Time, timing and presidential leadership in the
civil rights struggle, not only now but for a century
past, will get tar more scrutiny after present tensions
have subsided. ■ *
This is the question involved:
Why didn’t presidents since the Civil War pro-
vide far more leadership in obtaining full civil rights
for Negroes? —
President Johnson can be fairly excused- from
the question. In 1964, his first White House year, he
fought hard and successfully for a Civil Rights
Now. just starting his first full term, he is pushing-—
another. —
Time and timing were on his side. The time mT—
right. The long Negfo fight for justice, and an in- '
I creasingly sympathetic mood in Congress and the
country, laid for Johnson a solid, broadly supported
foundation on which to act. ,r
And his timing was excellent, in “the sense of

He picked a moment at the crest of national ex-
citement over events in Alabama.
Why some of the other presidents in the past
100 years did little or nothing to secure justice for
Negroes may be explained in various ways, probably
none of them satisfactory to Negroes who hlra to en-
dure a century in an American limbo. It’s a dense
field for sociologists and political scientists to plow.
In some, no doubt, there was a real lack of in-
terest. It might be argued they Jacked interest 'be-
cause there was no broad popular demand, among
whites, for this kind of social and political justice.
But that in turn raises the old, obvious question:
Does a leader lead or does he follow the crowd? 1
Negroes might have obtained their full civil
rights far sooner if presidents through the years had
made a much sterner, pitch to arouse the national
conscience. Through leadership, time and timing
might have been created.

said it was; constitutional to segregate Negroes if

The popular interest and conscience weren't
aroused by this decision making Negroes .second-
class cjMzens but it. was so aroused by the income
tax verdict that the nation in 1913 approved the Con-
stitution’s 16th Amendment approving the income
tax and thus throwing out what the court had said.
But the nation was never interested enough in
the Negroes to approve another amendment nullify-
ing the court’s verdict that Negroes could be segre-
gated or urging other decisive action to cancel the
verdict. *
