The displacement of the Negro farmworker in the South in the past 25 years by mechanization has. undoubtedly. contributed to the social and economic problems of our section of the country. It is true that many of them have sought to improve their lot in life in other sections of the Nation. We do not blame them. but on the contrary. we think that this is in keeping with the American tradition. When the western frontier land was occupied through immigration. our new immigrants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries had to find. as Samuel Lubell has pointed out. their frontier in the industrial centers of America. And so it has been with the Negro. He has moved into the cities of the South and the North.
