NEGRO LAW OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

CHAPTER I.

The Status of the Negro, his Rights and Disabilities.

Sec. 4. The term negro is confined to slave Africans, (the ancient Berbers) and their descendants. It does not embrace the free inhabitants of Africa, such as the Egyptians, Moors

...

1871 North Carolina Joint Senate and House Committee as they interviewed Robeson County Judge Giles Leitch about the 'free persons of color' living within his county:

Senate: Half of the colored population?


Leitch: Yes Sir; half of the colored population of Robeson County were never slaves at all…


By the latter-half of the sixteenth century the English were referring to the people of Africa as Ethiopians, Blackamoors, Negroes, and Moors, somewhat interchangeably. "Negro" gradually came to be the dominant term, especially after exhaustive contact with the Spanish and the Portuguese. What is not clear is the extent to which the term "negro" was consciously translated as "black." The automatic association of "negro" with "black" color cannot be assumed since may "Black" Africans are actually of medium or dark brown color. In any case, another association gradually arose, and that was between "negro" and "slave." Early legislation commonly referred to "negro and other slaves" or to "negro, mulatto, and Indian slaves." Over the years "negro" and "black" both became synonymous with enslavement.

Organizations, such as charities, seeking Federal tax exemption are required to file an application with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Other organizations, such as social welfare organizations, may file an application but are not required to do so.  - https://www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2013reports/201310053fr.html#background

The IRS defines a social welfare organization as: [A]n organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare of the community.  - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopici03.pdf

RISE OF THE MOORS is a civic organization and is therefore tax-exempt.  In Erie Endowment v. United States, 316 F.2d 151, 156 (2d Cir. 1963), the court, in defining a civic organization, summed up the matter by stating that "the organization must be a community movement designed to accomplish community ends."

While some activities promote social welfare only if the community as a whole is the recipient of services, a membership organization is not automatically precluded from exempt status. In the exceptional case, an organization whose services are made available solely to its members may qualify. In such cases, it must be clearly established that making the service available to the membership benefits the community as a whole. Social welfare organization may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity. 

Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 (1943).

The mere fact that the religious literature is "sold", rather than "donated" does not transform the activities of the colporteur into a commercial enterprise.

A State may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Federal Constitution.

A community may not suppress, or the State tax, the dissemination of views because they are unpopular, annoying, or distasteful.

But the mere fact that the religious literature is "sold" by itinerant preachers, rather than "donated," does not transform evangelism into a commercial enterprise. If it did, then the passing of the collection plate in church would make the church service a commercial project. The constitutional rights of those spreading their religious beliefs through the spoken and printed word are not to be gauged by standards governing retailers or wholesalers of books. The right to use the press for expressing one's views is not to be measured by the protection afforded commercial handbills. It should be remembered that the pamphlets of Thomas Paine were not distributed free of charge. It is plain that a religious organization needs funds to remain a going concern. But an itinerant evangelist, however misguided or intolerant he may be, does not become a mere book agent by selling the Bible or religious tracts to help defray his expenses or to sustain him. Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion are available to all, not merely to those who can pay their own way. As we have said, the problem of drawing the line between a purely commercial activity and a religious one will, at times, be difficult. On this record, it plainly cannot be said that petitioners were engaged in a commercial, rather than a religious, venture. It is a distortion of the facts of record to describe their activities as the occupation of selling books and pamphlets. And the Pennsylvania court did not rest the judgments of conviction on that basis, though it did find that petitioners "sold" the literature. The Supreme Court of Iowa, in State v. Mead, 230 Iowa 1217, 300 N.W. 523, 524, described the selling activities of members of this same sect as "merely incidental and collateral" to their "main object, which was to preach and publicize the doctrines of their order." And see State v. Meredith, 197 S.C. 351, 15 S.E.2d 678; People v. Barber, 289 N.Y. 378, 385-386, 46 N.E.2d 329. That accurately summarizes the present record.

Those who can tax the exercise of this religious practice can make its exercise so costly as to deprive it of the resources necessary for its maintenance. Those who can tax the privilege of engaging in this form of missionary evangelism can close its doors to all those who do not have a full purse. Spreading religious beliefs in this ancient and honorable manner would thus be denied the needy. Those who can deprive religious groups of their colporteurs can take from them a part of the vital power of the press which has survived from the Reformation.
