Negro voters in the pivotal north

shameless methods through which
hundreds Of thousands OF Negro
citizens are prevented from regis

acts Of violence and intimidation
against Negroes in the South, and
charged southern politicians with
slandering Negroes and blocking
civil rights Legislation.
Negro citizens, the NAACP
leader said, cannot be blamed as

the right to vote Is ruthlessly dem
