Last year N.A.A.C.P. membership increased by 23,239 and its total income by $745,233.77. Included in the association's 1968 membership are 67,586 youth-the largest number of young people in the civil rights movement. Our membership figures, our incoming mail and the demand for his public appearance indicate no "loss of ground" by our executive director. On the contrary, there has been ample evidence of his increase in stature...
...degrees at two liberal colleges this year (Rollins and Ursinus). TIME recorded, regretfully but with unquenchable hope, "Capp so far has never been attacked on campus." TIME did not mention that I appear on campuses by invitation of students, and that I am, I rather think, the most in demand of all campus lecturers at my outrageous fee.

...rail against "leaders crazed with power," who "deceive the people." Your leaders are self-dramatizers who demand that power, which would craze them, and they deceive you in not telling you how they plan your "confrontations"--to force the police to use force, whose excesses I hate more than you do. I, unlike you, want no one put "up against the wall." No "cheap politician more cynically deceived you than fanatical militants did--and will. Your support feeds their neurotic (because extremist) needs. Washington's "'Non-Violent' Co-ordinating Committee" has engaged in gunfire for three days as I write...
