cL S$ come to our scbeation that in the Newspaper coverage of Houston 

thool Bus case the Legal Defense Fund has been mistakenly identi- 
fed as the NAACP. 

s not correct. 

NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. was established 

an independent organization in 1939. Since 1939, the Legal 
nse Fund has grown and serves as the legal arm of the entire 

rights movement. Today our attorneys represent all of the 

or civil rights groups as well as unaffiliated individuals with 

na fide civil rights clain. 

rrect eee is NAACP — Defense and Educational Fund, 

M appreciate your excellent coverage and hope that this will | 

ine y £ what we are trying to do.
