BLACK REVOLT FEATURED
AT NAACP MEET
Representatives of two pre
dominantly Negro colleges and
two predominantly white col
leges told the Durham Branch
of the NAACP, at its monthly
meeting, held at St. Joseph A.
M. E. Church Sunday after
noon, February 23, that the
black student was not any dif
ferent on any campus when it
came to the demands that are
being made on college admini
stration.
Dr. Charles A. Ray, North
Carolina College, told the audi
ence that the revolting black
student, who had been become
vocal, feels that all school ad
ministrations are patterned by
white people and that the de
sgn is to keep him subjugated,
even while getting an education.
Dr. James H. Price, Duke
University, told of the demands
made by black students. He felt
that many of them were justi
fied and that President Knight
set out to put many of them in
to effect. Dr. Price felt that the
black student is saying, "I want
ed them day before yesterday,
I asked yesterday and I am de
manding them today."
Dr. James O. Cansler, Uni
versity of North Carolina, was
of the opinion that the black
students had made up their
minds they were not going to
trust any white man. He felt
that they were under the im
pression that they must become
a part of the administration and
thereby help to make policy. He
felt that the matter of separat
es mwas a devise whereby they
felt they would be able to weild
more power.
Dr. Grady Davis, Fayetteville
State College, where violence
erupted Friday night, was opti
mistic that classes would be re
sumed at the school Monday
morning. He said that Dr. Ru
dolph Jones, president, decided
that workshops should be set
?up, where students could bare
their grievances about the ad
ministration and the faculty. It
was Dr. Davis' thinking that the
confrontation brought out many
things that the students had
pondered in their hearts for a
long time.
It was also brought out that
outside agitation was no help
to a fruitful settlement. There
were those in the audience who
felt that the revolution was the
result of a national organization,
set up to disrupt the students in
the nation's many colleges.
The Branch performed an act
of mercy by taking a purse for
a destitute family, which lives
at 105 E. Piedmont Ave. The
head of the house (Mother) is
confined to the bed as the re
sult of recent operations. Her
mother suffered a stroke and is
confined to a wheel chair. There
are two boys who need shoes
and clothing. Mrs. Mabel Pow
ell, who visited the family for
the NAACP, reported that food
was needed badly.
