Working himself into somewhat
of frenzy, the enthusiastic fight
er declared that the Committee on
Negro Organization has helped to
pave the way for militant action
by any group directly engaged in
education among Negroes in Ark

in trying to provide graduate OPP
portunities for Negroes in Arkan-
sas. The fact that we failed
should give new life not only TO
those faithful followers of the C.
N. o. but to those who are in as

adequately stated to carry on eff
fectlye work.

pose of giving the educational lead
