Next an adult group was or¬
ganized to aid youth. Command¬
er Frank Spencer, white, called
the Negro citizens together. The
supposedly leading citizens of Sa¬
vannah who met with him, or¬
ganized themselves along with the
youth into an organization call¬
ed "The Negro Council of Y’outh
and Adults.” The adults (ihe
same as at the Community House)
started off quarrelling and when
Commander Spencer stopped com¬
ing to the meetings so did the
most of them. 1
Next, Rev. A. C. Curlright, who
was not at the meeting in the
Community House, sought to heip
the committee. He organized an
Adult Advisory Group for the Y.

call their Committee—“Youth
