ments.

1t having been now nearly thirty
FIVE years since the Emancipation of
Four Millions of colored men, women
and children who wore for nearly two
hundred and fifty years the CALLING
yoke of slavery, bound by the chains OF
Ignorance and superstition, and having
been cut loose, with nothing, except a
reritage OF poverty and having TO labor
under greater disadvantages than any
oIher race known to civilized mankind
we feel it our plain duty 10 come to-
pether in q National Exposition in 1900
and show to the world our Religious,
Intellectual, Moral, Industrial and Ma
,erial advancement since the Emanci
patton.
NEW CENTURY, NEW NEGRO.
Then again 1900 being a new Century
we can truly boast and call ourselves
the New Negro Cor New Afro-Amerl-
can OF whatever name we may adopt
at the great convention during the &C.
casion OF the Exposition, which shall
be held for the purpose of deciding
this question, as we'll as ADOPT the Va
tional Emancipation day As this
will be the first time the Negroes OF
the United States have started in with
q new century as free men and clti-
zens.
THE SLAVE BORN AND THE FREE BORN.
Therefore we feel it duty, we owe
the old mothers and fathers of the
race, who were born during the dark
days of slavery, a nd those born since,
to come together once before we die IN
a great National Exposition and enjoy
the rich achievement of their praye ers
and the prayers of those that sleep be-
meath the sods and with us usher IN tae
new century and help install and crown
the New Negro.
TIE EXPOSITION.
tits presumed that this exposition
will be the greatest occasion of the
age, and Will be an era in the history OF
the Negro of this country and of the
unborn generation.
