NAACP CITES RECORD OF EX-
PRESIDENT HARRY
WILKINS ISSUES
STATEMENT ON
FORMER CHIEF
NEW YORK - Roy Wilkins
executive director of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People
on Tuesday, Dec. 26, issued
the following statement on the
record and contributions of
former President Harry S. Tru
man who died earlier that day.
For a President of the Uni
ted States to act directly in
behalf of black Americans takes
a courage that few men in
political life possess. Harry S.
Truman had it and did not fear
to exercise it. The 1947 report
"To Secure These Righto," by
a commission named by Presi
dent Truman, contained for the
first time a flat statement,
"Segregation based on race, co
lor, creed or national origin
must be eliminated from Ameri
can life" -- not only from
schools or housing or employ
ment, but from the whole of
American life.
Mr. Truman's Executive Or
der of July 26, 1948, which
in effect was the first move by
a Commander-in-Chief to de-
segregate the armed services
was made at the outset, not
the end of the campaign for the
Presidency. The Truman ac
tion came after he had been
nominated by a Democratic

minority. Abraham Lincoln,
born in Kentucky, emancipated
the slaves. Harry S. Truman,
born in Missuri, desegregated
the armed services. Lyndon B.
Johnson, born in Texas, work
ed and fought for the enact
ment of an omnibus civil rights
law and one, also, that made
voting a reality for voteless
blacks.
The man from Missouri used
the Presidency to further his
country's ideal in the highly
emotional and controversial
area of human relations.
