Description

In the message Abernathy criticizes the dismissal of Dr. Lawrence D. Reddick from Alabama State College, and he warns that citizens will no longer support the school if such repressive actions continue: "If you are bent upon destroying Alabama State College and driving our best teachers away, then you force us to withdraw our sons and daughters from it and send them to other institutions of our state that are supported by our tax dollars."
