DR.. Jackson, according to Myrick

tate.
In his proclamation on the con-
vention uganda Mr.. Alexander
pointed out that the attainment
CT economic stability, improvement
of educational detectives and the
securing of equality under the
law were vital and farreaching
issues which needed the objective
thinking of all Negroes, especial
ly Shriners.
Pointing to observations made
during his tours across the nation
coupled with a study of census
reports the Imperial Potentate
said the greatest challenge of
our times is to see that additional
thousands of Negroes become regis
tered voters. He said this was
particularly urgent in the face
CT difficulties faced in many areas
by Negroes to secure full citizen
citizenship at the ballot box.
He emphasized additional reasons
included the denial of job OPP
portunities because of race and
wide spread discriminatory pare
tees in education, community SER
vices and travel. He estimated a
potentially eligible number of
Negroes for registration in the
United States to be between nine
and ten and half million.
"The registration of voters, even
today with the for thright posi-
ion of the U. S. Attorney General
and the Justice Department, is no
easy task. Our Mobiles must do
a door to door selling campaign
until the last person in the COM
munity has become a registered
voter" the Shrine leader declar-
ed.
Mr.. Alexander pointed out that
Shriners were concerned. He en-
phasised that while the Shriners
had devoted much attention to
health projects that an increasing
interest was being taken in citi-

Law is known to have spear
headed the campaign to withhold
business from white downtown
merchants in order to secure bet
ter treatment of Negro customers,
and to gain better employment OPP
portunity.
The campaign worked on both
scores. The Savannah merchants
came to an understanding on the
campaign last July 6, after Is
months of Negroes withholding
their business.
1t was Law and his followers also
who opened the way for the city to
desegregate it's main public library
and the municipal golf course.
