Dr. DuBois had advocated

Dr. DuBois led a group of
Negro and white intellectuals
whp formed the Niagara move
ment in 1909, a movement
which also culminated in the
formation of the NAACP.
After ttie NAACt' was or
ganized, he spent almost a quar
ter of a century as editor of its
publication, THE CRISIS, A bit
ter policy dispute in 1934 led
to his resignation. The NAACP
was advocating desegregation
everywhere, but DuBois advised
voluntary segregation in certain
ilelds as a means of “self de-
pendet^ce” and as an antidote to
white discrimination.
The only arrests made ’were of
four white persons, who refuseo
to obey police orders.
All of the march’s ten leaders—
A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins,
Martin Luther King, Walter Reu-
ther, James Farmer, Whitney
Young, Dr. Eugene Carson Blake.
John Lewis, Rabbi Joachim Prinz
and Matthew Ahipann, were unani
mous in their opinions that tnt«
march was successful beyond theu:
hopes.
The march had two sets of goalsi
1, to present to Congress a list of
demands which Negroes are seek
ing to accomplish throagh legis
lationV and 2, to awaken the con
science of the nation to the piigh*
of American Negroes through the
massive demonstration.
Although march leaders felt that
they might not have wop ajo^ more
voters for the civil rights legisla
tion now pending, they felt that
they did not lose avy by demoa
stration.
