To Segregation

of Colored People adopted the follow
ing resolution ON segregation:
"The National Association for
the Advancement Of Colored People
ii opposed both to the principle and
the practice of enforced segregation
of human beings on the basis Of race
and color.
Enforced segregation by it's very
existence carries with it the imqli-
cation of a superior and inferior
group and invariably results in the
imposition of a lower status on the
deemed inferior. Thus both principle
and practice necessitates unyielding
opposition to any and every form Of
enforced segregation"
