PRINCE HALL SHRINERS DONATE 

$5,000 TO LEGAL DEFENSE FUND 

October 10, 1961 

NEW YORK - The NAACP Legal Defensé and Educational Fund received 

a $5,000 donation from the Imperial Council of Prince Hall 

Shriners this week. The donation was the annual Shriner con- 

tribution to the NAACP Legal Research Fund. 

The presentation was made by Charles Dargan, Natl. Director 

of the Shriner's NAAGP Foundation Drive, to outgoing Director- 

Counsel Thurgood Marshall in the Legal Defense Fund offices 

at 10 Columbus Ciréle, New York City: 

John Lewis, Grand Master of Prince Hall Masons of Louisiana; 

William Kilpatrick, Sr., of Nabar Temple, Atlanta, Ga.; Baxter 

F. Jackson, Medina Temple, New York, N. Y.; Rev. E. Harrison 

Clark, a past Potentate, and Leon Berry, Deputy Imperial Potentate 

were present at the ceremony. 

Mr. Marshall cited the Shriners for their continued annual 

support of the Legal Defense Fund and its activities. Mr. Marshall 

who is himself a Noble of the Mystic Shrine and an active member 

of Medina Temple No. 19 in New York City, resigned last week to 

take a federal judgeship, culminating twenty-five years of service 

to the legal work of the NAACP.
