In giving out the box score of
Us activities in supporting the
student sit-in protests, the North
Carolina arm of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People reveals that it has
already expended nearly $5,000 00.
According to the figures re
| leased recently, the bulk of this
i money, has been spent in Greens
boro, Winston-Salem and Chsr
| lotte It seems that, in those cities,
: the NAACP went, “whole hog" in
defending and supporting the stu
dents engaged in these protests.
This is a record of support
which every good American
should be proud of. ft shows
that this great, democratic or
ganization is constantly on the
firing line for the advancement
of the American ideal* of jus
tice and equality
