Robert Durr

Born and raised[edit]

The earliest available record of Robert Durr presently is when he registered for the military draft for WWI on September 9, 1918.[1] It noted his birth as July 14, 1899, however his 1942 draft registration places his birth July 14, 1898.[2] The 1918 mention notes he was a student at Piney Woods Institute as it was known in early days, Braxton, Mississippi, and his mother as Maggie Durr at the same address as his permenent address. The school had been founded in 1909, following the Booker T. Washington approach to Black education, by Laurence C. Jones, a graduate of the University of Iowa.[3] The school expanded in 1912, when Durr was 13, with the donations of a White lumberer.[4][5]:p 1 The town itself dates back just to 1889.[6] In his young years, Durr is mentioned aiding his father farming.[5]:p4 In 1921, Durr referred to the pledge his mother made of funding his education after his father had refused to do so as his most important thrilling moment.[7] Pictures from before 1914 to 1917.[5]:p3 Louis Gregory is visible with Dr Jones standing in front of the second boys dormitory, of the period,[5]:pp3,8 though perhaps Durr didn't note it. It is known Gregory was on his second visit at Tuskegee amid tour of 14 states in 1916,[8] at the invitation of Booker T. Washington.[9]:p35 Circa 1930, it was reported that the institute was strongly associated with the Missouri Synod of Lutherans, and not welcoming of Bahá'í contacts, though contacts were made.[10] Gregory returned there in 1936(need to filter the refs).[11]

The Feb 3, 1920, US Census reports Robert was living amidst the extended Durr family in Simpson County, MS, son of Wilson and Maggie Durr. Robert was now a teacher at the Common School.[12]

Beginning Editor[edit]

In May 1920, Durr was on the staff of, and wrote an article for, the Des Moines Bystander, in Iowa, and was noted as a practicing minister, (note the Bystander archive is 1894–1921 only.)[13] With the increasing visibility, interest in Durr's background rose and there was mention of his background with the Piney Woods School.[14]

In September, he gave a talk for the AME church.[15] In October, Durr was at a conference.[16] He continued to author articles….[17]

While the available collection of The Bystander ends in 1921. There remains no coverage yet found of Durr across 1922 to earlier 1925.

Tests and Truth[edit]

1925 came with some challenges. Durr was no longer with the Bystander. He and his pregnant wife were jailed in August 1925. He had attempted to found a business, the Southern Register of Jackson MS, a school, and had been the secretary of the Negro Business League of Des Moines.[22][23] He had delayed on shipping groceries until there was a larger group of customers and there was a complaint that led to the warrant and while he was away his wife was arrested and then eventually turned himself in. They had been in jail some months when newspaper coverage began. Son Robert Jr was born Dec 23, 1925, in Birmingham, Alabama.[24]

In September 1929 Durr was reported as the new editor of The Christian Reformer of Independent Methodist Episcopal Churches of Missouri in Birmingham.[25] In November, an editorial of Durr's was published in the Chicago Defender], a Black newspaper with a national reputation.[26] By this time he served as general secretary of the Independent Methodist Episcopal Church of America based in Birmingham.[27]

With the beginning of the Great Depression, the April 1930 Census placed Durr and his family renting a home on 1st St in Birmingham, Alabama, for $12 a month($233 in 2025 dollars.)[28] It noted him employed as a porter in a department store and the family hosted a lodger.

Closing out 1930, Durr founded a nondenominational Truth Church on Eighth Ave N, promoting "fulfilling human needs physically, politically and educationally as well as spiritually,” and associated with the Social Service Institute also on Eighth Ave N.[32]

By May 1931 the Truth Church was providing legal aid centers in cooperation with Good Will Industrial Relief Center.[33] In June, Durr helped lead an interacial interdenominational Bible school,[34] and in August was promoting Church assistance,[35] and supporting a local women's initiative.[36]

In the depths of the Great Depression in the United States, Durr was visible with The Birmingham World by May 1933, and the beautification focus began with gardens.[39] In June, Durr's editorial in the Birmingham World was echoed in the Birmingham News.[40] In July, Durr was still advancing the cleanup campaign in general,[41] and the gardening campaign.[42]

Durr joined whites and blacks in signing a petition over lynchings in early August in neighboring Tuscalooosa aimed specifically at the county Judge and Sheriff and staff and broader reforms to be sent to President Roosevelt, and sending a delegation to meet with the governor, while Durr played a roll not among the sides of the conflict of vested interests that carried on the rest of the year.[43]

By April 1934 Durr was editorializing at the Weekly Review, mentioned via other newspapers - at first the Atlanta Daily World,[44] though the Weekly Review collection available at Newspapers.com and other places dates only from 1940.[45] In October, the Durrs circulated socially in the area.[46]

By September 1935 Durr was in the The Chicago Defender coverage when he spoke to Dallas County teachers in Alabama.[47] In November, Durr was mentioned among speakers at the National Negro Achievement Week events held by the Omega Psi Phi association.[48] In December, Durr initiated a drive for Black businesses in Alabama (and this was covered in the New Pittsburgh Courier, another newspaper with a national reputation.)[49]

