Fisk Univ. Reaffirms Policy
Of Non-Discrimination and
NASHVILLE. Venn.—Fisk Uni¬
versity wa.f chartered as an insti¬
tution dedicated to the education
of youth regardless of race, color
or creed. It has historically op¬
posed any and all forms of dis¬
crimination and segregation. We
the faulty of Fisk University re¬
affirm unequivocally this univer¬
sity policy.
We support the efforts of all nor
sons who ate working peacefully
and non-violently in Nashville and
other communities to remove the
injustice of exclusion, discrimina¬
tion and segregation. In particular
we support the students who have
participated in recent non-violent
sit-in demonstrations at lunch
counters in Nashville. We support
Fisk University President Steph¬
en J. Wright in his
statement of February 29th that
students have the right to oppose
exclusion and segregation as
as they do it non-violently
with dignity and poise.
We approve the right of
and students to membership
any organization seeking by con¬
stitutional means of the
tion. We deplore any
community which through the
Ihreat or use of suspension or
pulsion restricts the civil rights
W students who are protesting in
peaceful ways against racial dis¬
crimination. We call upon state

ta Negro college student filed a
suit in U. S. District Court last
week attacking segregated seating

plaint named Mayor William B.
Hartsfield and Chief Judge Luke
Arnold as defendants.
Clarence H. Seniors, 22, a junior

as his own attorney. Seniors was
one of 83 Negroes arrested in sit-
down demonstration here March 15.
He said he was a mem bet of the
Committee on Racial Equality
(CORE), but that the suit was
being filed by himself as an. indi¬
vidual. ‘ ■,

We are appalled by the attempt
on the life of Mr. and Mrs. Z. Alex¬
ander Looby through the dynamit-

ering of the lives of neighbors in
i the community including those in
Hubba’d Hospital and Meharry

faculty colleague, and a local and
j national leader in the effort to ob¬
tain justice and full human rights
for all, has spearheaded the legal
defense for students in Nashville

tion.
We urge all citizens of Nashville
to re-examine, the cherished docu¬
ments of our American heritage
j such as the Declaration of Inde¬
pendence and the Bill of Rights
of our Constitution to see if our
; present practices live up to the
| letter and the spirit of these docu¬
ments. May we in Nashville elim¬
inate from our city discrimination
and segregation on the basis of
race, creed, or color and thus help
to give our nation leadership in
the world-wide stirring toward
freedom and justice for all.

courtroom on the basis of racial

According to the compTaTnt, such
practices are “clear violations of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the
U. S. Constitution .’J
The suit asks the District Court
to o>der “the defendants, their as¬
signs, agents, employes, be enjoin¬
ed from continuing to enforce any
form of racial segregation in and
about the courtroom from denying
citizens who are Negroes the same
access to all facilities as is afford¬
ed to non-Negro persons.”
