explanation.
/ Washington is a border" town
between Virginia and Maryland.
According to the 1850 census. its
population of SO2,17S is 64.55 per
cent white and 1914 per cent nom
white. Its preponderantly white
suburbs bring the metropolitan
region population to 1,464,0S9,
which is 1854 per cent white and
2335 per cent non-white. Five
years ago the Presidents Commit
tee on Civil Rights condemned
racial discrimination in the city as
graphic illustration of fail
ure of democracy" A year later
December 10, 194S), the National
Committee on Segregation in the
Nations Capital issued a detailed
report which summed up the city's
racist patterns as a blot on our
| nation"
These exposures received wide
spread publicity and catalyzed
the whole civil-rights front. The
year 1949 saw considerable in
roads on the status quo of racism:
School buildings segregated dur
ing the day were made available
for after-hours use by integrated
groups.
Racial designations were re-
moved from the recreation plan
ming maps of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission;
| it's chairman who had defended
those designations was not reap
pointed when his term expired,
and a Negro architect was named
a member of the commission. The
District of Columbia Recreation
Board hastily promised to move
| toward the elimination of Segre-
CATION in it's public recreation fac
ilities. The official festivities of
the Presidents Inauguration were
on a wholly integrated basis.
In 1949 also the doors of several
places of public accommodation
which had previously excluded
colored people were quietly opened
to them. The establishment of the
non-segregated clubhouse of the
American Veterans Committee
further facilitated integrated civic
and social events for many groups.
The Department of the Interior
held fast to its non-segration pol
icy when that policy was protest
ed in its application to swimming
pools The white paroChial schools,
after several years of efforts by
Catholic interracial groups, began
to admit colored students. Racial
bars were abandoned in the rest
aurants of the Washington Ma
tional Airport and of the National
Geological Park. And the Depart
ment of Justice for the first time
vigorously and directly challenged
the myth of separate but equal
in historic briefs before the Su-
preme Court in three major cases
Additional gains have since been
made All the major universities
and colleges in the District except
George Washington University
now admit Negroes to professional
and graduate courses and to many
of the undergraduate courses. Ne
gro enrolment in the formerly
white paroChial schools has sub
stantially increased, and a num-
Der of hotels, restaurants, and
places Of public assembly have
ceased to exclude colored people
Racial discrimination in federal
employment has become consider

The Negro vote which Ike" al
most ignored on his trip down
south wooing the now Un-solid
South, is now being wooed by him
on the eastern seaboard and in
the populous states of New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania by the Republican
candidate.
Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic
standard bearer who observers
admit has the Negro vote sewed
up at this date because of his out
spoken advocacy Of civil rights in
the South, as well as the North
continues his way on a whistle
stop tour. Wherever Stevenson
goes he makes It a point to meet
leading Negro figures. Most pol

A very fine spirit of coopera-
ton, despite the opposition of
some, is existing in our church.
Each auxiliary strives to cooper
ate with each other with one
main objective in mind, to build
and maintain an outstanding
christian institution.
Our trustee board, under the
leadership of Mr.. Samuel STAFF
ford, has striven h.rd to add
beauty to the appearance of our
church, for which we are very
much appreciative. The treasurer
of this board is Mr.. Jas. Lee, who
keeps a very accurate account of
the finances raised and spent.
Our Sunday School, under the
very fine leadership of Mrs. Lu-
cile Baker as its superintendent,
is doing fine. Mrs. Baker has
given many nice programs this
year. We specially enjoyed the
Easter program she rendered,
which was followed by an Easter
egg hunt the following Monday
on Virginia Beach. One crate of
Easter eggs, all colors, punch and
hot fried fish added much to this
occasion - all for which we owe
thanks to Mrs. Lucille Baker, Mrs.
Mitchell Augustus and other Sum
day School officials.
The Stewardess boards, too are
doing their bit. They have rem
dered several very nice programs.
Mrs. Lee Cray, chairman of
Board No. /, celebrated her an
niversary a few Sundays ago, with
Mrs. Anne Coleman, one of our
most prominent civic workers as
guest speaker. Mrs. Iona Cook
served as mistres of ceremonies.
Our Ushers Boards are second
to none the best in the city.
They work Whole-heartedly to-
gether very successfully. They are
an asset to our church. Monday,
May 26, the Usher Board No. /,
with Mr.. Jessie Andrews as their
president, entertained Usher
Board No. 2, with a turkey din
ner and all of its trimmings -
very sumptuous affair, enjoyed
and appreciated by all.
For years our Allen Christian
Endeavor League has failed. To-
day we have one of the best
leagues in the district. This aux
iliary has for its president, Mrs.
May Willie Cooper, for its trea-
surer, Mrs Maydelle Braynon,
and Miss Barbara Gray as Secre-
tsry. Under the leadership of
these very fine officers with the
cooperation of the members as
whole, we are succeeding.
Miss Gloria Braynon is the sec
retary of our Sunday School and
represents the church in many
capacities, always doing a very
efficient job.
Mrs. Mollie Parhams, president
O.. our Missionary Society, under
the fine supervision of Mrs. Mae
Jackson, our pastors wife, is do
ing very nice job. Her Baby
Contest was a huge success.
Hear our choirsi We think they
are also doing a good job.
Come and visit us. We welcome
you. Meet our friendly, efficient
pastor and our courteous officers.
