‘ABC STAGE 67’ TONIGHT

 

Negro Humor Is Shown
In °A Time for Laughter’

At the beginning of “A Time
For Laughter,” Harry Bela-
fonte’s production for “ABC
STAGE 67” Thursday, on Chan-
nel 11, host Sidney Poitier says,
“There are few things that ex-
press the mood of the Negro
better than his humor. Unlike
his musie — jazz — which has
been able to break out and move
societies of the world, Negro
humor has stayed home.”

 

Paul Jones is on vacation.

 

“A Time For Laughter” is an
attempt to bring that humor
into homes where it has never
been seen or heard; to intro-
duce audiences to such classic
comedians as Moms Mabley
and Pigmeat Markham, to the
kind of comedy this show calls

“Ghetto Talk,’ to the black)

birth of what became white
minstrel shows (“That’s how
‘darkies’ was born,” Poitier
comments ironically), to the
outspoken wit and satire of the
socio-political commentators of
the generation following after
Mabiley and Markham.

Producer Belafonte is also
performer Belafonte in “A Time
For Laugher,” displaying his
respect for a vaudeville tradi-

 

tion that greatly ante-dates him

in a time-honored sketch which
teams him with Pigmeat Mark-
ham and guest star Diahann
Carroll.

Godfrey Cambridge, actor-
turnec-comedian, also turns
writer in the production. He is
featured with Moms Mabley
and Broadway star Diana Sands
in a sketch he wrote, satiriz-
ing suburban social climbers of
all colors.

George Kirby, whose skills at
mimicry have made him a
popular guest on television va-
riety shows, plays a cast of
seven in a ghetto barber shop,
using the sharp edge of wit to
outline seven very different

 

types (in two colors).

The ghetto talk moves into
two other areas. In a pool hall
we find Redd Foxx, long-time
favorite on the circuit of night
clubs and theaters which play
primarily to Negro audiences
(and lately a guest on after-
noon game shows) utilizing his
zest for the language and
rhythms of the “fast-talking
hippie.”

In a funeral parlor, young
comedian Richard Pryor un-
solemnly intones a Satirical ser-
vice that — like much of hu-
mor’s spectrum — would be
equally at home in any color
scheme.

MLK: Where
The Action Is?
WASHINGTON -The liberal Washington
Post said Thursday that many who have
listened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with
respect in the past "will never again accord him the same confidence. He has diminished his usefulness to· his cause, to his
country and to his people. And that is a great tragedy." The Atlanta Negro leader deliberately dumped a hod cf bricks on his
own head when he narrowed his base in the civil r ights movement
to the confines of the Vietnam " peace movement. "
But the civil rights movement as it was practiced nonviolently under Dr. King was in trouble anyway. His demonstrations had won their big battles. The antipoverty progr am he
advocated had been hiring the old militant leaders and moving
them off the streets and into offices where they were invited to
perform instead of protest.
·
A fringe of " black power" advocates stole the stage. For all
their admirable goals of instilling pride of race in the Negro,
their technique was a dangerous reverse demogoguery and a
ready resort to violence.
The riots that ensued were disastrous for the civil rights
movement. After each outburst of lawlessness and vandalism,
white support dwindled, anti-Negro enmities hardened, and civil
rights leaders struggled to minimize the damage with cooling-off
periods that broke the momentum of the movement.
..
Then as the black power racists began expelling whites, wlio
used to make up a big contingent of the nonviolent demonstrations,
the war in Vietnam gave these white youngsters somewhere else
to go.
The same university campuses that supplied manpower and
money for the civil rights movement are preoccupied almost exclusively now with the peace-in-Vietnam protests. That's whef'e
the action is, all of a sudden, for the white kids who have been
told by Stokely Carmichael that the Negro doesn't need them
any more.
Dr. King must have watched this breaking up of a r ational
civil rights movement with deep dismay.
Without questioning his obviously deep-felt convictions about
e Vietnam, one can see that he is now in position to· salvage at
least some of the dissipated following of the civil rights movement, assuming a drastically narrow base is better than no
base at all.
Yet there is disappointment among many who had hop-ed
Dr. King would somehow overcome the obstacles and revitalize
a responsible movement within the civil rights arena itself, and
not !ollow !he bla~k powe~ hotheads int~ the emotional tangle of
foreign policy. This he failed to do. It IS probably right to call
it a tragedy. It now seems likely that the less spectacular but
harder working old organizations like the NAACP and the Urban
Lea~e. wip. have to ta_ke up the burden of new responsibilities if
the CIVIi nghts cause 1s to have continuity hereafter.

