ADDRESS OPENING MEETING OF N.

Spingarn Medal Goes to Roland Hayes

ence, goes this year to the greatest
singer of his race, Roland Hayes, now
triumphantly touring European cities.
In Mr.. Hayes absence, it was ar
ranged to have the medal presented
by Provost Josiah Fl. Penniman of the
sentative of Mr.. Hayes. The commit
tee making the award consists of Bish-
op John Hurst, chairman; Dorothy
Garfield Fisher, author of "The Bent
of the Jeanes and Slater Funds John
Hope, president of Morehouse College;
Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secre-
tary of the navy, and DIR. w. e. B. Du
Bois, editor of The Crisis.
Roland Hayes, to whom the Sping
arm Medal goes, has achieved unique
distinctions, having been hailed by
leading critics in Europe and America
as one of the greatest living artists of
any race. Born June 3, 1887, at Curry
vile, Georgia, Hayes was working as
a stove molder when his voice was dis
covered by Mr.. Calhoun, corored
singer, who urged him to study and
gave him his first instruction. Roland
Hayes worked his way through Fiske
University, coming North with the
Fiske Jubilee Singers and remained to
study in Boston, where he gave his
first recital in Jordan Hall in 1912.
Since then he has toured the countries
of Europe as well as the United States
achieving new triumphs at each ap-
pearance. In April of 1921 he was ac-
corded the honor of being commanded
to sing before the King and Queen of
England. He has given more than six
teen recitals in England, has sung
more than forty times in the salons of
Paris, and has been soloist with the
Boston, Philadelphia and Detroit Sym
phony Orchestras in the United States.
On his present tour of Europe, Mr..
Hayes is to appear with Sir Henry
Woods Orchestra in England and will
give recitals in Paris, Vienna, Buda-
pest, Prague, and other cities of
Czecho- Sloval1ia, Hungary and Italy.
On his return to America early in Oc-
tober of this year, Mr. Hayes will fill
sixty concert engagements throughout
the United States on tour which will
take him to the Pacific coast.

Philadelphia, June 27.-With dele
gates in attendance from more than
thirty states, including Georgia, Okla
homa, Colorado, Tennessee, South Car
olina, and most of the Eastern states,
the National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People opened
its fifteenth annual conference in Phil
adelphia with a mass meeting in the
First African Methodist Church at
which the outstanding features were
addresses by Moorfield Storey, nation
al president of the association, and
Congressman L. c. Dyer. At this
meeting, too, greeting was read
from President Coolidge expressing
my good wishes to your splendid or
ganization and my hopes for the full
est realization of its high purposes"
Welcome to the conference in be-
half of the city of Philadelphia
was extended by Charles Hall, presi-
dent of the city council, and by Isa-
dore Martin, president of the Philadel-
phia Branch, N. A. A. G. p. Mr.. Hall
took occasion during his address of
welcome to deliver a vigorous denun-
citation of the Ku Klux Klan for which
he said there was no place in America.
Bishop John Hurst, presiding officer
at the opening mass meeting, charged
that southern sentiment was dominat-
.ln 20 1nrsth ~T1 O.
tory in the Civil war, and asserted that
the time had come for Negroes to
stand together and make common
cause for their rights.
Mr.. Storey in his address, reviewed
the growth of the n. A. A. G. Z. from
a small committee to membership Oh
100000. an asserted that it rested
with colored people whether the cam
paign for their full citizenship rights
was to be carried VIGOROUSLY onward
by the n. A. A. c. p. Commenting up
on President Coolidge's message of
greeting to the N. A. A. G. T., MI
Storey said:
"There is a very simple way of test
ing President Coolidges wishes for
the realization of our high aims Let
MS test the President in the matter OF
segregation in the government depart
ments in Washington. 1t began under
President Wilson. 1t can end under
Coolidge"
Representative Dyer in a fiery at
tack upon "the most cowardly Repuo-
Iican senators who have ever been IN
office" urged colored voters to vote
upon the basis of present issues, not
the Civil war. He asserted that not
by the action of a Republican but
through the efforts of a member Of the
Farmer-Labor party the case of Wal
ter Cohen had been reconsidered anu
Mr.. Cohen confirmed as customs col
lector at the Port of New Orleans. He
charged Senator Pepper of PennsylVa-
mia with giving more attention to the
World Court than to his colored con-
stituents and denounced the Ku kluN
Klan. 81 will not vote for or sup
port" said Mr.. Dyer, "for any office,
anyone who is a member of or coun-
tenanceS the Ku KluX Klan. If lived
in Indiana, 1 would not vote for the
Republican candidate for governor be-
cause he owes his nomination to the
klan."

Hopes for FULLEST Realization of Its High Purposes

purpose which in the ordering of hu-
man affairs subjected a part of the
black race to the ordeal of slavery,
that race might have been assigned to
the tragic fate which has befallen
many aboriginal peoples when brought
into conflict with more advanced COM
munities. Instead, we are able now to
be confident that this race is to be
preserved for great and useful work.
If some of its members have suffered,
If some have been denied, if some have
been sacrificed, we are able at last to
realize that their sacrifices were
borne in great cause. They gave vi
cariously, that a vastly greater num-
ber might be preserved and benefited
through them. The salvation of race,
the destiny of a continent, were bought
at the price of these Sacrifices
'Such being my firmly held view of
the great part which the colored COM

development of a world civilization, 1

wishes to your splendid organization
