Title A name given to the resource The Religious Newsweekly Editor NANCY LAWRENCE 9RNW2/25/57 TUESDAY February 26 Appeal for Aid to Interracial Community Heard by 1500 An appeal for new members to join a Christian interracial community in the Deep South was made by the Rev. C Conrad Browne before a throng of 1500 people who jammed a Brotherhood Week meeting in South Bend, Ind., last week. But he warned them that it wouldn't be easy. Twelve rounds of rifle fire have been pumped into his house, he said, narrowly missing his daughter, and bombing and burnings continue to plague Koinonia, the interracial community farm which he directs in Americus, Ga. The Brotherhood Convocation, sponsored by the St. Joseph County Council of Churches, heard Rosa Page Welch, noted singer, and also witnessed a production of Thornton Wilder’s drama, "The Unerring Instinct.” Mr. Browne reported on the wave of violence directed against the sixty-odd families living on the farm. On the advice of community project leaders, about one-third of the families have since moved away, he said. Coupled with the violence came an economic boycott, said Mr. Browne. "No local market will buy our produce, feed salesmen will not sell to the farms, fuel dealers have discontinued deliveries, no one will process our cotton and insurance has become unavailable.” Although he did not appeal for funds personally, several ministerial associations, local and state church councils are sponsoring projects to aid the community. Mr. Browne told his audience: “When our fuel was cut off, we got our own gas pumps but they became targets for shotgun blasts and we lost our supply of butane gas and building materials in fires. The problem of insurance is still not solved,” he said, adding, “one company after another has dropped our policies, including a New Zealand firm.” Those remaining at Koinonia are determined to carry on, declared Mr. Browne, who also thanked local and state church councils for their sympathy and support.

Atlanta, Georgia February 13, 1957 BACKGROUND SUMMARY OF VIOLENCE AT KOINONIA FARM, SUMTER COUNTY, GEORGIA Koinonia (Greek for “a community”) was founded in 1942 by a group of Southerners. Located on State Highway 49 in Sumter County near Americus, Georgia, the farm is an interracial religious cooperative with everyone sharing in the proceeds of the farm according to needs. Koinonia, which was started on 440 acres of land, now comprises 1,100. In 1955, Koinonia held its first interracial summer camp for children. The camp was approved by the American Camping Association. The Reverend Clarence Jordan, a Baptist minister, was co-founder of Koinonia and has remained as one of its leaders. April, 1956--Rev. Clarence Jordan announced that he was willing to sign entrance to Georgia State College of Business Administration (white) for two Negro applicants. Fact was headlined in Americus and other Georgia papers. Rev. Jordan did not actually sign application since he was ruled ineligible to do so by the executive secretary of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The Koinonia newsletter charged that before Rev. Jordan got home from Atlanta, Governor Griffin had called the Sheriff of Sumter County, asking “who Jordan was" and what he was up to. Shortly following press accounts of Rev. Jordan’s Atlanta experience, the farm began to receive anonymous telephone calls. Within a matter of a few days, the first of the farm’s insurance policies were cancelled, retail merchants began to stop handling Koinonia eggs, and roadside signs were torn down. Pistol shots were fired at the roadside stand. June 9, 1956 - A temporary injunction restraining Koinonia from operating its children’s camp was handed down on charges brought by the Sumter County Health Department. The department asked that the farm be restrained from operating the camp on “health and sanitation ground.” July, 1956 - A Sumter County health engineer made an inspection of camp and farm and made minor recommendations, which, according to farm officials, "were carried out.” July 2, 1956 - At the hearing on the injunction, the county attorney asked that it be postponed to July 19 because he had not had time to prepare his case. July, 1956 - Wilson Finch, W. A. Helms, Sherrard Horne, and A. H. Jennings, four Sumter County farmers, sought to associate with the county in the injunction claiming that the sponsors of the camp had no license and would operate the camp “in a manner detrimental to morals.” Meanwhile, the camp was opened at a site outside Georgia. July 19, 1956 - At the hearing, Superior Court Judge Cleveland Rees looked at the crowded courtroom and decided that it would be a "wrangle between the gospel and law,” and so ordered another postponement with the cases to be presented by brief and affidavit. Material was to be presented to him by September 20, 1956. July 23. 1956- The roadside market at Koinonia was dynamited. The blast occurred shortly after 10 p.m. Damage was estimated at $3,000. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/18935/archive/files/596b3eb8c945d04432cc89597df7d46e.jpg?Expires=1779321600&Signature=AuibDPmVkfrXe-Il%7E5D8vY8zYxhMwyc90YpXsIPvcf-hyFXjAO-if7fd3WJl-ovrHgv-uA4puzNeXgzhjw13lVaCxCLAMWTjVvfprVxhXp5sPDFD3UYIxQOq33BkaDQr%7EKBtZVYyzeRkEQ0qqR1M0uyAq9FWdtpSxxv8MN2EXlr7IwnwANP0jrXwfXS2XH9L94tj13G5A8mrtdDek6Hu3TZtB%7ESEYzqlJZEYFk%7Ep5EN9rPaBgAGvYbEfS-63katHJDxHjatqBXjJEux3XqrfPx-OGyiPGPjuh0x8Ws%7EegjiZhYMyPW3LD4skqmZYWlwnpwi2j1%7EdFTmbLSvplb42gA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 0af415b4e9c178677bfed948d6221641 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource September 24, 1956 - Judge Rees signed an order dissolving the injunction, since in effect attorneys for both sides had agreed that the question had become moot. Tom Marshall and Tom Clark of the law firm of Dykes, Dykes, and Marshall represented the four Sumter County farmers. Sumter County commissioners were represented by Hollis Forte. Osgood Williams of Atlanta represented Koinonia. September 24, 1956 - The Koinonia newsletter declared that an “economic blockade is virtually complete....The gas and oil situation remains critical. No distributor in Americus or Sumter County will supply us ...Yesterday, another feed