No, We Haven't Read Judge Brady's
"Black Monday"
Purported to take severely to task the entire personnel of the United States Supreme Court, Circuit Judge, Tom Brady of the state of Mississippi, has gotten out a book. His book bears probably for him an appropriate title: "Black Monday." Another fellow statesman, Senator James O. Eastland has already proposed an investigation of the Supreme Court Justices.
It will be recalled, while on "Black Monday" that the aspirants for Governor in the state of Mississippi swore to maintain segregation during their administrations.
Just now Mississippi is much in the news. Ellis W. Wright, business leader, former president of the Jackson (Miss.) Chamber of Commerce and head of the so-called Citizens Council in calling his state-wide confab invites "all white men and women who are concerned with maintaining segregation in the schools, swimming pools, hotels, restaurants, motion picture shows, buses and racially separate neighborhoods."
So it will be seen that Judge Tom Brady is in an excellent atmosphere in which to write "Black Monday." He is a graduate of Yale and being liberally educated and a learned lawyer, would suggest that the Judge beyond a doubt would exploit ignorance and resort to race-baiting -- as long as it pays off.
Nope, we have not read "Black Monday."
