IMPORTANT

Congressional Investigation of Mob Violence.

To All Officers of Branches of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People:-

A resolution is ready to be introduced in
Congress calling for a nation wide investigation of
lynching and mob violence. A number of Senators and
Representatives have pledged their votes for the re-
solution.

Support for this resolution must come from
all order-loving United States citizens but especially
from members of the N. A. A. C. P.

Branches are urged to write emphatic letters
endorsing the Congressional investigation to the Senators
and Representatives from their states and districts, and
every member of the N. A. A. C. P. is asked to telegraph
or write his Senators and Representatives.

Time Counts! Act at once and leave no doubt
in the minds of the members of Congress that their consti-
tuents want mob violence wiped out. The first step is
Congressional investigation which will bring all the facts
before the country as they could be brought in no other way.

WRITE!! TELEGRAPH!! AND URGE EVERY MEMBER
OF THE BRANCH AND ALL OTHERS TO DO LIKEWISE!!

James Weldon Johnson,

Field Secretary.