dealer, after supplying us for awhile, cut us off.” Koinonia officials said they took the one child attending a local high school out of the school and sent him out of the state. This was done, they said, because "on the bus and between classes the older boys beat him and harassed him in countless ways.” Farm officials reported that State Farm Mutual Insurance Company had cancelled insurance policies on six of their trucks and automobiles. Earlier, officials said that an airplane company had refused to dust their cotton for weevils and that a local fertilizer company refused to sell to them. “The auto dealer, with whom we’ve done business over the years and who did practically all our repair work, said he wanted our business no longer," farm officials said. November 27, 1956 - Several rounds of buckshot were fired into the roadside market. Shots ruined a refrigerated meat case valued at $300. January 14, 1957 - A dynamite charge exploded inside the roadside market. Damage estimated from $5,000 to $7,000. Pieces of market blown 240 feet. Building was 20 by 30 feet. (Also during this period, four shots were fired from a slow-moving car into a gasoline pump. The four shots all landed within an area six inches in diameter.) January 16, 1257 - A resolution was unanimously passed by the Americus and Sumter County Ministerial Association, condemning violence against Koinonia. The resolution adopted read: "We deplore and condemn the use of violence in any form against property and/or persons because of their personal beliefs which do not endanger the rights of others. As Christians and citizens we hold the right to disagree with others concerning their beliefs without forcing their agreement or yielding ours. "We further condemn lawlessness in any form and call upon every citizen and call upon every citizen and the forces of law to do all things necessary to protect the rights, properties, and lives of others in our community, state, and nation. "In these difficult days in which many nations and people look to these United States for moral as well as political leadership, it behooves each citizen - and especially each Christian - to assert positive efforts to strengthen the cause of civic righteousness.” The Ministerial Association also sent a letter to Governor Marvin Griffin. January 18, 1957 - The Koinonia newsletter stated: “A short while ago we were notified by Mr. Willis Shiver, head of the Shiver Lumber Company, that no more building materials would be sold to us. Mr. Shiver is a steward in the First Methodist Church. Fourteen of our buildings have been erected wholly or partially with materials obtained from him. He said that the reason he cut us off was “pressure from level-headed business men and that his own feelings made him receptive to the pressure.” January 18, 1957 - A house on the Koinonia Farm was burned. https://d1y502jg6fpugt.cloudfront.net/18935/archive/files/af4aecd83619f2825c2ca1ec177e08dc.jpg?Expires=1779321600&Signature=BjJUZYCl9LXakdZ8qKwSkpSW2EWxs5llHA%7EkJa0neGk1h-mCp3Ig0BIB466icqbh8yuVH5SQznyCigz%7EnFC28pRnO%7EFj3GRniHHjWOiOLViQ73jwKnkgNHaf9G30din0E%7EkMi4rM4Q0etTIMpn3kTa6T0CRs4Nl%7EZmSGnJgSLTWJcFFTA9mBakT1yBZTCvTQQXGmhG1hmocRaP3lw5%7EcO8KgkTKoOSYb1VzzUwZUnXS3z10ysravtXamWv4R%7E3geROjLeCqN7trHF5yvF3z5u2RWA5ZlRMHSLGIq--Lev5p2cDEZ6sy3TWwsoAPI%7EyQA6KmLGI9x0VrEnUrtrHbKmA__&Key-Pair-Id=K6UGZS9ZTDSZM 8bffc86bd30d0b0dd79e0df30fb3b53a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Sumter County sheriff said the shots were .45 caliber. Persons on the farm say they believe the shots were from a sub-machine gun. February 1, 1957 - Ten or eleven shots were fired at a house on Koinonia Farm. Some of the shots went through a window of the house nearly hitting an 11-year-old-girl. February 1, 1957 - The Georgia Council of Churches Executive Board and the Executive Committee of the United Church Women of Georgia passed a joint resolution condemning violence against Koinonia Farm.

The item reads Attention citizens of Greenwood and surrounding area The revolutionary forces at work in this area have begun a boycott of certain business establishments in the city of Greenwood. This useless troublemaking agitation is being sponsored by a group of draft card burning disloyal pro communist riffraff known as the Mississippi freedom Democratic Party it’s local prime mover is a nigger preacher who runs a shoe repair business on Johnson Street. JD Collins has prospered in Greenwood and he is repaying this town for its goodness to him by trying to destroy it We have the manpower and the willpower to remove the scum from the streets but we do not wish to bring this type of trouble to the good name of our fair city. We will not stoop to the level of the trash who seek to promote chaos in our city. There are several things which we ask all good citizens both white and colored to do to counteract these troublemakers. They picked the time of the year when business is generally slow so as to impress their gullible followers with the success of their efforts. We should all make a special effort to be on the streets of downtown Greenwood as much as possible so as to put the lie to their claims of success. Law-enforcement officials and responsible private citizens will be on hand to see to it that everyone is protected on our city streets. The primary object of this so-called boycott is the liberty cash grocery owned by Mr. Sam Killebrew. Mr. Killebrew has been more tolerant with the colored element of his trade and almost any other businessman in town and some of them are rewarding him by trying to destroy his business. Neither he nor in any other businessman can meet the impossible demands of this nefarious group. We should all make a special effort to do some of our grocery buying at the store. Any effort at intimidation by this sorry element against any citizen white or colored should be reported to the law or to any responsible citizen and appropriate action will be taken. This is communism in action the end justifies the means and they only succeed where ignorance and timidity prevail. We worn this group who is not only our enemy but the enemy of all good citizens of this area not to misinterpret our intentions. We are and will remain equipped and ready for any eventuality.
