and these are the words that came. From the weary fielt 4, of Mississippi to the mink-clad stars of Hollyw< . hey came. The skies were clear, the sun was bright, and everyone with whom they came in contact was friendly. God smiled on them. The goal toward which they had yearned and worked and suffered and prayed, was an almost tan­ gible thing. In their hearts, surely, and almost physic­ ally in their hands. For a little while they could forget — the broken bonei, Ute thankless, agonizing hours of gruelling labor, the scars of lash­ es, the indignity of being housed, fed, sold and bred like stiimals; the open hostility, the Insults, the degradation, the veiled animos­ ity. For a little while — a few hours at the most — they could forget. Every face wore a smile, every heart had a song, because for a little while Freedom was theirs — a living, shining, spar­ kling jewel to be held lovingly In their hands. Because some of them had rid­ den. .unhounded, for the first time like "other people." There waa no back seat, no side of the road. There need be no hesitance, no kow-towing deference. For to­ day everyone was the same—all were equal with a common goal in view. And they still came — from the North, from the South, from the East, from the West. The March was on. Why did they march? There was no angry, belligerent attitude. hear, the world would understand What matter that there were dis­ senting yoices? For what could they who spoke know of dignity and brotherhood? They wanted, above all, digni­ ty and self-respect. They wanted a future for their children — bright - eyed and eager, unaware of the turmoil and frustration of their elders. They wanted in the present, here and now, the equal­ ity, the opportunity, the liberty >yhich is the right of every man. Wjo w^ld know the hopeless In, tllity of living black ?

Go ahead with our blessing, and fulfill our dreams and yours." "What so proudly we hail.” This was their country — they were the first to die for it; they helped build U. yoked like oxen; they fought for it ag*i> again.

Still Seek Peaceful Solution Between Somalis, and Kenya By ELIZABETH BARKER As the countries of Africa move first to independence and then towards African unity, dif­ ficult local problems* are bound to crop up in the vast process of change and growth. One of these is the problem of the peo­ ple of Somali race who live in Northeast Kenya, in part of the Northern Frontier District. The recently - concluded Bri­ tish - Somali talks In Rome, wi t h Kenya ministers taking part, failed to clear up the prob­ lem. but they pointed towards a peaceful and constructive me­ thod of tackling it. In this way they achieved something valuable for all part­ ies — above all. for the people most directly concerned, the So­ malis of the Northern Frontier district, whh would suffer most from a conflict between the neighboring Somali Republic and Kenya. The problem is a complicated one, but by no mean; unique. The frontier drawn in Africa, in the Colonial era which is now passing, often had little relation with racial or even tribal group­ ings. There was no machinery for consulting the wishes of all the people concerned. When It's Dangerous It would therefore be absurd to suppose that all the frontiers are the best possible. On the other hand, in a period of very rapid development, it is difficult, and can be dangerous, to change them. There is in particular the dan­ ger of conflict between young, newly-lndependent states, which could harm their internal growth and hamper progress towards to state its views on the prob- lem ba for a Kenya’s indepen- wider African unity. The problem of the Somalia dence. of Northeast Kenya contains this They aimed, however, at some- threat.

What more proof of the brotherhood of man? And the leaders spoke — ex­ plained to those who did not un­ derstand. and taught those who did not know. It was all so won­ derful, so uplifting. Who could deny or castigate? Here was bro­ therhood, here was peace. Here was what they canoe lor. "Mine eyes have seen the glory." And now the marchers turned toward home. Nothing would be the same anymore. They were going home — not “back" home, not "down" home —but home. There was so much to be done, so much to learn, so very much to give. This was worth any sacrifice. They had learned the meaning of Freedom. Freedom is humanity; freedom Is walking beside some­ one — not ahead, not behind. Freedom is patriotism; freedom is justice; freedom is life. And still they sang. "We Shall Overcome.” For as It Is written "He that overcometh shall inherit all things.’® The March was over.
