‘Few Standards’
He told the teachers that many
educators have not been convinc

and can be educated.
"There are few standards in
this country worth a man’s res
pect. If I were a teacher I would
suggest to the black child that as
popular culture, TV, comics and
the movies go, they are fantasies,
created by very ill people and
that he must be aware that these
fantasies have nothing to do with
realism."
Harsh, arrogant and alternate
ly bitter and defiant, Baldwin un
leashed a verbal broadside
against those who are responsible
for helping the Negro child create
a false image of himself — that
of inferiority.

"You liberated him from laugh

Baldwin told the educators that
if they added Negro history to the
city curriculum, it would not only
liberate the Negro child but the
white child too.
"If you pretend that I hauled

Exposes
Pupils To
Heritage
many contributions to
and the American way
Sessions are not merely for 1
ers to come and ait, they
called upon to go back and pass
what they learned on to
pupils," she said.
By SARA SLACK
Despite the odds, petite
and pretty Mrs. Elinor Sin
nette, chief librarian in two
Harlem school districts, is
doing a man-sized job in
exposing Negro pupils to
their people’s contributions
to America’s growth —
through the medium of
books.
A veteran educator, it is her
opinion that she could do a great
deal more in teaching the Negro
child his heritage if she were
given more leeway by the Board
of Education.
Among Mrs. Sinette’s duties
are reviewing and putting her
stamp of approval on books sub
mitted to the Board each month
by book publishers.
Once each year the Board Is
sues an official book list to which
supplements are added periodic
ally, as new books are published
Dissatisfied
Asked if she is satisfied with
the quality and extent Negro
history is covered in books which
pass her desk, her answer was
bullet prompt:
'No. I am not a bit satisfied
with materials about the Negro’s
history and culture available in
books — far from It! I’m not
pleased at all.
“I’m especially displeased In
the light of all the extra money
the Board of Education has re
ceived to be used for all types of
integration. We have quite a few
excellent books about Negroes
but * not nearly enough to meet
our demand.”
In addition to supervising act
ivities of ten school librarians
Mrs. Sinnette is responsible for
setting up elementary school li
braries, planning and executing
library lessons for pupils and the
administration of all library me
chanics for the 33,000 pupils In
the 24 schools in her districts.
Mother Wit
Possessing the remarkable in
stinct of a mother and knowing
what every woman knows—make
way—with the aid of other
school officials; she devised
sure method of passing on Negro
history lessons to pupils, not in
cluded in approved books.
She said the course, comprising
fifteen sessions, has registesed
140 teachers, some coming from
as far away as Queens to attend
sessions at Harlem’s PS 180c>
Research Project . ‘
"We have teachers In the course
from kindergarten through high
school taking our course. They
are required to read specific as
signments, draw up lesson plans
on the course and participate, in
research projects," Mrs. Sinnette
said.
Among those who have lectured
at sessions or are scheduled
d for
future classes are, John Henrjck
Clarke, “Freedomways" associ
ate editor; James Baldwin, au
thor; Jeanne Robinson, JHS 13
teacher; Attorney Constance Ba
ker Motley, NAACP Legal De
fense Fund associate counsel; El
ton Fax, teacher-artist; Mrs. Ed
wins C. Johnson, teacher; Vernal
Pemberton, Dr. Kenneth Clark,
CCNY professor and Sylvester
Leaks, author.
An astute scholar, Mrs. Sin
nette is a product of Bronx
schools. With extensive experi
ence as a teacher and librarian,
to her credits she won her Bach
elor’s degree in library science
from Hunter College and ker
Master’s from Pratt Institute.
Explorers
The comely educator is mother
of two girls, Caleen, 13, and Dar-
ryle 9, Married to Dr. Calvin
Sinnette of Corona, Long Island,
she and her girls have followed
him across the world.
A travel enthusiast, she refers
to her family and herself as
gypsies". They lived In Africa
four months while her husband
taught medicine at the University
College Ibaden, In Nigeria, lived
two years in Germany, while he
served in the Army and they
have explored the West Indies
together.
Summing up her aim, to the
fight-weary Negro parent, she
offered this encouragement:
"School officials are becoming
increasingly more aware that
the Negro’s role in the culture
and life of the United States
should be brought to white and
Negro children alike. It may seem
slow, but we are moving at a
rapidly stepped-up pace.”