Picl{eting to
Grow Here
Atlanta Negroes' boycott and
picketing of a shoe store ch'ain
"is going to grow" to include
other Atlanta retail merchants,
Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. predicted Thursday.
Dr. King was among pickets
marching around in front of the
Peachtree store of ThompsonBoland-Lee, a shoe store. With
him on the picket line were
State Sen. Leroy Johnson and
City Alderman Q. V. Williamson.
"We believe that stores tl;lat
sell to Negroes should use Negro
personnel," Dr. King s-aid. " We
want some Negro salesmen up •
on the S"treet floor here."
Oscar Thompson, vice president and manager of the shoe
chain, said that his company
had 25 Negro employes out of
a total employe force of 125.
"My b u s i n e s s is selling
shoes," Thompson said. "I can't
let a bunch of ministers tell me
how to s-ell shoes. We have had
Negro employes for years, but
I'm not about to fire some white employe with 20 or mare ye·ars
experience juS"t to hire a Ne,gro
salesman."
Thompson said that he was
sure his percentage of Nem;o
employes was higher than any
other Atlanta stores.
King complained that Negro
sales people at the shoe store
were "down in the basement"
and not on the main sales floor.
Thompson s-aid that all personnel in the sales force started
"in the basement" and moved
up as their experience warranted.

Two Parties,
But No 'System'
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. -Smith College
students, struggling to understand the South,
ask the ancient question: " When will you have
two parties?" To say the question is relative, which it is, or
to propose a general answer, which one cannot, is unsatisfactory
to them.
They wsnt at least a guess as to when the South is going to
organize itself politically like everybody else. The answer may
even be never. But if a Southerner were required to risk a
generali?:ation, perhaps the most sensible way of getting at it
would be this:
Southern Republicans will be wise to offer an alternative; they
apparently cannot win a mere me-too campaign against the
Southern Democrats.
Winthrop Rockefeller moved to the left of a conservative
Democrat and won Arkansas in 1966.
Claude Kirk went to the right of a liberal Democrat and
won Florida.
Conservative Republicans tried to fight a me-too campaign
against conservative.Democrats in Mississip_QJ_, Alabama and Georgia, and lost all three. Georgia almost certain y would have g-one
Republican as Arkansas ilid if a Rockefeller-type candidacy had
been present to gather in the moderate and Negro vote.

states as do the principles that are in competition. An increase -0f
segregationist conservatism in a region already surfeited and
stifled with it can hardly be called a political service to the
South, whether it is the result of one party factionalism or is
sanctified with the shibboleth of "two party system." A way out
of the pa:;t, not a thrust backward into it, is the South's need.
And the Goldwater Republicanism of Mississippi, Alabama
and Georgia-and to some extent South Carolina-offered an echo
of old Democratic practices instead of the choice of something new.
Far from being constructive politically, this right wing challenge merely snuffed out the first glimmerings of moderation
among Deep South Democrats and drove them back to the right
to defend their old base of racism and reaction.
Then which party wil1 risk the first move toward the middle
of the road? Again, it is foolish to generalize: Georgia may be
almost as different from Alabama as Florida is from Arkansas.
Yet it would seem reasonable in Georgia at least for the R publicans to lead the way out of the right hand rut and toward
the center. The Democrats would undoubtedly follow them toward
that higher battleground, since they wete trying to move there
before the Goldwater debacle chased them back to their old base.
The state would benefit greatly by the moderating trend. And
a moderate Republicanism, being known nationally as the more
conservative philosophy anyway, might retain an advantage with
genuine conservatives while freeing itself, as well as the Democratic party, from the destructive business of courting segregationists to the exclusion of moderates and Negroes in the South.

