Executive SecretarY


Twenty-seven years ago the Ur-
ban League began operations In
the Mil City. This was. in a sense,
the beginning Of q new era in the
field Of race relations for this Sec
ton Of the country. Although many
men and organizations had been
concerned with the welfare Of
minority peoples for years pre-
vious, the founding Of the League
was an important milestone. II
ushered in a period Of organized,
professional activity and began
laying the groundwork for other
groups with parallel interests.
II was no easy task nearly three
decades ago to speak out for and
plan constructive community pro-
grams designed to eradicate the
economic effects of race discrlm-
ination. Such a job was even more
difficult during the period Of the
Great Depression when men were
competing sharply for a means to
q livelihood.

year 1858 enjoying the benefits

achieve such results, he deserves

Amahl Is an intense emotional
experience. as are all of Mr..
Menotti's music dramas. Here
he has opposed adult human

results is, as powerful as the
