Va. Community Has
Unique Interracial Group
NORFOLK, VA. (ANP) This city has one of the
most unique interracial organizations in the south., It is
the Women’s Council for Interracial Cooperation, an or
ganization which was formed a little more than five years
ago. The body was organized a little over five years ago
by 11 White and eight Negro women at Obef Shelem
Temple.
he purpose of the organizers was
to find a medium through which the
two races could better understand
each other and express their views
openly on issues and problems of
common interest.
The first council president, Mrs.
Vivian Carter Mason, served from
1945 to 1947. She is one of the most
active members of her race in in
ternational organizaUons and only
recently returned from Haiti where
she attended the Haiti’s Federation
of Women at Port-au-Prince.
A White woman, Miss Sue
Slaughter, was president the next
two years. Mrs. O. W. C. Brown,
was elected president of the Council
recently. Thus the Council has had
one White and two Negro presi
dents.
According to informed sourees,
there is no other such interracial
women’s organisation in a Virginia
community. It is doubtful whether
another one exists in the South.
