In talking about committee res—

cribe how other chapters carried
out projects - in their communi­
ties. She referred especially to
C alifornia communities, since
she is working in the Los Angeles
field office.
M rs . Black pointed out how
many black people who have
"m ade I t " owe th e ir success to
the training and backing they re­
ceived through N.A.A.C.P. She
also stressed that better com-
and national offices of the organi­
zation is needed to inform people
of all the things that are being
accomplished in th e ir behalf.
Board members discussed the
membership drive which started
March 1, wlthJamesLee andC.A.

drive is 2,000 members. In order

R eferring to M iss Simmons,
M rs. Black commented that"she
is a fine person to work fo r, and
also a fine speaker, worth hear­
ing.”
Since M rs. Black herself im­
pressed those present with h e r
speaking ability, her knowledge,
her quick w it, and her pleasing
way with people. President E llis
Casson indicated that she maybe
asked to return to Portland for
another training session later in
the year. She has been a member
of the national staff fo r three
years, and was active in NAACP
while working fo r the state of

special responsibilities with drug
addicts and their fam ilies. She
became interested in NAACP’ s
youth group while working toward
her degree in Sociology at Okla­
homa U niversity, was vice presi­
dent and secretary of the area
conference, also served as re­
gional secretary, and was ap­
pointed to President Kennedy* s -
Communlty Relations committee
