Recent events help to emphasize the fact that the NAACP is an indispensable factor in the advancement of our people. On the basis of a Supreme Court decision won by the NAACP in 1944, Negro citizens of Orlando, were recently granted the right to vote in city primaries. In June the NAACP won Supreme Court deci sion which emphasize the fact that a state must provide the same edu cational opportunities for all citi zens, without regard to race or color. Word has Just been received that the NAACP has won another stay of execution for the seven sentenced to die in Virginia on charges of raping a White woman. And the NAACP Is still trying to save the lives of the two Groveland boys, who were convicted last year in a county filled with the spirit of mob violence. Surely every think ing Negro can afford a membership this year as a token of appreciation for the heroic struggle that the NAACP is making to secure justice for colored Americans.
