Even though he is still in high school or junior college, and one of the many thousands unlikely to have the opportunity to study at a major university in the South, education has already inspired him with a desire for the freedom of conduct and expression his parents and grandparents never knew. Now for the first time the Negro student in Arkansas or elsewhere in the Deep South has the courage to rebel openly against the social and economic restrictions that have been imposed upon his race for the past two centuries. And like students everywhere in the contemporary world, he does not hesitate to reject the reactionary principles of the established order when they attempt to suppress the progressive ideals of youth. All traditions cling tenaciously to the past, and racial traditions in particular are deeply rooted in the white man’s South. As most Negro students know, they have a long way to go before they will be able to cross the long-established color lines and succeed in abolishing racial discrimination and placing it in a chapter of history.
