ADDRESS OF ROY WILKINS
tAetins NAAcP Secretary, at Boston Meeting

/ want to talk with you for
just few minutes about civil
rights legislation and about the
conference to be held in Wash
ington Jan. 1917 whose purpose
is to emphasize to our represen-
tatives the desire of the people
for enactment of this legislation
III the second session of the 81st
Congress.
It is now more than two years
since the Presidents Committee
on Civil Rights made its famous
report entitled ITO Secure These
Rights" In that document the
ideals of America, as embodied
in our Constitution and Bill of
Rights, were set against our prac-
tices. We were found to be sadly
wanting, and the committee made
definite recommendations for cor
recting conditions.
On Feb. 2, 1948 the President
sent to the Congress a message
requesting the enactment of
legislation on ten points in the
civil rights program. All of you
recall, I am sure, the furore
aroused by that action. Then
and there, although not formally
named, the Dixiecrat party was
born. That summer occurred the
dramatic fight in the platform
committee at Philadelphia and
civil rights became a major issue
in the presidential election cam
paign. Some Of the states walked
out of the convention and form
ally organized the Dixiecrats.
Meanwhile the Republicans ahd
endorsed civil rights proposals in
their platform and the represen-
tatives of that party in the Con-
gress were busy proclaiming their
desire to do something to enact
legislation. Civil rights, then,
became bipartisan issue. Both
mejor political parties, through
their party platforms and their
spokesman, were committed to
act.
But there has been little or nc
action. In the Both Republican
Congress and in the 81st Demo
cratic one, civil rights bills
have been buried in committee
passed over, stalled in one man
ner or another, or else pushed
along a little way and ther
dropped. When it became ap
parent last summer that Con
gress was not going to act o.
this legislation, the 40th annua