Durr was again a speaker for Emancipation Day in Birmingham.[66]

In May, Durr, as reverend of the AME Greater Mixon Tabernacle Church, suggested a plan of reforming the AME's initiative - consolidate all AME colleges into two, make one newspaper from the three they run, reduce the number of elders to circulate among four churches per quarter and have time to initiatives without taking on debt, kick out politicians and detach from lukewarm associations, and to stop being an employment agency for ministers to have their means provided and seek independent means.[67] Aside from coverage in the Defender, attention circulated other places too.[68]

In July, Durr lead the segregated Community Chest division,[69] and in August gave a talk for the dedication of the integrated workforce behind a employees cottage of the American Cast Iron and Pipe Co (ACIPCO).[70]

Durr editorial inc comments on Cox article, after eulogizing Washington Carver. (see p5) "I agree with Alice S. Cox of the Race Unity Committee of the National Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States and Canada who says: "We feel that the rapid course of events thoughout the world at the present time will weld and fuse the races of mankind. Common suffering, common service, common hopes, will bring us all together…." It is our feeling that even though some men are not able to keep pace with time, that certain things are ordained to happen at certain times and that no matter what we do those things will just happen and by and large because of the diversity of people in the United States we will in the long run be able to somehow stand the storm of life, because we will not only conceive of the importance of loving our brothers as ourselves, but that our survival depends on our ability to love our brothers more tha ourselves.…"[112]

I use the word MUST because the move toward that which is better can not be permenently arresteed. when the time comes for a change for the better to be made it is like the sun shining on a seed in the Spring 0 the seed must SPROUT or ROT.…” and then quotes from the Guardian: ""The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Baha'u'llah, implies the establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permenently united, and in which the autonomy of its state members and the personal freedom and initiative of the individuals that compose them are definitely and completely safeguarded.…"[121]

Durr writes of dropping race from names of organizations to avoid making a virtue a vice. He came upon this idea while hearing speakers in Philadelphia, Birmingham, and New Orleans which were “Negro speeches for Negroes” and then at the Freedom Day Celebration in Philadelphia which contrasted talks by elders, as above, vs youth that didn’t. He then the cause of “making ourselves finer human beings - not finer Negroes nor Caucasians” is the point.[209]

It is entirely a quote of O. O. Emmerich of The Enterprise-Journal of McComb MS. The writer takes on a variety of issues related to race and the South.[270]

Durr addresses the beginning of the decay of the separate-but-equal segregated educational system at the Supreme Court and that it is bad for whites as well as blacks as well as the actual positive benefits of being educated together and that that problems also exist in the training of teachers. Durr makes a passing remark of the unfortunate results of the segregated system that tends to raise atheists who then are a danger to the entire system of civilization.[271] Letter to the Editor of Chicago Defender reviews Feb 14 article of Durr’s, extracting points including some atheists have done better than religious leaders, a point not made in Durr’s letter.[272] The case being addressed by the Supreme Court was Sipuel v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma, from January 1948. This was followed two years later by in Sweatt v. Painter and was one of various cases seeking to end the unjust practice.

Durr’s column looks at land development covenants that force segregation and the revolution that would be though it extends to the banking industry and access to capital, but then gives an example of a successful development bank and then another. The prospects of a lot more bank business if the court rules in favor of access is mentioned.[279] The case being addressed by the Supreme Court was Shelley v. Kraemer from January into May 1948.

Durr addresses the Southern practices that deaden life, a kind of lynching of black humanity, while on the other hand a federal anti-lynching law is being worked on and being supported by a rejuvenated black church and that there is a broader South that supports such reforms. There are many “Souths” but, “And there is a great body of enlightened whites and blacks in the South who have lost their fear of benighted bigots and who without speech making are going forward to get done what ought be done, and at the same time, making preparation to live together as human beings and American when the day of racists aer over and we shall see emerging in the South a truly New South inhabited by a people - white and black - freed from the shackles of political gangsters, fear of things which don’t convince the world that progress can be made exist, and the spectacle of a region trying to by standing still or marching backward.” And he equates the Soviet threat to be equal to the racist threat. Then “Posited in the teachings of one Baha’u’llah of Persia who founded the Babai’s(sic) Faith about 104 years ago, one will find the answer to the problems which perplex mankind today."[280]

Durr addresses Britain and its racists systems leaving India to its independence. He then recognizes the UN and its Security Council being limited by its membership and vetoing and lack of police force. Then he observes the Palestinian question and the problem of exploitation, the generalized version of this being one that could plunge the world into the next world war, and the need for us to live with each other. “In the family, the nation(s-ed) of the world, there can be no just security unless unity can be established on the basis of all involved, yielding sufficient sovereignty for an over-all government which it is ever recognized that mankind is one, and that to deal with world problems otherwise makes for division, war and decay."[281]
