Prior 10 these years the NAACP
had for years been very active In
Minneapolis In combating dis
criminatory practices, but failed
TO realize the recognition u de-
served for It's efforts.
In retrospect, several reasons
can be cited for the improved

was established in 1850. A month

and problems encountered by the
