| “We Are Coming, Father Abraham, Ten Million Strong!” |
During the darkest days of the Civil War when the
fate of the nation hung in the balance, Abraham Lincoln
issued a call for volunteers to save the Union. The
rousing answer came: “We Are Coming, Father Abra
ham, Ten Million Strong!”
Today Democracy is threatened by lynching, dis
franchisement, “Jim Crowism” and race prejudice. The
National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, taking up Lincoln’s cause and fighting to com
plete the work begun by the Great Emancipator, sends
out a call for volunteers. “100,000 Members by its
Tenth Anniversary” is our slogan. When the Associa
tion holds its Tenth Annual Conference in Cleveland,
Ohio, on June 21-28 we want to be able to say as in
the 60’s: “We Are Coming, Father Abraham, Ten Mil
lion Strong!”
