Their baby had everything hung on him that the magazines say a well-dressed baby ought to have. And then there was the baby’s grandmother—also right out of the old South. She wore a turban just like, the one in the pancake ads. I noticed that her 'hands were hard and knotted and gnarled. I was to see many hands like that on little old colored women in the weeks to come. They get that way from long hours on a hoe in the cotton fields. Becoming an Alien People On our way back to our Jim Crow seats we pressed carefully through the queue of whites wait ing to enter the diner. Then we staggered through the swaying Pullmans past the white folks— but careful not to jostle or bump any of them. Already I was in the pattern. Already I was experiencing the thing that was to grow upon me through the succeeding weeks. These whites already were a peo ple entirely alien to me, a people set far apart from me and my world. The law of this new land I had entered decreed that I had to eat apart from these pale skinned men and women—behind that symbolical curtain. For 300 years these people had told each other, told the world, told me, that I was of an inferior breed, that if I tried to associate with them they would kill me. Already I had begun to dislike them. It did no good to tell my self that I was white —or that I would be white again four weeks hence. I was beginning to think like a black man. Not that I wanted to ride with these whites, nor eat with them. What I re sented was their impudent as sumption that I wanted to mingle with them, their arrogant and conceited pretense that no mat ter how depraved and degenerate some of them might be, they, each and everyone of them, was of a superior breed. A Psychological Change In weeks to come I was to be come seriously concerned about the psychological change that was taking place in my thinking. There were to be nights when I had. sat for hours _ listening to grim tales of injustice, and cru elty and the wanton shedding of innocent blood, that I began to be worried over the problem of turning my mind white again. To tell the truth, I doubt- if I ever regain the satisfied, su perior white psychology that I took South with me. Came morning and Atlanta. Now I had been briefed for days on my manners and behavior as a Negro. And I went wrong be fore I even got out of the Atlanta railroad station. I was ahead of my companion and mentor since I was traveling light and he was laden with more bags than an actor. Through the front portal of the station I could see the line of waiting cabs. Eager to be helpful I hustled ahead, in tent on staking claim to a cab. “Wait a minute,” I heard my friend call. “This way.” I back tracked and he led me through a door branded “For Colored,” to a small littered waiting room.

STEELE Royal Typewriter Agency FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1948 Delta Chi's Fete Kiddies at Party Nearly fifty kiddies, aged 3-12, had an unusual treat Wednesday night when the Lone Ranger and T onto, his redskin side-kick, pa)d a visit to the Delta Chi fraternity. In the persons of brothers Louis Walker and Robert Von Storch, the famous radio personalities highlighted a Hallowe’en party to which children of the frater nity’s neighbors were invited. The large turnout was attrib uted to a doorbell-ringjng invita tion system carried out by pledges, according to Donald Bowser, major domo for the affair. The children appeared in cos tume, and carried away prizes awarded for the funniest and cleverest outfits, and for the youngest child present. * Traditional apple-bobbing, marshmallow, and string-chewing contests proved a hit with the youngsters, some of whom brought their parents. Hallowe'en Party A “Come As You Are” Hal lowe’en party will be given by the Episcopal Church in the Episcopal Parish House, 8 p.m. tonight. Dancing will be round and square, and all students are invited, Jacque Solomon, chair man. said. Refreshments will be served. other door with the Jim Crow brand above it led outside. Here was- no wide portico, no line of cabs. In fact, no cab. Not until you called one. I knew of course that white and Negro passengers must wait in separate waiting rooms in southern railroad sta tions. But I didn’t know until then that there were black and white entrances to stations. Just Police Inefficiency But my mistake gave my com panion an idea. He led me around to the front of the station and we defiled the white folk’s entrance by going through it. Nothing hap pened. So we tried it again. Still nothing happened. “Well, why aren’t we in jail? Looks like the white folks are easing up,” I said to my com panion. He was actually disappointed. But his reaction was somewhat astonishing. “Just another example of po lice inefficiency,” he asserted. “There usually is an officer on duty at, that front entrance with the sole duty of shooing Negroes around to the side entrance.” My friend was all set for minor ad venture and then the Atlanta police force let him down. “Seriously though,” he told me while we waited for our Jim Crow cab, “ordinarily we’d have been stopped and told to go to the colored entrance. There’d have been no unpleasantness un less we had refused. They wouldn’t even have called us ‘nigger’ as they would have a few years ago. But if you have any idea you can walk through the white folks’ entrance to a railroad station—you just try it at anv station in the South out side Atlanta. And I'll stand back and watch—and bail you out.” Politelv I declined his chal lenge. That was the first, last and onlv time I disobeyed the white folks’ law during all my stay in the South. Finally our cab, with the “For Colored” legend that Georgia law requires on its door, arrives. Half an hour later we debark at the home of my friend—the way I feel right now, my only friend in all the world—just off Auburn avenue, Atlanta’s Black Broad wav. Well—l’d asked for it. Now I was due to get it.
