NAACP-CORE Call
Boycott In Durham
Annual Holy Land Contest
€tm^d
j^*THETRurwlj!HBwi5EQ^
The Durham Youth NAACP and
CORE have staked ovi a group of
downtown Durham stores as boy-
>:ott targets in a campaign for
broader employment opportuni'ie,s
here.
Announcement oi the action
was made this week by spokesman
for the two groups.
It was staled i.iat pickets would
be set up in front of .selected
stores beginning Friday and that
a campaign Aould be launched
asking that Negroes boycott the
stores.
Isaac Reynolds, of CORE, said
this period was selected for the
action because it is the season
in which stores launch Easter
buying campaigns.
The statement announcing the
campaign said the stores in the
group against which the action is
being taken had;
1. Refused lo hire Negroes in
capacities other than menial, such
as janitors, maids etc.
2. Adopted a policy of putting
maids behind counters as “sales
clerks” while maintaing them in
the work and salary status of
maids; and
3. Refused to eliminate segre
gation policies in treatment of
customers.

condemned tiie proposal as "un- i

Later in the week, the Rev.

Williams, a former Governor of

ment.
Sanford who.se tenure as gov
ernor of North Carolina has been
marked by an emphasis on edu
cation, keyed his speech ot ar.
oft-repeated theme of his adminis
tration. He .stressed the necessity
of training Negro youth to the
fullest of their capacities so that
they could contribute to the de
velopment of themselves and the
state.
The Governor inferred that re
strictions placed on Negroes be
cause of prejudice and .segrega
tion had prevented them froir
developing their skills and hai
discouraged m’iny from trying ii'
develop.
However, he said these prob
lems must b'! overcome if th
state and the race arc to move
forward.
He expressed optimism that
these obstacles will soon be re
moved and pointed’ out that many
have already been moved.
He- referred lo the recently es
tablished “Good Neighbor Coun

lief that Negroes will be ablR.to
