2.‘Ini NAACP Mass Meclin
Hears ‘Wade-Ins’, ‘Kneel-In
The twenty-third NAACP;
Mass meeting was held at the
Asbury Methodist Church, Aug.
21, at 4 p. in.
The meeting began with a
solemn procession of the ‘ Wade-
ins” and the “Kneel-ins” into
the church singing “We Will
Overcome.” The Rev. W. N.
Robinson, pastor of the Bolton
Street Baptist Church, gave the
invocation followed by a solo,
Malotte’s “The Lord’s Prayer,"
sung by Jesse Kearse, Jr. The
huge throng then sang the Ne¬
gro spiritual, “Wade in The
Water.”
I The Rev. Curtis J. Jackson,
‘minister of the First A. B.
Church and chairman of the
Education Committee, reported
on his appearance before the
Board of Education on Tuesday,
August 16. Thirty-two Negro
parents have petitioned the
Chatham County School Board
for integration of the schools.
There are no RGTC Units in
the Negro schools, and there
are no Negro High Schools ac¬
credited in Chatham County.
At the Tuesday meeting, Rev.
Jackson said he approached
the Board regarding “how long
will it be before School integra¬
tion will take place.” The
Board contended that they have!
been busy with the retirement;
program. Rev. Jackson indi-;
rated that the textbook com¬
mittee of the Board had dis¬
criminated against the Negro j
children by providing books for
white children, while at, the
same time, Negro teachers
would receive books and the
Negro children failed to receive
books.
In one instance, Negro chil¬
dren in one class received only
five books. The Superintend¬
ent spoke for the Board and
said “that all of the children
are not on the same level.”
Frv. Jackson stated that “even
