of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. are fron 

left to right past Grandmaster Edward A. Lawrence, New York City; 

Rev. Thomas S. Logan, Yeadon, Penn.; past Illustrous Potentate

Shriners Charles A. Dargan, New York City and past Grandmaster

to hear Democratic senator from Massachusetts, Edward M. Kennedy, 

deliver the key address. The senator praised them for their 

outstanding support of LDF. Since 1951, the Prince Hall Masons 

and the Shriners have contributed approximately $400,000 to 

support LDF's programs to tear down the barriers of racial in- 

justice and discrimination in every aspect of American society.

NOTE: Please bear in mind that the LDF is a completely separate 

and distinct organization even though we were established 

by the NAACP and those initials are retained in our name. 

Our correct designation is NAACP Legal Defense and Educa- 

tional Fund, Inc., frequently shortened to LDF.
