Dudley Challenges Young People to
Finish Fight Against Segregation

WASHINGTON - The National
Youth Legislative Conference
sponsored by the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, was felicitated by
Vice President Richard Nixon at
the closing session of the four
day meeting. The conference, di-
rected by Herbert Wright, N A
A. c. p. youth secretary, was de-
voted to a discussion, study and
evaluation of current domestic
and international issues.
Following the vice presidents
greetings, Edward r. Dudley,
former United States Ambassador
to Liberia, and now special N A.
A, c, p. assistant in charge of
the Fight for Freedom Fund
drive, challenged the young men
and women of this generation to
play an active and aggressive
role in the fight to eliminate seq
regation.
In each era of progress since
the Emancipation Proclamation,
we have found the youth of the
nation accepting this challenge"
Mr.. Dudley said in an address
prepared for delivery today 1T
has been youth in the armed SER
vices and youth in the schools
who have been most vocal in ex-
pressing hostility to racial discri-
mination. This is as it should be
for they are the ones who will
be responsible for directing the
affairs of our world of tomorrow.
| know that you are prepared to
continue this tradition and will
fight until the last vestage of ra-
.ial discrimination and segrega .
ton is removed from American
life"
Mr.. Dudley traced the history
of the fight for freedom since the
issuance of the Emancipation
Proclamation, January /, 1858, as
the first positive act by the gov
eminent of the United States to
recognize the status OF the Negro
as being other than that OF q

he said, it became increasingly
evident that legally enforced
segregation based upon race was
the prime evil In group relations

said the Eisenhower administra-

the Negro business man an odd
ity or an object of special con-
federation with a special set OF

In commenting on the fact that

Negro market is theirs simply
because of race or inheritance.
He pointed out that in one