Two Parties,
But No ‘System’

students, struggling to understand the South,
ask the ancient question: “‘When will you have

two parties?” To say the question is relative, which it is, or

to propose a general answer, which one cannot, is unsatisfactory

to them.

They want at least a guess as to when the South is going to
organize itself politically like everybody else. The answer may
even be never. But if a Southerner were required to risk a
generalization, perhaps the most sensible way of getting at it
would be this:

Southern Republicans will be wise to offer an alternative: they
apparently cannot win a mere me-too campaign against the
Southern Democrats.

Winthrop Rockefeller moved to the left of a conservative
Democrat and won Arkansas in 1966.

Claude Kirk went to the right of a liberal Democrat and
won Florida.

Conservative Republicans tried to fight a me-too campaign
.against conservative Democrats in Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
gia, and lost all three. Georgia almost certainly would have gone
Republican as Arkansas did if a Rockefeller-type candidacy had
been present to gather in the moderate and Negro vote.

All of which brings up the relative aspect of the thing. Party
labels don’t really mean as much to the future of the Deep South
states as do the principles that are in competition. An increase of
segregationist conservatism in a region already surfeited and
stifled with it can hardly be called a political service to the
South, whether it is the result of one party factionalism or is
sanctified with the shibboleth of “two party system.’? A way out
of the past, not a thrust backward into it, is the South’s need.

And the Goldwater Republicanism of Mississippi, Alabama

and Georgia—and to some extent Scuth Carolina—offered an echo

of old Democratic practices instead of the choice of something new.

Far from being constructive politically, this right wing chal-
| lenge merely snuffed out the first glimmerings of moderation
among Deep South Democrats and drove them back to the right
to defend their old base of racism and reaction.

Then which party will risk the first move toward the middle
of the road? Again, it is foolish to generalize: Georgia may be
almost as different from Alabama as Florida is from Arkansas.

Yet it would seem reasonable in Georgia at least for the Re-
publicans to lead the way out of the right hand rut and toward
the center. The Democrats would undoubtedly follow them toward
that higher battleground, since they were trying to move there
before the Goldwater debacle chased them back to their old base.

The state would benefit greatly by the moderating trend. And ©

a moderate Republicanism, being known nationally as the more
conservative philosophy anyway, might retain an advantage with
genuine conservatives while freeing itself, as well as the Demo-
cratic party, from the destructive business of courting segrega-
tionists to the exclusion of moderates and Negroes in the South,

85 Negroes
As Voters
Conslilntion Was hlni,to n Burea u
WASHINGTON-Federal registrars sent to oversee Negro
voter registration in three Georgia counties Monday listed only
85 persons during their first day
of operation, it was reported.
A spokesman for the U.S. Civil
Service Commission, which administer s the operat ion, said
only 84 voters were signed up in
Screven County, one in Ter'!ell
and none in Lee.
By contrast, three Shr eveport,
La., registration offices also
under their first day of federal
supervision Monday showed listings of 4 , 81 ancf 193 voters respectively, the CSC said.
Spokesmen here said they supposed the Georgia totals were
low because many eligible voters were not yet aware of e
opportunities provided through
longer registration hour s.
The registrars, the first sent
to Georgia counties under the
1965 Voting Rights Act, were assigned after the Justice department announced it had received
complaints of discrimination.
The federal supervisors are
stationed in Dawson, Leesburg
and Sylvania. No indication has
been given as to how long they
will remain there.
Rec en t voter registration
drives conducted by the Soi.;thern r egional council resulted in
49 new voters in Terrell County
and another 17'7 in Lee.
Daily totals are not made
available until the following day.
