Lincoln's Job Half-Done
Description
An account of the resource
Lincoln’s Job Half-Done…
When Lincoln freed the slaves, he undoubtedly hoped the Negroes would someday be accepted as equals by the other colors of people in this country. Today we find the Negroes released from formal bondage, but not equalized.
Racial Intermarriage…
We believe and know that Negroes differ from other peoples only in surface characteristics; inherently all are the same. The Negroes should be recognized as equals in our minds and hearts. For us, this means that Negroes should attend William and Mary; they should go to our classes, participate in College functions, join the same clubs, be our roommates, pin the same classmates, and marry among us.
However, this cannot and should not be done today, or tomorrow-- but perhaps the next day. Neither they nor we are ready for it yet. Only chaos such as the Southern states experienced during the Reconstruction would result if such a plan were initiated before both Negroes and others were educated for it.
The One Human Family…
Through education we learn of the spread of early man to all corners of the globe. Those who settled nearer the equator, whether in Europe, Asia, or in the Americas, developed a darker skin color than those who settled north of them. People’s hair often remained the same over great areas. Europeans remained quite hairy, but body hair almost disappeared in some parts of the world. Blue eyes appeared in the north, and in Asia a fold of skin developed over the inner corner of the eye, forming a slant eye.
Northern Negroes And Southern Whites
There is little difference in the heights or head shapes; white, Negroes, Mongols, and all races have the same four blood types. Test show that Negroes in this country made a lower score than whites on intelligence tests; they also show that Northerners, black and white, had higher scores than Southerners, black and white, and that Northern Negroes had higher scores than Southern whites. The differences did not occur because people were from the North or the South, or because they were white or black, but because of differences in income, education, cultural advantages, and other opportunities. Equal opportunities must therefore be offered to all peoples in all sections of the country.
Prejudice, A Nazi Strategy
The most important work, however, must be done in educating ourselves away from the idea of White Supremacy, for this belief is as groundless as Hitler’s Nordic Supremacy nonsense. We are injuring our personalities with arrogance; we are blocking our own emotional growth. Not until we eliminate Nazi race tactics in our own everyday life can we hope for a victory which will bring peace for the universal Human race of the One World.
Do you really want peace? Is your conscience clear?

William and Mary Flat Hat, 1945
Description
An account of the resource
This editorial from the Flat Hat (William & Mary student run newspaper) prompted the temporary suspension of the paper from publication, according to a 1985 publication called The Black Presence at William and Mary. Editor-in-chief Marilyn Kaemmerle claimed “Negroes should attend William & Mary,” though not at that time. Discussion of our collective biological origin, noting that “Northern Negroes had higher [IQs] scores than Southern whites,” and comparing desegregation to “…Nazi race tactics.” inflamed the conservative white administration. At a time when many believed in the separate but equal, Kaemmerle saw that freedom from formal bondage did not mean freedom from oppression.
The described editorial can be found on the final page of the edition.

Affirmative Action Report, 1973
Description
An account of the resource
Submitted on October 17, 1973, this summary of Affirmative Action initiatives at the College provides a thorough look into the attempt to stimulate a higher minority influence on campus, specifically in the faculty. From the first section, Structure and Administration, the College vaguely recognizes past prejudices and notes “in recent years, the College has sought to be responsive to the correction of [racial] imbalances, and to do this through processes of change that are not seriously disruptive to the character, continuity, stability, and long-term strength” (I-1). The Affirmative Action papers are simultaneously righteous, traditional, and aggressively liberal. They focus on change in administrative, social, economic, and academic areas. For example, the papers appear to offer childbearing leave for both sexes, but actually counts it as personal leave. In another case, the College counted black women as “Minorities” not “Women” in an attempt to increase their minority count. In fact, almost half of the papers focus on the role of women at the College. The school seems to be attempting to welcome women and minorities such as by providing an orientation program, priority for College housing, and equal opportunity facilities. This document often proposes conflicting views on the topic of Affirmative Action, as is exemplified by this statement: “the College feels that minorities must not only find their employment acceptable, but [it is] important for them to feel integrated into the mainstream of life at the College. In the quest for a broadened diversity, we do not want to sacrifice—with either minorities or women—the goal of larger community.”

End School Segregation Now! Communist Flyer
Description
An account of the resource
Less than a month after the Brown vs. Board of Education decision was announced in May 1954, this flyer was published and circulated by the Communist Party of Norfolk. On this flyer, the Communist Party endorses desegregation on the grounds that it is supported by millions of black and white Americans and that it would decrease the costs of supporting “dual facilities.” The Communist Party of Norfolk admonishes “artificial barriers” created by legislators working to protect “the interests of the wealthy few.” In a progressive stance, the flyer encourages civic participation in support of desegregation policies. It also makes several jabs at the power and influence exercised by the “Byrd machine and its local underlings,” a pro-segregation political faction led by US Senator Harry F. Byrd.
The flyer has a politically-motivated message that highlights a multi-racial movement to embrace racial desegregation and the Brown vs. Board ruling during the era of massive resistance. Although traditionally focused on socioeconomic division and oppression, here the Communist Party of Norfolk aligns itself with local black communities in the struggle for access to equal education by voicing the injustice of racial oppression.
