| Summary: | In the telegram several members of the organization criticize the dismissal of Dr. Lawrence D. Reddick from Alabama State College and ask that his case be given a fair hearing. They also suggest the formation of a biracial conference to examine problems in the state: "An obvious deterioration of race relations in our state during the past several years is due to an accentuated policy of demagoguery and the dissemination of racist propaganda otherwise. We respectfully urge that a biracial summit meeting of Alabama's recognized leaders capable of affording rational recommendations to socio-economic and political problems be called by you in a sincere effort directed toward the elimination of double standards of citizenship in our state." |
