VETERANS WELCOME TO NATIONAL
WOMEN AND GIRLS CONVENTION

ganized action confronts the present
generation of colored groups in Amer
lea. To reach some objective of per
manent racial security for future gen
erations, an organized racial about face
must be established.
A new program of economic thought
should be formulated. Old social stan
dards must be obliterated. New poll
teal conceptions shrewdly developed
for a greater racial freedom wisely
conceived can forever abolish deliber-
ate race-baiting. Serious study should
be given for mapping out a sane pro-
gram. A nationwide band of racial
educated units should be woven into a
big unit in order to develop plans for
opposing these un-American encroach-
ments. Continued persecution breeds
discomfort. Any movement to combat
it must be organized on a high plane
in order to receive sympathetic recog-
milton from those who abhor intoler-
ance.
One group of the colored masses in
America has made an impression dur
ing the Nations development which
should be given serious consideration
as an organized entity of racial ad-
vancement. CoIored veterans who
braved the horrors of war should be
given the honor of leading the onward
movement for realization of a greater
understanding among racial groups. A
denial of this privilege cannot be
waived. They have justly earned the
right to unfold a program of racial re-
adjustment which other groups of the
race can follow as a pattern. When

Mass persecution Of Colored people
in America began when cargo Of
black human beings landed at James
town, Va, 1909. That landing in a
strange country when grief stricken
Africans became involuntary victims
of the lash was one of the most inhu-
man incidents in American history.
Three centuries after the jamestown
landing, Americas colored womanhood
organized a revolt. The stage was set
in Boston. On the eve of another con-
clave of the Nations colored women in
Boston, a merited tribute and welcome
must be accorded them by the colored
war veterans who cannot forget the
noble and unselfsh sacrifices these
women have made in protecting their
homes during the War and their devo-
ton to organized effort. They have
constantly been on the alert to ban
persecution in America. When men of
their own race failed to protect them
from the slurs of chastity and clean
womanhood they banded themselves to-
gether to wage a militant battle for
vindication. This movement will always
be considered an outstanding event of
the 10Th century.
Racial discomfort has always been
manifested. Only in isolated instances
has there ever been concerted move
ments to break down the strong walls
of prejudice. Indignation has been
bitter, but the weakness Of those who
dared to resent this growing scurge
only scratched the surface for effective
remedies. The need of intelligent or

forty-four states. This organization
was born in Boston's historic Charles
st. Church in 1895 at the close of a
convention called for the purpose of
refuting the Islander against Colored
women by a southerner named Sam
Jacks. The call for this first great
