HOMORARY TRUSTEES CoMIEFP JUBTICE EARL WARREN - 4 HOM. ADAM CLAYTON POWELL . ELEAMOR ROGKEVELT : Fer Release All Services Jaa. 10, 1957 an aged resident of Staunton. John T. Wine, told the story of a little girl who went to school with him in that shanty. She was the daughter of a white abolitionist, Simon Stover, who married a ‘negro gitl, Elizabeth Juda, who had been adopted by the Link family. i Simon Stover resolved that his daughter should go to school with the white children. But when little Lizzie Stover came into that schoolhouse, she was met with jeers and derision from the white pupils, the same ordeal that the colored children of Clinton aré enduring today. After her parents disappeared. Lizzie Stover went to the Midwest and married a white maa. Ia resolve, on page 91; “Ida had two ambitions now — the first to be a good wife and mother, the second to advance world brotherhood, She was euger to wipe out racial prejudices, to raise the Negro to the status of equal citizenship."”’ Of all her children, ida Lizzie Eisenhower found her son David the most receptive to her ideas. David never forgot his mother’s humiliation. When he led the American armies to victory over the white supremacists of Gern.ans, and when he forced the white supremacists of the Southern States tg their knees, the champion of the colored world must have thought, “I am avenging the insult to my mother,’” . On a side-road near Staunton, Va. stands an old shanty, and thereby hangs a tale. Years ago, ; The purpose of the Lizzie Stover College Fund is to establish a college for all races, cotors, and creeds on the site of that o'd schoolhouse near Staunton, Va. Thus a bastion of democracy will rise on the scene of a little werl’s tragedy, a little girl who cust have lain awake at night, her pillow wet with tears, never dreating that she would becot-e vie mother of a President who would avenge the wrongs done tu her peopie.
