Need For Proper Treatment Of
Minority In School Texts Cited

Meeting here at the Statler Hilton 
Hotel, the twenty-one member
commission, recently appointed by
ATA president, Dr. J. Rupert Picott
of Richmond, Va., issued the following 
statement: "We hope to help
to effect the improvement of textbooks 
used in this country on all
levels so far as handling the treatment 
of Negro life and culture where
quality and quantity of materials
on the Negro minority are concerned." 

According to studies presented by
the various members of the commission, 
facts reveal that textbooks say
little or nothing at al lot the existence 
and contributions of free
Negroes in the pre - 1861 era, as
well as no mention at all of the
Negro slaves' contribtuion to the
growth of the United States. "And
they make no mention at all of the
resistance of the Negroes to their
enslavement," a spokesman said.
The commission, with representatives 
from three states, — North
Carolnia, South Carolina and Virginia 
— also pointed out that the
texts used in the classrooms around

the country, particularly around the
South, do not mention the Negroes
who participated in the Abolitionist
movement; the Negroes who fought
as soldiers and sailors in the Revolutionary 
war, the War of 1812, the
Civil War, and all of the nation's
wars in the years that have followed; 
and no mention of the contributions 
of the Afro - American
scholars, artists, etc., other than
the popular entertainers.
"We seek the inclusion of Negro
life in America's textbooks, and we
ask that it be integrated along with
the other facts concerning American 
life," a member of the commission 
stated;
H. A. Marshall of Norfolk, presiding 
chairman of the commission,
said that the work of this commission 
will be continued at subsequent
meetings and that members of the
commission from the various states
will appear before their respective
state boards of education and general 
legislatures in the various
southern states where nothing is
being done to seek the proper inclusion 
of the minority groups in
all texts used in the classrooms of
our schools.
Based on the examinations of
textbooks and studies of the treatment 
of Negroes in textbook, the
commission proposed the following
recommendations:
Urge that credit be given to Negroes 
who held with dignitv, positions 
in government, education, industry, 
etc., during the Reconstruction 
period and afterwards.
That the ATA urge greater inclusion 
of Negro news and achievements 
in the publications of the
state departments of education.
That the ATA endeavor to discover 
and recommend to publishers
persons who are qualified to serve
as consultants and writers in preparation 
of textbooks.
That, existing textbooks be studied 
so that distortions or misrepresentations 
in material on the Negro 
might be pointed out and eliminated. 

Urge the use of illustrations and
photographs that will held to destroy 
the myths that have created
stereotypes about the Negro.
hat the ATA make known the
existence of the defects pointed out
by the Textbook Review Commission 
to textbook publishers textbook 
selection committees; its own
membership and other strategically
situated persons.
That the ATA publicize the many
books and materials on Negro life
nnd history already compiled by the
Association for the Study of Negro 
Life and History (ASNLH).
That each state represented at
the meeting supply the commission
with a list of their state's adopted
textbooks that do and do not portray 
the role of the Negro in its
true light, citing instances of valuable 
and destructive materials.
Since reference books mus supplement 
the texts, we urge the publishers 
of reference books to be
sure that the contributions of Negroes 
be made more comprehensive
an dto include all phases of Negro
life in its proper prospectus to
American culture.
That the Textbook Review Commission 
point out specific omission
and make comparisons between the
texts adopted by the southern states.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Meeting here at the Statler Hilton 
Hotel, the twenty-one member
commission, recently appointed by
ATA president, Dr. J. Rupert Picott
of Richmond, Va., issued the following 
statement: "We hope to help
to effect the improvement of textbooks 
used in this country on all
levels so far as handling the treatment 
of Negro life and culture where
quality and quantity of materials
on the Negro minority are concerned." 

According to studies presented by
the various members of the commission, 
facts reveal that textbooks say
little or nothing at al lot the existence 
and contributions of free
Negroes in the pre - 1861 era, as
well as no mention at all of the
Negro slaves' contribtuion to the
growth of the United States. "And
they make no mention at all of the
resistance of the Negroes to their
enslavement," a spokesman said.
The commission, with representatives 
from three states, — North
Carolnia, South Carolina and Virginia 
— also pointed out that the
texts used in the classrooms around

the country, particularly around the
South, do not mention the Negroes
who participated in the Abolitionist
movement; the Negroes who fought
as soldiers and sailors in the Revolutionary 
war, the War of 1812, the
Civil War, and all of the nation's
wars in the years that have followed; 
and no mention of the contributions 
of the Afro - American
scholars, artists, etc., other than
the popular entertainers.
"We seek the inclusion of Negro
life in America's textbooks, and we
ask that it be integrated along with
the other facts concerning American 
life," a member of the commission 
stated;
H. A. Marshall of Norfolk, presiding 
chairman of the commission,
said that the work of this commission 
will be continued at subsequent
meetings and that members of the
commission from the various states
will appear before their respective
state boards of education and general 
legislatures in the various
southern states where nothing is
being done to seek the proper inclusion 
of the minority groups in
all texts used in the classrooms of
our schools.
Based on the examinations of
textbooks and studies of the treatment 
of Negroes in textbook, the
commission proposed the following
recommendations:
Urge that credit be given to Negroes 
who held with dignitv, positions 
in government, education, industry, 
etc., during the Reconstruction 
period and afterwards.
That the ATA urge greater inclusion 
of Negro news and achievements 
in the publications of the
state departments of education.
That the ATA endeavor to discover 
and recommend to publishers
persons who are qualified to serve
as consultants and writers in preparation 
of textbooks.
That, existing textbooks be studied 
so that distortions or misrepresentations 
in material on the Negro 
might be pointed out and eliminated. 

