UT panelist: Blacks
should keep eye
on past struggles
AUSTIN (AP) — Young blacks
are making a big mistake by forget
ting past civil rights struggles and
are allowing advancements blacks
have made to regress, the first black
to enter the University of Kentucky
said Thursday.
Lyman T. Johnson, who entered
Kentucky in 1949, compared the
struggles of blacks to his attempts as
a young man to move a horse-drawn
flatbed truck up a hill.
When he was ready to whip the
horse, Johnson said his father told
him to put rocks behind the wheels
instead.
“Tell young blacks they are goof
ing when they don’t go look back
over the hard struggles we have
been under,” Johnson said. “And if
they don’t go back and put a rock
under the wheel, they will roll back
down.”
Johnson was part of a panel dis
cussion at a two-day University of
Texas symposium honoring Heman
Sweatt. After a four-year lawsuit that
went to the U.S. Supreme Court,
Sweatt became the First black to en
ter the University of Texas Law
School.
The symposium was the brains
torm of a group of black UT stu
dents who wanted to honor Sweatt,
and it was aided by several school or
ganizations, alumni and funding
from school President William Cun
ningham.
Eddie Reeves, one of the symposi
um’s organizers, said, “It’s important
not to forget the civil rights mov-
ment and what Heman Sweatt did,
but also it’s also important to look at
what the future holds for black peo
ple in general,”
Another speaker at the event was
James Meredith, who was accompa
nied by thousands of National
Guard soldiers when he enrolled at
the University of Mississippi.
Meredith said today’s blacks need
to do two things: “We got to get our
family together . . . We got to get our
political and economic house in or
der.”
If blacks become strong economi
cally and politically, “nobody can
stop us,” he said.
Sweatt was kept from entering the
UT Law School by officials who ar
gued that a separate-but-equal
school, Texas Southern University,
was available for blacks.
The Supreme Court case, Sweatt
vs. Painter, proved the two facilities
were not equal •
