for the preservation of modern civilization."
It is expected that in his annual address he will set forth his philosophy that in the conquest for civil rights, "leaders of my race should now be concerned with the race facing its own problems and solving them. We now should move from protest to production."
As an example of production, he cited "Freedom Farm," a 404 acre farm the National Baptist Convention purchased and equipped to aid the distressed people at Fayette County, Tennessee, who had been evicted from their farms for attempting to register and vote.
For the most recent example of his "production" philosophy, Dr. Jackson points to his church's new Educational Building, designed to serve his congregation and the community.
According to Dr. Jackson, after his church had been refused a building loan from numerous financial institutions, he called upon parish members to demonstrate what they can do for themselves by providing the necessary funds. The new, $500,000 structure, dedicated last month, is entirely free of debt.
Aside from routine business matters, special reports on "Freedom Farm" and the convention's Liberian land purchases will be made.
