Of the Emancipator we Negro citizens are reminded,
of the crying need now for the coming of new
great champion of the fundamental principles of
democratic society. Forever we shall pay homage TO
that gaunt, brooding figure who put behind him the
temptations of the most vicious social system man
has invented and at last to strong resolution
that God made all men free and equal The decision
which Lincoln made no easy one in his troubled
time but he the image of truth and justice, and
like Christian soldier he marched forward through
battle and chaos to humanitarian victory.
Today from one end of this land to the other,
the nation is being ravaged by virus that will in
the end bring only ruin and destruction. society
criss-crossed with steel ribbons of racial hate cannot
endure. Not even common enemy has welded the
divsive forces in society for total and united
war against the world aggressors. Our government
continues to give lip service to the verites by which
it is supposed to live and prosper.

1t takes men with tough minds and

losing their direction Frederick
Douglass was that kind OF a man
There were many dark hours ne

1t may be said that he seemed 10

masses Of his people were as surely
behind him as the force Of an ocean
