After his nomination, Barry had a few more choice words about the nation's news media. "I don't use the black brush on newspapers or the radio or TV," he told Phoenix TV Reporter Ralph Painter in a filmed interview. "Newspapers like the New York Times have to stoop to utter dishonesty in reflecting my views. Some of the newspapers here in San Francisco, like the Chronicle, are nothing but out-and-out lies...
Local Precedent. Ironically, the decision was handed down in the case of a white defendant convicted by an all-white jury in Americus, the county seat. Arrested during civil rights demonstrations there last August, Ralph W. Allen, a student from Connecticut's Trinity College, was first charged with inciting an insurrection, a capital offense in Georgia. But before Allen could be tried, the state's insurrection law was held unconstitutional by a federal court (TIME, Nov. 8). On the testimony of an Americus policeman who claimed that Allen threw a bottle at him, the 22-year-old civil...

Yet with Negroes joining the ranks of what Roy calls "the power people," that may soon change: "Where Negroes are bishops, they...
...merciless rendering of the type of Southerner who constantly vents his frustration with lines such as "What this country needs is white labor. Let these damn trifling niggers starve for a couple of years, then they'd see what a soft thing they have." Negro Novelist Ralph Ellison says that the enduring Dilsey Gibson reminds him of the real-life Rosa Parks, who touched off the Birmingham, Ala., bus boycott one day in 1955 when she refused to stand up for a white passenger because her feet hurt. Lucas Beauchamp catches to perfection the abrasive, unbending independence...
