THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED
BY THE FOURTEENTH ANNUAL.
CONFERENCE OF THE NATIONAL.
ASSOCIATION FOR THE AD-
VANCEMENT OF COLORED PEO-
PIE IN KANSAS CITY: A MESSAGE
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED
STATES.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, in
Fourteenth Annual Conference assem-
bled reafhrms the principles for which
it has always stood and most solemnly
pledges itself to use all Of the means
at its command to the furtherance Of
the task which it has undertaken until
that task is done.
It sends greetings to the eleven mil
lion Of American colored people in
whose behalf it is working and the
one hundred thousaud members, both.
white or colored, it represents.
The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People feels
gratifed over the measure OF awak-
ening of the public conscience as
touching the evils it is combating af-
fecting the colored people. 1t is tact
that the indifference and lethargy with
which these evils were treated in the
past are breaking away. Agencies
have been put in operation in various
sections of the country to remedy if
not to uproot some of these evils since
the Association has been holding them
up to the public gaze and demanding
that they be done away with.
The National Association for the
Advancement Of IColored People.
speaking directly for its membership
Of one hundred thousand and feeling
that it represents the sentiments Of
twelve million colored people Of the
United States, calls the attention Of
the American people to the following
truths:
|. That the destinies Of the Negro
and white races Of the American con-
tinent are inseparable; that the races
must, therefore, in the fullest sense
work together for the realization OF
the principles on which the American
nation was founded.
2. That spurious science and men
dacious propaganda alleging racial in
feriority are treason to the brother
hood of man without which no nation
can endure.
5. That unless the humblest citizen
IS guaranteed his citizenship rights
there can be no true security for any
one in the land.
=. That the mob and the spirit Of
intolerance which the mob represents
are danger to all achievements Of
mankind represented in all organized
society.
We therefore urge upon the Amer
Ican people that they take the first in
dispensable step toward combating
the mob and the shame and the dis
grace which the mob has for thirty
FIVE years put upon the name Of Amer
lea.
We ask the American people to in
sist upon the enactment Of the Dyer
Anti-Lynching Bill which Would place
punishment Of the mob in the hands
Of the Federal Government when the
states refuse or are unable to do their
duty as they have refused and have
been unable for thirty-five years.
We ask the President and the Con-
gress of the United States that the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
to the United States Constitution Be
made something more than scrap Of
paper and that The Negro universally
deprived Of the vote in the Southern
States bc granted The ballot upon the
same condition and with tn same
qualifications T. those imposed upon
