1ST BRYAN CHURCH TO DEDICATE FIRST
UNIT OF EDUCATIONAL BUILDING SUNDAY
(Top) First unit of the new educational building of First
Bryan Baptist Church which has just been completed and will
supplant the old building (bottom) which has served the church
many years.
First Bryan Baptist
will dedicate the first unit of
its educational building Sunday
afternoon at 5:00 o’clock.
The new bulding has beautiful a large
auditorium with a
stage and four large rooms.
There is a well equipped kitch¬
en and a dressing room with a
ladles’ powder room. A new
system has been installed for
heating and cooling.
This accomplishment was
made possbile by the leadership
of the church’s youngest pastor,
Rev. R. M. Williams, who has
the ability of great leadership,

be in serious trouble.”
The Clarks rented the apart
ment from Charles Edwards,
manager of the building, which
has 18 units. There are no Ne¬
groes living in Cicero or the ad¬
joining suburb of Berwyn.
When the family sought to
move in they were halted by
Cicero policemen and at the
instigation of the police chief
were kicked, beaten and threat¬
ened with loss of life if they
attempted to return. In retalia¬
tion they filed a $200,000 dam¬
age suit against the town.
Representing the Clarks was
Atty. George N. Leighton who
told the court that Cicero had
thorwn a police cordon around
the building “solely because
they do not want Negroes to
move in.” The defense argued,
however, that all accusations
had been denied by town offi-

The judge intervened and
gave the defense a piece of his
