State NAACP Board OF Directors
In Meeting Here State Policy

c. 1t is impossible to have equal
ity in segregated school system
for segregation itself is discrimi-
nation.
Therefore, a direct attack on
segregation, itself, on all levels of
education will continue to be made.
Education will be the principal
area of concentration during 1854.
EMPLOYMENT: The NAACP
believes that the right to secure
job for which one is qualified
without discrimination because of
race, creed, or national origin is a
fundamental right of every Amer

should be prohibited from denying

Meeting in a regular quarterly
session in Jackson, Mississippi on
Sunday, January 10, 1854, the
Board of Directors of the Missis-
sippi State Conference of NAACP
Branches reaffirmed the following
basic policies:
EDUCATION: The NAACP is
unalterably opposed to segrega-
ton. We maintain that segregation
in public education by a state vio-
lates the Fourteenth Amendment
of the United States Constitution
for several reasons, among which
are:
A. There is no legal or scien-
tific justification for such CLASH
fication by race by state govern
ments.
B. Experience demonstrates that
segregation laws have always re-
suited in discrimination against
Negroes and were never intended
to provide equal facilities.
