| NAACP Approval,
Support, Participation
Reverend Martin Luther King,
Rosa Parks, Tharies C. Gomillion,
Reverend David Brooks, Allen Mc-
Swain, Conrad Browne and others
who attended this session at High-
lander Folk School provided major
leadership in the following inci-
dents of interracial strife: (1) the
Montgomery Bus Boycott; (2) the
Tuskegee Boycott; (3) the Talla-
hassee Bus Boycott: (4) the Clin-
ton School] Incident; (5) Kononia
Farms Inter-racial Violence and
the March on Washington.
Each of the above-listed persons
and incidents has received the na-
tional acclaim and complete sup-
port of the National Association
for Advancement of Colored Peo-
ple. In fact, these incidents and the
operation of these individuals have
provided a major portion of the
active program of the NAACP,
Those who conducted thin Labor
Day seasion at Highlander inter-
spersed their lectures and discus-
sions with appeals to those present
to secure new memberships for the
NAACP and especially urged that
teachers join and support the
NAACP.
The unqualified support by the
NAACP of the above-named indi-
viduals and incidents must be view-
ed in light of the fact that ten of
the directors including Benjamin
E. Mays, President, Morehouse
College, Atlanta, Georgia, have
amassed the surprising total of
over 400 instances mist
400 instances of Communist
Front Affiliation; more than half
the directors have public records
of Communist Affiliation, The di-
rectors of the NAACP both pres-
ent and past have continually dem-
onstrated an amazing propensity
for affiliating themselves with
pro-Communist causes.
The Honorary Chairman of the
Directors of the NAACP, W. E. B.
DuBois has amassed a longer pub-
lic record of Communist affilia-
tions than any other person in the
United States with the staggering
total of literally hundreds of such
