The Greatest Mistake
Continued from Page One)

cusion that the NAACP movement from it's campaign of
equal educational opportunity for the Negro in the
South, into its campaign for public school ntegraon
and is the greatest mistake in the entire history of
, the struggles of the American Negro.
That the NAACP movement from it's campaigning
for equal educational opportunity for the Negro in the
South to the campaign for Indignation of southern pub
lie schools and is the worst mistake in the entire
history the struggles of the American Negro and that
result all of the gains made during the period from
1916 to 1854 have been wiped out be by read
ing two news reports printed elsewhere this page
One concerns young Negro doctor who has left the
state of Mississippi the other report by Ruby Hurley
of the NAACP on the tension and fears existing in
the South.
We would also call the attention of our readers to
reprint of article the National Emergency Civil
Rights Mobilization, sponsored by the NAACP in JAN
uary 1850 at which expressed views in regard to
the needs of the southern Negro which still hold and
have often expressed since that time.
The report also reveals the luke-warmness of the
other southern Negro leaders, with respect to the pro-
gram adopted by the NAACP at the National Emerg-
ency Civil Rights Mobilization.
few days ago, following a widely published report
of the financial disbursements of the State Sovereignty
Commission, were bitterly attacked by the newly
created Ministers Improvement Association of Mssis
spp and Medger Evers Mississippi Field Secretary for
the NAACP, because of money paid us by the State Sow
erignty Commission.
In the of Medgar Evers and his statements con-
corning we point to the fact that when the NAACP
entered uFan its campaign FOR immediate indignation of
the Schools its leaders announced that the organiza
way, especially who voiced any criticism oppos
ton to their program and methods.
In moving into the newly created Ministers organ-
cation from which launch his attack Medgar Evers
is simply carrying out the announced program of the
NAACP, with many of his statements in regard to
being only the evidence of the wish being father to the
thought Moreover at it's recent National meeting in
Detroit its leaders admitted the declining fortunes of
the NAACP ard using example is trying to
fghten and itimdae the other Negroes of the South
who luke warm at the National Emergency Civil
Rights Mobilization, who might by have grown
completely cold and the verge of speaking out and
expressing their opinion and convictions is the
right and habit of the editor of the Jackson Advocate
In regard to the action of the Ministers Improve
ment Association which by the presence of Medgar
Evers its secretary which brands it as an NAACP
'front.' in the state and destroys whatever usefulness it
might have had before it got started, point to
the fact that the National Negro Religious organiza
TONS have subty taken the Negro churches out of the
Negro struggle for the abolition of segregation.
All those rump organizations being formed by
M Eegro preachers in South abolish segregation
everywhere ese except in the Negro church, looks to
like effort to pull the wool the eyes
of the Negro and get easy money. than sincere
effort for Negro Civil Rights and frstclass citizenship
Finally just the National Negro Church organi-
cations have been able to take the Negro church out of
the struggle for the abolition of segregation what the
southern Negro needs, more than the NAACP, more
than the Ministers Improvement Associations, is the
leadership take the southern Negro schools out OF the
struggle for the abolition of segregation, the
principles of the National Negro Church organization,
so that new beginning can be made towards first
class citizenship and civil rights.
