An inspiring chorus of "W e Shall Overcome" Convention opens on cheerful note b y R o n Sykes, Jr. Monday, July 3rd delegates from all over the United States Rowed into the M em orial Coliseum to begin registration for the 69th Annual N A A C P Convention. By 10:00 a .m . the M em o rial Coliseum complex was heavily populated with enthusiastic conven tioneers all sporting a colored name tag, which signified that they had paid at least $7 to participate in all upcoming activities of the conven tion. The first major event of the con vention was the Commerce and In dustry Show. The Exhibit H a ll, where this show took place, was a labyrinth o f booths and displays representing every sort o f industry imaginable. The proprietors were in terested in not only displaying their products, they were also eager to give them to every passerby. There was hardly a person that left the exhibit without a shopping bag filled with posters, calendars, and other artifacts to remind them that they had attend ed the 69th Annual N A A C P Con vention. The convention officially opened at 7:00 p.m ., as the delegates assem bled in the main arena for an orien tation meeting and a memorial ser vice. Everyone present took their seats in solemn reverence as such personalities as M arg aret Bush Wilson, Chairman, Board of Direc tors, ascended to the platform to open the session. The meeting took place in an orderly fashion, and the hearts of all were swollen with pride as everyone watched and knew that the activities that are to shape the future o f all minorities were beginning on a successful note.
