Report Fewer

Dixie Negroes

Moving North

Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 12

Fewer Southern Negroes are

thinking now of moving to the

North as a result of the Mont

gomery example of passive resis

tance to segregation, a leader of

the Negro bus boycott here said

last night.

The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy

summed up a week-long “Institute

on Nonviolence and Social Change”

as “a real religious experience”

for Negro leaders.

The institute was held to mark

the first anniversary of the boy

cott and to spread the doctrine of

united opposition to segregation

among Southern Negroes.

Abernathy was chairman of the

institute which closed with a church

meeting of more than 3,000 per- J

sons yesterday. He estimated total:

attendance at institute sessions atj

about 20,000 with more than 1,000

individuals from ouside Montgom

ery attending.

Some came from as far away as

Sweden and Puerto Rico, he said.]
