speak about this, one group in
particular comes to my mind,
The TaliSmen.
These young men, all of
draft ages formerly known DIS
the Kingsmen of Brooklyn who
attained distinction in the So

will come out of retirement to
dedicate a dance to the soldier
boys, many Of whom are their
own members. Funds from this
affair will be used to send serv-
icemen gifts and also to pur-
chase War Bonds to speed up
the Victory and the safe re-
turn of their many friends.
The purpose of this former
Kingsmen Club is not only So
cial but Cultural. Many Of
these lads now attend City
College and are determined to
stress upon their race, the i'm
portance of the history of the
colored man and culture by
means of wel-planned pro-
grams to be held in the near
future. They hope that such
programs will promote greater
race progress and race unity,
