NEWS OF THE NAACP
BY RUTH PERRY

l am sorry I could not write
this column last week, but due to
the pressure Of events, it was
impossible. I believe all Of us are
glad the week of February 25th
is past. Speaking very frankly, I
have found out by personal ex-
perience that it is not an easy
thing to appear in public and de-
fend ones beliefs in an atznos-
phere of tenSeness and strain
Even though / arm convinced that
my feelings and motives are right
and that the cause am fighting
for is a just and right cause, 1t
etill was not easy to do.
Monday, Feb. Is was a day I
will never forget. The initial at
moSphere surrounding the hear
ing could almost be felt physical
ly, as could the obvious hope OF
some people that something adj
verse and detrimental to the
NAACP would be found out In
the testimony of the witnesses.
This situation was aggravated, I
think, by the realization OF the
waste Of the Florida taxpayers
money in being used for such a
purpose, and against an organiza-
ton like the NAACP. It was O
terrible thing to realize that we
were being investigated simply
because we are in an organiza-
ton devoted wholeheartedly to
nothing more nor less than try
ing to obtain full civil rights and
first class citizenship for Negroes
and other minority groups.
1t was a most difficult thing to
testify before a committee. Of this
kind. But I also discovered some
other very important facts. I found
out very definitely what oneness
Of purpose, courage and determi-
nation could do in times Of stress.
And 1t was these things that made
it possible for all of US to do what
we had to do.
1t is an ordeal to sit around all
day with other witnesses, not
knowing when your turn will
come. But it is a heart-Warming
experience to realize the courage
and determination of the people
sitting in the room, and waiting
with you. I didn't see an express
sion Of fear ON the face OF any
one that Monday. I didn't hear
a word spoken that day that would
indicate at all anything other than
a determination TO speak the
truth and so to defend our just
cause.
very definitely felt that day
that I was sharing in a spiritual
experience. It was obvious that
all of us there in the NAACP
were bound together by a feel
ing of brotherhood and human
sympathy. For this reason, I am
more than ever strongly convinc-
ed that the aims and purposes of
the NAACP will be attained soon.
The conviction that remains with
me. from that difficult experience
is that we will continue our fight
for first class citizenship with
greater determination and cour-
age than ever before.
A note Of encouragement is the
letter to Miami Mayor Randall
N. Christmas, written last Sat
urday by Miss Alice MacVicar
Dade County Council on Human
Relations Chairman, asking to
appoint a committee Of stronc
community leaders to head of
racial violence. Many favorable
comments on the establishment
