Brother Dudley is a native of Virginia and was named two years ago as one of one hundred (100) distinguished Virginians living out of the state. He also served as Ambassador to Liberia. Brother Hamilton E. Holmes of Atlanta made history at the University of Georgia at Athens. He was one of two Negro students who because of his courageous action in not yielding to segregation added prestige to the determination of Negro youth to have first class citizenship today. Brother Franklin H. Williams, former NAACP Regional Attorney and now Assistant Attorney General of California has been named Assistant Director of the Peace Corps by President Kennedy. Brother L. H. Foster, President of Tuskegee Institute is to be commended on his forthright stand on Civil rights issues. His school has been cut forty per cent (40%) of the total cost of operating specialized courses in Agriculture, Home Economics, Nursing, Engineering and Veterinary Medicine.
