Roy Wilkins of NAACP
j Speaks to Representatives
Roy Wilkins, Assistant Secre
t tary of the NAACP and editor of
of the Crisis magazine, addressed
representatives of branches from
various cities in Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota. The meeting
was a special one which was held
at Central Y.W.C.A. in Des Moines,
Iowa.
The following is a gist of his
address to these officers:
Mr. Wilkins addressed a mass
meeting of citizens at the Corin
thian Baptist Church. His em
phasis was upon civil rights. He
said that the NAACP is concen
trating upon the report of the
President’s committee on civil
rights. The fight is against lynch
ing, the white primary and for a
national FEPC. To illustrate the
beneficent effects of an FEPC he
said that the New York state
FEPC has caused Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company to begin
to hire Negro stenographers,
agents and other professional help.
Whereas before, they never even
hired one Negro as a maid or
janitor. They changed their policy
before the law passed but it was
obvious that they could foresee its
passage.
REV. ROBERT L. MOODY,
President of the Lincoln
Branch of NAACP.
