Miss Smith Sees Segregation End ATLANTA — (ANP) — Lillian Smith, noted Georgia author and • strong advocate of human rights, told a racially mixed audience here Sunday that segregation is doomed as a southern pattern and predicted that it would fade within 10 years. The author of “Strange Fruit” and “Killers of the Dream,” speaking at the monthly open forum at Friendship Baptist church, said that segregation is a poison that affects the personali ties of both races. She warned against the practice of enlarging on racial differences and advised that people should be looked upon as “human beings” and not judged on the basis of their racial origin. “Segregation,” declared Miss j Smith, “is a wall that white peo pie have been leaning on for decades.” When the wall is re moved they will have to learn to stand on their own feet, she pointed out. Whites in many in stances, she said, have become | angry and blamed Negroes for their own sins committed. Miss Smith was very optimistic over the fading of jimcrow, but she said that the north has re- . laxed its fight against racial bias. She commented that some day the j south may have to send mission- , aries to help with the north’s ills, j The work of the NAACP came in for special high praise from Miss Smith. She complimented; the NAACP for its methods in seeking redress through the courts and making full use of the facili ties made possible by the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. George Washington’s cabinet was composed of secretaries of State. Treasury and War.
