Master of Ceremonies Officers and Members of the
Afro American Sons and Daughters:
We are pleased to greet you this the twelfth an

in the unique and historical town of Mound Bayou
Unique in that it is the only town within whose
limits only people of racial group dwell and has been
thus since its founding by the late l. T. Montgomery and
Benjamin F. Green. Historical in that from this vicinity

Negro Senators to sit in Federal Congress- and now

hospital owned controlled and operated by men and wo
of color should to Mound Bayou whose Mayor
is the gifted of Benjamin F. Green of the illus
trous founders.

In the great plan of creation we had nothing to dc
with the position wherein were placed. We chose
