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.
