istered by the State of North Carolina, so that the Bennett Place 
today stands as a permanent symbol of the Nation's unity; and 
Whereas the people of North Carolina, imbued with the same sense of 
unity and concord that characterized the Johnston-Sherman Ben-
nett Place conferences a century ago, and wishing to commemorate 
the centennial of those conferences, will hold appropriate ceremonies 
at the Bennett Place, near the city of Durham, on April 25, 1965;