Anti-Integration
Sir: I have read with disgust
and disappointment and pain
your articles and speeches ad
vocating so-called Civil Rights
and integration (phony).
Negroes spend half or more of
their hard earned income in buy
ing cars such as the Ford Fair-
lane, Thunderbird, Falcon. Mer
cury. Meteor. Comet, Lincoln
Continental, all of which are
manufactured by General Mo
tors. General Motors has been
picketed in Michigan by Ne
groes. because it refused to per
mit them to move up to im
portant positions or jobs paying
higher salaries. General Motors
has also refused to use Negro
men and women models to ad
vertise their cars. I was told
by one of their largest adver
tising agencies here that they
sa' no reason why they should
cater to any special group like
Negroes even though General
Motors is awaret of the millions
of dollars the Negro pours into
their car market. Now, I even
approached the labor leader of
the NAACP regarding General
Motors’ attitude towards us
and in return I received a note
from NAACP to come in and
talk over “my” employment
problem. They failed to realize
that this is “ours" the Negro’s
problem.
The major premise of the civil
righter and integrationist is
false. Therefore, any conclusions
based on it are false.
I wish such so-called leaders
will stop misleading our black
people. Their philosophy of lead
ership is based on: (1) a de
pendence on the white man, as
though he were God, (2) a oom-
plete lack of knowledge and un
derstanding of the history of the
black man (the so-called Negro
before the white man immoral
ly forced and deceived him into
a slavery worse than any be
fore over 400 years ago), (3) a
retention of the slave mentality,
and (4) begging the white man
to accept us.
I would suggest as a start that
you read the Negro Digest (Au
gust 1963, page 36) which I can
supply you free upon request.
Also I can supply you with other
historical facts and figures (not
in the white man’s books' which
show our history to be mil
lions of years older than the white
man’s who has only been in ex

As a white% news reporter
stated “a Negro boycott during

disastrous economic effects in

by the names of every car it

Even after the murder of Mis-

'Miss G. Bond
New York
, The diabolical murders of six
n°*'a°^ young Negroes within a few
hours apart demonstrates the
tragic reaction to tlie efforts of
America's greatest minority to
be free. Similar, but less vio
lent, reactions are being exhibit
ed in other parts of the coun
try — Chicago, New -York, Los
Angeles and Philadelphia where
issues like open occupancy, dis
crimination in jobs, segregated
schools, etc., have caused mis
guided white people to take to the
streets in strenuous efforts to
maintain the status quo. How
ever, thanks to a new type of
Negro leadership, the status quo
is dying. But the conscience of
white America must be reached
in a hurry if freedom is to
come to all Americans with a
minimum of violence and deaths.
White Americans must speak
out as they have not done be
fore. Their silence gives consent
to bigots. Their voices, loud and)
clear, may serve as deterrents
to force and violence.
. The collective temper of Ne-
gro America is fast rising to the
□oiling point. Unless responsible
white Americans assort them-
selves in behalf of racial jus-
tice, the top will surely blow.
Our great Negro leadership has
done its best, and its best has
been tremendous. The responsi
bility now rests on the shoulders
of the dominant group. What are
some things that this group do?
The media of expression
controlled by whites must do
more than report: it must appeal
for Justice. It must exhibit new
forms of leadership in the cur
rent phase of this civil rights
revolution.
It must call upon the govern
ments - local, state and nation
al — to enforce existing laws or
to make new ones, guarantee
ing that all of God’s children will
derive benefits equally there
from.
The white controlled media
must go after bigots with the
same vigor that they go after
advertising. This means, of
course, that these organs of in
formation must themselves be
extremely objective in the treat
ment of racial issues.
Politicians in and out of office
must place greater emphasis on
human rights than on political
privileges, for in so doing neither
would have to fear possible ret
ribution from white voters.
White ministers must have no
fear of the prejudices of their
congregations, if they really be
lieve that God is just. God made
all men. And He made them the
colors of His choice. Y et He
made them brothers.
School teachers should be made
cognizant of their great mis
sion: to rid their students of ig
norance. Not just in letters, but
also In human relations. But, tf
course, the later responsibility is
primarily that of the parents.
Finally, we Negroes also have
a responsibility. Our first re
sponsibility, however, is to con
tinue the fight for equal jus
tice. And while doing so to pre
pare ourselves for the greater
obligations that go with equality.
We can save America, if white
America will do its share. They
need do only what is right. The
rewards are worth the efforts.
