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 if all Negro children are not jf >n the 'sme IpvpI. each child Should have a copy of Uia ' * NATHANIEL JOHNSON book! the Superintendent of to .furnish the Board the information that Rev. .had- at his disposal can Negro children ad¬ to a place of first class and persons with if they are deprived of good education,” Rev.
