duced by Dr. Joseph H. Taylor,
chairman of the Forum Committee.
The NAACP attorney said the
significance of other civil rights
groups entering the struggle means
that the nation ae a whole will dis
cover that “more people are willing
to realise that the struggle involves
ever- one.”
“They know", she continued,
"that all such groups have a single
goal—the elimination of segrega

She contrasted public opposition
to “sit-ins" dating back to 1869 with
the success of today’s efforts. “At

has come to realize that Negroes
have rights that must be respected.
Seeing the NAACP taking civil
rights cases to court and winning
them has made a great difference
in the public’s attitude toward pro
