N. S. L. PROTESTS EXPULSION OF FISK COLLEGE STUDENT

In protest against the expulsion of Ishmael P. Flory from Fisk University in Nashville. Tennesse, the Harvard Chapter of the N. S. L. sent the following telegram last night:

WE PROTEST EXPULSION OF I. P. FLORY FOR ACTION AGAINST JIM CROWISM WHEN FISK STUDENTS WERE INVOLVED BY THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION IN SINGING ENGAGEMENT AT LOEW JIM CROW THEATER NASHVILLE STOP WE DEMAND YOUR SUPPORT IN FIGHT FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND AGAINST RACIAL DISCRIMINATION BY HIS IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL REINSTATEMENT.

HARVARD NATIONAL STUDENT LEAGUE.

Ishmael P. Flory, a member of the N. S. L. at Fisk University, was dismissed for having written an article against jim-crowism in a Baltimore negro newspaper. The protest was occasioned by the fact that the Fisk Singers had accepted an engagement in this jim-crow theater which discriminates against negro students.
