Southern Women and the South's Race Problem
Pamphlet published by the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, written by Robert B. Eleazer, Educational Director. The pamphlet describes commission meetings in Memphis, Tn. and Atlanta, Ga., and the responsibility felt by southern white women (primarily church women), study and then improve the lives of black women and children in their cities. <br /><br />The need for day nurseries, kindergartens, clinics, playgrounds, better schools, improved housing and sanitation, safer conditions of travel, and especially the "unmeasured condemnation of lynching" are all noted. <br /><br />p. 2 "The purpose of this organization and its affiliated state and local committees is to bring about better understanding, justice and fair dealing between the white and colored races. The Commission believes that the white race, as the more fortunate group and the one responsible for the Negro's presence in America, is under obligation to be both just and generous toward the latter. It believes further that the welfare and even the racial integrity of the two groups can be effectively preserved in no other way."
Eleazer, Robert B.

The Southern Frontier, vol. 2, no. 4
<p>Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), <em>The Southern Frontier</em> was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940. Aiming to share the stories overlooked by traditional newspapers, the newsletter published stories of social progress, as well as stories of racial injustices faced by African Americans across the American South.</p>
<p>As described by the then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name <em>The Southern Frontier </em>alludes to the need for even greater pioneering and progress in the social and cultural frontiers, the American South being the most turbulent field in reference to race relations and progress at the time.</p>

<p>Selected articles are: <br /><br />“Education for Security” – An article describing the underfunded Southern school system in face of the large sums being spent on military funding for World War II. <br /><br />"An Open Letter to Eugene Talmadge (Governor of Georgia)" from <em>The Macon News</em>, regarding his veto of a state training school for African American girls. <br /><br />“`The Mind of the South’ `Lanterns on the Levee’” – Reviews of two books describing the psyche and culture of the American South.<br /><br />"Short Changed" -- an editorial cartoon from the Louisville <em>Courier-Journal</em></p>
