DEVELOPMENT OF OUR own

our people. Why? Because we have
been teaching them 10 fear. Now,
the Development OF Our Own
teaches us to fear nobody but God.
We have been too humble. Now, we
must hold up our heads. Let us be
men and women. and not act as.'if
We were living back in the days of
slavery. We must march forward in
the Twentieth Century like heroes.
like Crispus Attacks, the first Ne
gro TO die for the spirit OF freedom
in America. We can have his spirit.
by organizing ourselves under the
Development OF our Own for one
common cause.
That common cause Is TO see this
world beautiful and happy for all
men and women of all races. Then,
We shall study war no more, but
dwell in peace and harmony.
Let us unite as colored people in
America. so other nations and
races can recognize and respect us.
Think for a moment Are We real
human beings or not? II we are
real human beings-reai men and
women-let us organize ourselves
in Michigan. 100000 strong under
the Development OF Our Own. by
September !. Then the world will
know what the darker people OF
our country are doing for the de-
velopment Of ourselves. Organize,
so II will go down in history and
future generations may see what
we have done in the state of Michi-
gan. BY organizing under the De-
velopment Of Our Own. an organi-
cation which means selfhelp for all
the darker peoples of the world, the
world will take notice and respect
us.
We should organize so thoroughly
that one day in the year might be
set aside for our people under the
Development OF Our Own in Ameri.
ca.
Let us so act that We may enjoy
the blessings that were intended foi
us from the beginning OF I'll,
world-blessing which God gave
us in common with all human be-
ings to enjoy. Have we enjoyed
these blessings? Let me say e
you, we have not. Are we going e
still be ignorant and remain unor
ganized. Let us join ourselves to
gether, under the Development O
Our Own. then We can get tn,
things that belong to us. Suppos,
England, France or America want
ed TO give us something. The,
would say, I'VE can't give the darl
people Of America anything, be
cause they are not together. Now
this matter Is coming up in tn,
near future. so let us organize. II
order that we may be ready to re
ceive the things which they hav,
for us.
