Committee of 100 Families
The “Committee of 100 families”
is composed of progressive Lin
coln citizens who are interested in
the progress of the community.
The committee was organized
three years ago for the purpose
among other things, of supporting
THE VOICE advertisers and
thereby adequately maintaining a
publication to serve the best in
terest of the community. We have
received very fine co-operation'
and the results have been com
mendable. To see these names;
together in print gives some ideal
of the tremendous possibilities and I
merit of such strong co-operation.
THE VOICE has weathered
five years, during which time the
paper’s pages have carried local,
sectional and national news, and
it has become an accepted part of
local life . .. familiar in the home
of the progressive Lincolnite.
This “Committee of 100 Fami
lies” is only a small part of the
families, friends and interested
readers in the city and throughout ’
the country who are responsible j
for the success of THE VOICE. i
Southern Negroes Make Gains
Recently speaking in Richmond,
Va., the veteran NAACP admin
istrator, Roy Wilkins, paid a de
served tribute to the initiative
and courage of Southern Negroes,
who have too frequently been
represented, fro propaganda pur
poses as being helpelss and ter
rorized.
It is most timely to have
pointed out, as Mr. Wilkins did,
that “it was the Southern Negroes
who challenged in the courts the
old ‘Grandfather Clause’ which

jkept them from the ballot box.
It was the Southern Negros who
started and carried through to a
victorious finish the 20-year fight
against ‘White Primary.’ It is the
Southern Negroes, operating
through the courts, who have
opened the doors of Southern
white universities to their young1
people. It has been the Southern
Negroes who have taken a lead-.
!ing part in the 50-year fight
against lynching, riots and Klan'
terror. It is now the Southern
Negroes in Virginia, South Caro-j
lina and Georgia who are asking!
the courts that segregation be
abolished in elementary and high
schools.”
