SHALL WE STEM THE TIDE? By RUTH N. THIBODEAUX Southern Regional Director

As \\ e come up [rum di,·ing· in the surg·ing hiflows. we gather in a sense of the im mc-ns-t 1· oi the movement upon the sea. which causes the flow and ebb of tides. Probably for a long· t ime it will not again occur to us the tremendous impact of a force so great. 'ot even when \\'l' art' permitted to vie w the distant shore lines. and sec the iut tinz hills. the ragged crags, the coral reds. t hc glittering sand dunes and the st a tely piers wh ich bend their arms to harness or stem the tides. \\'e might watch and sec the grandeur of the ebb and now of the ticks, and then raise this time old question. "Wha t if the chain of rcact iou should integrate into the chain of action of a united force moving in one direction?" \\'e think of ho\\' swiftly this force would push hack our acclaimed hounditry and ho\\' quickly the lines of demarcation wuuk] he obliterated. until there 11 ould loom somewhere in the distant space a n e w frontier. It might even he like the "Brimming brook" that flrms rn1 lorcvcr. There is another tide. it is the gro\\ ing edge of a 111ight} movement. Thi» tide carries with it the wave of States' Rights: it i:-; seeking to engulf our whole nation. There are hidden hv this Jacobean mask, the iollowing: segregatio11. sul>s.tancla rd living. quasi-educational opportunities and second class c it iz cnxhij- ior the ~egro. It is augmented by t r ibut ar ics. 11 hich flow out of ignorance, hate. greed. avarice. and political skulduggery: it is opposed to human rights. ( For 1, ho 101 es human rights must first he w i-«: and g-ood). rt has a cry. that is heard from afar. "The Negro in the South, if g-ivrn civil rig-hts. wi ll take liberty for license." \Ve raise h ·n· a Ic w questions. 1. \\'ill human rights mean absence of restraint? 2. \\'hat can W(' do when one man's freedom int e r lcrc s with the civil rights of others? 3. \\'hat docs the new rule g-overningfilibuster mean ia America t odav ? \\'hat did the coalat ion of the (;.O.

Does this mean that the t\cgro is caught in the channel ()f t w« cnnvergin;.:· streams ,eeking to destroy him; In t lu- \\'nrds of Ralph \lcLill. editor of the

pcct of the \\ hole c!lnl ro, ers1 about civil rights. is that it has come t o mean ·ct·rtain spl·rilic hills he Iorc Congn·ss. and not an m· ·rall npproach to the problem .• 't·,·crlhele-.,. it has lin·n !lJH' ()f tlH' tragedil'~ of tht· South. that t 1, ice in periods of great slruggks for human righh. sht· has ht·t·n jockcy(•d into a pr,sit ion oi hugg-ing lo hn breast. a m,iral \\ rong: and ,tuhl>ornl) dl'fl·111li11g it."

ride is not a11kk dcl'p: it is not knel' deep: it is not ll'aist deep: this tide is incomprehensible in its depth. "It is 1Yater to swim in and druwn in." Shall we stem this tide? "f\1 etaphysirs don't tan(;ihilitate". This pro11ounce111c11l attrihutecl to l•athL'r Divine voices a common distrust in any atl 111pt to deal with basic and l!ltimate realities. \\'c \\'ant lo lind a :,olution lo our pn•:,sini.:· prohk111s: 11·e arr impatient with metaphvsics, which some philosophers call "an unusirnllv stubborn attempt lo think things through." The l•rame of reference in which most of us live is that of the immediate. Onr desires and impulses seek pres ·ul g-rati fication. and thl' non-rational phase· of our behavior seem to be intolerant of the ti111<' sense. \,\'hen a patient is in seven· pain. and "ht·n his condition is desperate, it 11 ould seem ironic for the plwsirian at his be<lside. to clisc11!>, a th ·orv of mct;tholism: the sulfrrer wants relid. and wants it quickly. Ile expects something- connde. such as medicine or an opnatio11. which \\'ould Ii(' immediate in reaching the seat of the disease. A dissertation on philosophy would appear more than inappropialc'; it 11·ould be an affront to tlw indi l'idual whose need is so urgent and physical.
