Thing is, I've given some to Hollin bills friends to be distributed there, since I know Tauxemont -eople can share theirs; and from those I haven't yet heard. In and near Tauxemont I've given the copies to: — -Mrs. Eugene Vinogradoff, Arcturus, Route 1, Alexandria iAV*. Mrs. Williem Wallace, 20 Tauxemont Road, Alexandria — -Mr. Edmond Kanwit, 1 Shenandoah •l i oad, " ' ' Mr. ‘ -“ -'unnar Back, 8 Accotink Road, " Mr. Edward Behre, 2 Gahent Road, " I could easily give you a list of twenty or so who would be sympa­ thetic to the purposes of the Clearing House, but I doubt if I could extract a dollar from them— in addition, that is, to the HAACP membership which I annually hoin£ them up for. Do you want more names, just for a mailing list? When I hear from Hollin Hills, I'll send you more. I an; eager for that group to have representatives in the HAACP, and of course to know about and share the Clearing House information. Emily De Silverg., already on your list, is one of these. When can we be less busy? I th'nk maybe I'm through teaching (pre­ liminary to Pakistan, though Pakistan is no more a certainty for us now than it was months ago); but I may find mysel^ at it again come September. And now, of course, the rush till Juhe is upon us. But I do want to see something of you— I'll keep hunting for a time. Meantime, enjoy these spring days. Your family are well, T hope? And you, perking cheerfully and at not too busy a boil? Here's a copy of the letter I'm sending about Tauxemont this ye<i>, such as it is. if always calls for follow-up, but it does at least review the year (vaguely) for those who fail to keep track, and re­ ining them that I'll be after them aGain. With all good wishes. Yours cordially. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Report of Committee on Education for 7tn District. Now that the Supreme Oourtot' the land has outlawed segregation in education,recreation and interstate travel it is the opinion of this committee that individuals and groups can and must do those things that will encourage easy transition from the mored of a pass­ ing era to a future status of acceptance and good will between peo­ ple of varying races, and creeds To this end this committee has made the following intercultural or intergroup suggestions. 1. Collect and make available literature that may be heirful to understand the problems of integration and ways and means of making it effective. 2. Distribute this literature where it will do most good among white and colored groups. 3 Encourage officers and members of the NAACP to read and discuw issues with a view to better understanding of ways to help integration 4. We suggest that NAACP Branches try to encourage good will between peoples in this trying cericd. This suggests that now the law is on our side that we be tolerant of the efforts of others to adjust to e changing pattern of living, Both Negroes and whites must strive to meet the challenge. For one group the hatreds of the past must be forgotten and the timidity occasioned by years of denial must be overcome. For the other let us help them realize the benefits to be derived to their children and to the nation as a whole, 5. We suggest that Negro leaders seek to present the present ideas favoring integration and to dissipate fears. We must urge white citi­ zens and groups-religious,civic and educational to discuss with Negro leaders these problems, S, We recommend the formation of a brief appeal to ministers and church men and women urging them to implement the resolutions than have been adopted by the leading church groups in favor of a de­ segregated society. 7, We recommend that teachers and teacher groups be urged to engage in study groups and workshops to learn attitudes and practices suited to the.making of adjustments to meet the overall cnallenge 8, We recommend that PTAe assume the responsibility of interpretation of these problems to parents with a view of overcoming hostility to colored or white teachers and the mingling of both races in scnoo&s 9, n e recommend that the Seventh District send a coremittee to discuss l with State Senator FenwicKt and other members of the Governor's Committee to encourage liberal consideration of plans to de-segTegate 10 We seek other intercultural suggestions from members to add to these we hereby suggest Finally, if these suggestions meet with your approval the committee will draft in detail more specific plans and ways and means o f implementing these general suggestions 8igneb For the Committee E.

FERGUSON, Mortician 900 Page Street Sixteen Charlottesville, Virginia �'U oice a n d S i n g B y J a m es W eldon J ohnson Lift every voice and sing, 'Til earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound, loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song fuD of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on 'til victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, 'Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath thy hand may we forever stand. True to our God, true to our Native Land. �Compliments of THOMAS BROTHERS FURNITURE CO. “When In Richmond, Make This Your Furniture Headquarters” SECOND & MARSHALL STS. RICHMOND,VA.
