...yourself whipped-with love, but you were torn up just the same." The color bar was as strong in Laurel as anywhere in the South, but the children were not aware of it at the time: "We were taught to judge peo ple as individuals, not on the pigment of their skin," says George. Today some Southerners use the Price success story to bolster their arguments. Says Laurel's Leader-Call Editor J. W. West: "This gal is a good example to other nigras. She wasn't hurt by attending a nigra school...
...molecular level, in order to determine the ultimate biochemical reasons for its destructive potency. This problem has taken him into many fields. From a commercial laboratory he learned that traces of iron reduce the yield of toxin. He was able to determine that the production of a pink pigment called coproporphyrin was similarly diminished by iron. This discovery in turn led him back to work he had done as a graduate student...
Vitiligo, or "piebald skin," is a disease that can be badly disfiguring in Negroes. It is characterized by smooth, light-colored patches of skin from which the natural pigment has disappeared. When it attacks the face, vitiligo sometimes produces a mottled, owlish visage. Victims usually cover the splotches with makeup or, in desperation, resort to tattooing-which rarely helps. Georgetown University's Dr. Robert Stolar last week announced that he got dramatic results from treating vitiliginous Negroes with a drug called monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone (MBEHQ). The drug's effect; it turns Negro skin white...
Spread daily on the body in the form of an ointment, MBEHQ interferes with formation of the natural skin pigment. It works only on Negroes who already exhibit telltale light splotches of vitiligo therefore have a demonstrated tendency toward depigmentation. Dr. Stolar reported that he had successfully treated more than 300 vitiliginous patients, many of whom chose to use the ointment only on small areas of their skin. But 16 patients who decided to try MBEHO more extensively, Dr. Stolar said, have achieved almost total body depigmentation, which presumably will last as long as they continue using the drug...
...this ninth annual Festival, the painting jury made its choices, and the battle was on. The jury stated that it recognized certain common denominators in all art: "competence, craftsmanship, honesty, and individual vision." It went on: "Skillful manipulation of pigment has taken precedence over the expression of deep human involvement. The Festival entries underline this generalization. . . . In particular we missed the more disciplined constructive aspect of image making, and, at the other extreme, the painter's pure joy of uncovering the visible world. We observed with regret that some of the most vigorous painters of our regional community...
