Willis Out
CHICAGO — The successful
one-day boycott of Chicago’s pub
lic schools has been called a
mandate to Mayor Richard J.
Daley and the Board of Educa
tion to get rid of Dr. Benjamin
C. Willis, the school system’s con
troversial superintendent.
Commenting on the boycott
which kept 225.000 children out
of school on Oct. 22. Carl Fuqua,
executive secretary of the Chica
go NAACP branch, said that the
demonstration clearly indicated
the need for removal of the
school superintendent who has
refused to take any effective steps
to eliminate de facto segregation
in the city school system.
At a rally in front of City Hall,
the Rev. W. N. Daniel, president
of the Chicago NAACP branch,
told the massed thousands: “We’re
tired of bigotry and facism in
Chicago’s schools.”
The NAACP branch is one of
several organizations affiliated
with the Co-ordinating Council
of Community Organizations
which sponsored the boycott and
rally.
