Statement by Samuel M. Lambert, Executive 
Secretary, National Education Association, 
and Jack Greenberg, Director-Counsel, 
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, 
Inc., Thursday, February 8, 1968. 

The South-wide joint legal effort of the DuShane Fund of 

the National Education Association and the Legal Defense Fund in 

behalf of Negro teachers won a significant victory today in the 

Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., in the case of 

the North Carolina Teachers Association v. the City of Asheboro 

Board of Education. This represents an encouraging legal accomp-— 

lishment for the scores of Negro educators across the South who 

face job displacement as their students move on to integrated 

classrooms. 

NEA and the LDF will intensify their joint campaign in 20 

test cases across the South.
