= review Of the 10 year planned
fight for the ballot in Birmingham
reveals that every device used to in
crease Negro suffrage has been re
strictive in nature and results
Nearly every organization of any
strength since 1882 has tried u
plan or another to make it so Negro
citizens could register to vote tTia
same as any other person with bas-
ically the same qualifications. Those
plans that have worked could MT
achieve the hope because OF inherit
limitations in all Of them
SIX OF those plans have been l)

past ~ years

sponsored by the Hearst news

with the form and genius of oul
government and our inspiring way
of life.
