RESOLUTIONS OF BOARD
The board of directors passed
the following resolutions at the
meeting.
THE NEGRO PRESS
For many years the Negro press
has given consistent support to
the program and detectives of the
National Association for the Adj
vancement Of Colored People and
has been the most effective medium
through which our activities and
achievement have been communi-
Gated to the people. This support
has contributed substantially to the
growth and prestige of the
NAACP.
The recent action by the Nation
al Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton pledging editorial support and
advertising space to our efforts
to raise funds for all activities -
legal, legislative and educational
in connection with the fight to
outlaw segregated schools is furth-
er indication of the vital role of
the Negro press in the fight for
freedom.
In recognition and appreciation
of the invaluable contributions
made by the Negro press to our
fight, the board of directors of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People,
meeting in St. Louis at the Ascot
atoms 44th annual convention,
expressed its thanks and the hope
that our joint actions will hasten
the day Of triumph.
Courier ZEE" Campaign

the United States Supreme Court
in odering a re-argument OF the
cases against segregated schools
which will require huge sums OF
money for research and prepare
ton, The Pittsburgh Courier has
launched a Double-E program
| Educational Equality for the
purpose of mobilizing public senti-
ment and throwing the paper open
for donations from it's millions OF
readers. The Courier proposes to
have Double-E buttons and en-
blems and to establish various
groups within the scope of its OPP
Grafton all over the country to work
for this most worthwhile cause.
This campaign will build up finan-
cial and moral support for our con-
tinued fight for first-class citizen
ship.

and endorses the Courier's Double

contribution to the Association S
Fighting Fund for Freedom cam
paign.
NOn-Integrated Colleges

domination of the establishment of
non-integrated colleges or other
institutions as a backward step
