Marshall also plans to work more closely with church organizations, noting that "the church is just as important to our organization now as it was when the NAACP was started." He says he sees the church as the cornerstone of the NAACP's success. "In years past -- at least the last two or three s decades - civil rights organizations like the NAACP-have-not-been^u involved-with the church as they should have been," Marshall said. "The church is the basis of black progress. We have to involve the church more in our programs." Marshall, who worked with Hairston for many years in the NAACP, said?he anticipates a smooth transition from one administration to the next. William Tatum, the new vice president, agrees.

"You can't easily replace a man of Pat's stature, but we're getting a man just as dedicated and capable. Mr. Marshall is equally as capable as Mr. Hairston and 1 plan to be very supportive in order to make the NAACP more viable and more visible." At the Jan. 12 NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner, Hairston's resignation becomes effective and the lorch-of the local organization's presidency will of-^B ficially be passed to Marshall. Marshall said he is not so much concerned about duplicating Hairston's NAACP achievements as he is about "maintaining and carrying on" the L NAACP's work. The executive board also elected Rodney J.
