Efficiently organized into functional divisions, it runs smoothly, even when Jackson is away, under the day-today administration of such able aides as the Rev. Calvin Morris, the associate director, and a lively woman minister, the Rev. Mrs. Willie P. Barrow...
...like crowds in other museums: they're unselfish and patient. People crowd around the clippings, but they wait their turn.
