RJR Nabisco Helps Finance NAACP Headquarters Baltimore - To assist America’s oldest civil rights organization in financing a new headquarters, RJR Nabisco, Inc. recently pledged $50,000 toward the NAACP’s relo cation from New York City to Baltimore. Escalating rent and the need for larger facilities motivated the NAACP, which had been based in New York since 1900, to construct a new building in Baltimore this year. The new headquarters will house staff offices, a conference center, and a National Civil Rights Library and Archives. RJR Nabisco recently paid $25,000 of its $50,000 pledge to the NAACP building fund campaign, in addition to making a 1906 contribution of $90,000 to the NAACP’s Special Contribution Fund.

RJR Nabisco presented NAACP with two checks totaling $55,000 at NAACP's recent annual convention in Baltimore. Marshall B. Bass, senior vice president of RJR Nabisco, said, “The NAACP has helped eliminate discrimination in housing, schools, workplaces and the courts. The NAACP strives to obliterate the vicious poverty cycle and the plague of unemployment. And the NAACP seeks an even broader goal - to eliminate racial prejudice, combat indifference, and help awaken humanity. The NAACP moves this country toward achiev ing the principles of democracy and opportunity upon which the nation was founded.” In accepting the RJR Nabisco contributions, Benjamin L. Hooks, executive director of the NAACP, said, “You know this is appreciated. The statistics covering Black Americans in employment, educa tion and housing - to identify but a few of the crucial areas of concern - are so overwhelmingly bleak that they demand an era of unprece dented commitment and activity.” RJR Nabisco, an international consumer products corporation with headquarters in Winston-Salem, N.C., is the parent company of Nabisco Brands, Inc.
