9. w. Granger Subject
Of BoYeeViIIe. Wise.
Newspaper Feature

An interesting feature story of
the family of Gordon w. Granger,
1924 Fourth Av. S. appeared in
the Press-Reporter of Boyceville,
Wis, written by Bill Clark, feature
news correspondent of the paper
The village of Boyceville is max
ing preparations for its Centennial
Celebration to be held in 1860 and
the parents of Mr.. Granger were
among the early settlers. The story
relates that just after the close of
the civil war a Captain, J. w.
Granger came into the area of
Boyceville bringing with him a
young colored lad by the name of
Amos. The boy later took the
captains last name as his own and
was known by the early settlers
as Amos Granger.
Amos, father of Gordon Granger,
was treated by the captain and
his family as one of its members.
The story tells about the Captain
and family entertaining a southern
visitor and when the visitor was
called to lunch and found the col
ored boy sitting at the table with
the family, said she would not eat
at the table with him to which the
good captain replied, Hes eating
with U.S." The visitor promptly left
the table, but seeing that the cap
tain meant what he said, she ap-
peared at the evening meal.
In 1874 Amos Granger met and
Rosetta Basette of Rich
mond, Va. They had four children,
Alma Victoria, the oldest, was
born in 1875; Winnie May was born
in 1877; Gordon W., the only son,
was born February 2, 1888, and
Rose Ella, the last child died in
infancy.
Amos died in the spring Of 1891
and the following year the family
to Eau Claire, Wis, where
they resided until 1894, when they
removed to Minneapolis. Mrs.
Granger died March 6, 1916 and
Winnie May Is now deceased, leav-
ing Gordon as the only living MEM
Der Of the family.
Also in the Wisconsin news
story is a picture of the orig
inal home where all the children
were born which Is still occupied:
the picture Of the school on X
street named after the family and
is still known as the Granger
School; also a family group of
Amos, Rosetta and their four chill
dren and a picture Of Mr.. Gordon
Granger sitting on his front porch.
Mr.. Clark, news correspondent
Of the Press-Reporter, after locat-
ing Mr.. Granger came to his home
with a photographer and inter
viewed him and took several pic
lures of the couple which will be
on exhibition during the Centennial
celebration at which the Changers
will be special guests.

Murray the well known singer

daughter Mary is a delegate.
Most Of the Minnesota delegates
are housed at the Park-Sheraton

The Minnesota delegation is
happy that Minnesota's Senator
Hubert H. Humphrey will be or

Humphrey will address the con
vention's plenary workshop SEES
sion: Politics and Civil Rights,
considered to be the most import
ant workshop during the conven'
ton because civil rights is the
INAACP's main business.
Many NAACP workers have fol-
lowed the career Of Humphrey
since his famous speech before the
1913 Democratic convention which
some consider was the beginning
of the first concerted political
drive for political action on civil
rights.

Called Radical

At the time of organization
chairman Tobias said, so wide
spread was the apathy toward the
plight of the Negro, and such was
the climate of opinion that many
well-meaning Americans looked
upon these minimum demands as
radical and saw in this interracial
effort to secure justice for the Ne
gro a revolutionary movement"
Actually Mr.. Tobias said the
movement was conservative in
that its primary purpose was and
still remains, the preservation of
the country's most cherished ideals
and values as embodied in the
Constitution Of the United States.
From the outset, the keynotes
stated the NAACP recognized
that its detectives could be sec
ured only through orderly, dem
ocratic processes and, second, that
equality was unattainable within
the framework of racial segrega-
ton"
Tobias said in view Of progress
made towards full citizenship for
Negroes there is ample ground
for optimism" for the goal is in
sight.
The NAACP has enjoyed the
support of the Negro church and
the Negro Press, Mr.. Tobias said.
Negro citizens are increasingly
insistent and militant in their de-
mands for equal rights" the speak
er said land we have had a vast
body of white citizens likewise
committed to this goal and we
have the good fortune to live in
a country and under a system
which affords an opportunity for
an organization such as the NAA-
CP to function and thrive"

Work Of NAAcP.
Leaders At Confdb

New York City.-Senator HUI
bert H. Humphrey Of Minnesota,
in his July 18th address to the
50th Anniversary convention Of the
NAACP, praised the work Of the
NAACP saying. Your organiza-
ton daily teaches all Of us what
can be accomplished in a demo-
cratic society when men and wom-
en- who care deeply about a moral
ideal such as human equality band
together to make that ideal a
reality.
"As we mark the 50th anniver-
sary Of the NAACP at this great
convention, let us here and now
rededicate ourselves to the job Of
eliminating second-class citizen
ship in the United States and let
us gather strength from the ad-
Vances Of the past fifty years for
the enormous tasks that stil lay
ahead"
The Minnesota senator cited
three NAACP leaders well known
to this area saying, Your Walter
White taught me that the moral
principle Of human equality lies
at the heart Of the democratic
idea. Your Clarence Mitchell taught
me that II one believes in human
equality strongly enough and
works for It with all the force at
his command, this great moral
principle must one day triumph"