Urge the use of illustrations and
photographs that will held to destroy 
the myths that have created
stereotypes about the Negro.
hat the ATA make known the
existence of the defects pointed out
by the Textbook Review Commission 
to textbook publishers textbook 
selection committees; its own
membership and other strategically
situated persons.
That the ATA publicize the many
books and materials on Negro life
nnd history already compiled by the
Association for the Study of Negro 
Life and History (ASNLH).
That each state represented at
the meeting supply the commission
with a list of their state's adopted
textbooks that do and do not portray 
the role of the Negro in its
true light, citing instances of valuable 
and destructive materials.
Since reference books mus supplement 
the texts, we urge the publishers 
of reference books to be
sure that the contributions of Negroes 
be made more comprehensive
an dto include all phases of Negro
life in its proper prospectus to
American culture.
That the Textbook Review Commission 
point out specific omission
and make comparisons between the
texts adopted by the southern states.

Vets Use Dividends
To Guard Against
Loss Of Insurance
Almost a million 
veterans who hold GI life insurance 
policies are using their
regular annual dividends to guard
against loss of their insurance, the
Veterans Administration said Monday. 

The VA has paid nearly $290million 
in dividends for 1964 to
more than 4.7 million veterans and
servicemen who hold participating
GI insurance.
GI policyholders may arrange to
leave future annual dividends with
the VA at interest as a credit to
meet monthly premiums should the
policyholders fall to pay them before 
the end of the 31-day grace
period.
These dividends are subject to
withdrawal by the policyholder on
request.
A policyholder who wishes to
join those veterans who leave their
dividends on deposit with VA for
this purpose should write to the
VA office which serves hip policy
making sure to include his insuranee 
number.

Hour Of Mailing For
Postmarks Endinq
The
Post Office Department will eliminatc 
the hour of mailing from all
U. S. postmarks beginning Feb. 1.
A simple "A.M." and "P.M." will
remain — mainly for the benefit
of insurance and other firms making 
deadline decisions on the basis
of mailing time of letters.
High-speed mail metering equipment 
was the cause of death. A
Post Office spokesman said countless 
manhours were wasted when
cancelling machines were set 43
times a day to the nearest halfhour. 

A special plan was salvaged for
contestants selected as winners on
the basis of the right answer with
the earliest postmark. The Post
Office will give the ma time-stamped 
receipt when the solution, Jingle
or boxtop is mailed.
N. B. C.-TV is planning sport
specials.
Packers sign Lombardi to new
5 year contract.

Report Students

In the
wake of recent racial disturbances
some African students have left the
Patrice Lumumba friendship University 
here and others are expected
to leave soon.
Diplomatic and student sources
said 10 Africans already have departed

Integration Of Fla. Teachers
Ordered By U. S. Appeals Court
Integration of Negro and white teachers,

surrounding Duval county by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Announcement was made in New
York City this week by jack Greenberg

administrative and teaching personnel. 

The three judge court also ordered 
an end to seperate budgets, employment 
and construction contracts 
curricula and program.
Mr. Greenberg said that this is
a "most sweeping school integration
victory. The court granted every
request in our prayer for relief."
The case was argued before the
Court of Appeals by Earl M. Johnson 
of Jacksonville one of the
Fund's cooperating attorneys. Constance 
Baker Motley and Leroy D.
Clark of the Fund's New York City
headquarters were of counsel.
The Fund's lawyers pointed out
that in some instances "some of
the minor plaintiffs and other
minor Negroes are required to
travel twenty miles to attend Negro 
schools whereas they reside
much nearer a white school."
The Court of Appeals duling also
calls for an end of the following
practices in Jacksonville and Duval
county schools:
* biracial school system
* dual scheme or pattern of
school zone lines or attendance
area lines based on race and color.
* school assignment of individual 
pupils by race
* assignment of teachers principals 
end other professional staff
on basis of race.

24 Negro schools in the county.

Jailed CORE Leader
Reinstated To Job
Clinton CORE
Chairman Currie Collins, who was
handed a dismissal notice-when he
got out of jail last October, has been
reinstatea with buck pay to his job
is food service worker at Villa Feliciana 
Geriatrics Hospital in nearby 
Jackson.
In ordering his reinstatement, the
Louisiana Civil Service Commission,
though denying that his "color, race
or affiliation with any organization
motivated the disciplinary action,"
ruled that Absence in itself does not
constitute cause for discharge. In
appealing to the Commission, Colins 
asserted he had notified the
hospital of his arrest and pointed
out that he had accrued accumulated 
leave.
Collins, along with 37 other pickets. 
was arrested in early October
at the start of a picket campaign
urging desegregation and job equality 
in the downtown business section: 
As a consequence of the ensuing 
boycott, Collins and 11 other
activities were arrested in early December 
for "conspiracy to commit
public intimidation."
