Desegregotion Concern Of
Florida Teachers, Parents

MIAMI, Fla. (CNS)-A step in
the right direction was taken by
the Florida Congress OF Parents
and Teachers when they voted to
participate in cooperative plan
ming for degeneration of schools
In a floor debate which ran
for 20 minutes. many speakers
favored indignation though some
expressed their disfsvor.
The action came on this mo-
ton: Florida must begin coop
erative planning at once both at
the state and local level and in
all communities TO solve the
problems Of desegregation."
Backing the move completely
was DR.. c. Broward Culpepper OF
Tallahassee, vice-president OF Flo
rida Congress OF PTA and said
that since the Supreme Court had
ruled on the subject, group lead
ers in education felt there was an
obligation TO do something con-
structive about IL.

Equality for All

ANN Acknowledging thai
the Negro press intends TO work
for freedom and equality OF op'
portunity for all men, W. Beverly
Carter, publisher Of the Pitts
burgh Courier was guest speaker
at the University OF Michigan
lecture series last week.
He also pointed out that the
Negro press was founded l2e
years ago with the express pur.
pose of serving as an organ OF
protest for a downtrodden and
oppressed people.
Carter said: The Negro press
believes America can best lead
the world away from racial and
national antagonisms when II
accords to every man, regardless
OF race. color or creed, his human
and equal rights.
"Hating no man, fesfiSS no
man, the Negro press strives TO
help every man in the firm belief
that all are hurt as lons as any
one Is held back"
