We denounce the spirit of those so
called representatives of the people
in the halls of Congress, who are con
stantly seeking to deeitizenize the
Colored race by the introduction of re
actionary legislation which belongs to
a past age and which the great body
of the American people have outgrown.
Racial Organization, Opposing Segre
gation.
We call upon the leaders of our race
in every section of our country to
unselfishly guide the people through
the difllculties by which they are be
set, and to organize them locally and
nationally to resist and combat denial
of civil and political rights and es
pecially the policy of separation from
fellow Americans of every race in the
life, opposing segregation, the
perpetrator of race prejudice.
Those who have wisdom let their
counsel be heard. Those who have
wealth, let them assist materially
where the need is great. Those who
have courage, let them stand and con
tend for justice.
