- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: C-31751 CATHOLIC COLLEGE HONORS ROY WILKINS PURCHASE, N.Y. -- Roy Wilkins, NAACP’s executive secretary, receives an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Mother E.M. O’Byrne, president of Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart, Purchase, N.Y. The Negro leader was cited for his “high ability, strong patience and unconquerable hope.” It was noted that Mr. Wilkins has “consistently stressed educational opportunity, civic responsibility, civil liberty, and redress of grievances through the law courts of the U.S.A.” In his acceptance address, Dr. Wilkins lauded the response of youths and students to such service projects as the Peace Corps and the Mississippi summer voter registration drive and their growing recognition of the civil rights struggle as a moral issue.
