N. A. A. C. P. ITEMS
It seems extremely difficult to get
it into the minds of the public that
the Omaha branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People meets regularly the
first Sunday in each month at the i
Y. W. C. A., and the third Sunday in
each month at some one of the
churches. Though these meetings
are always announced in our papers
time after time, still the time-worn
complaint is heard, “I didn’t know
you were meeting,” or “I didn’t know
where the meeting was.” This, too,
in the face of the fact that for more
than three years the association has
held the above stated meetings.
The question naturally arises, “Is
the Negro of Omaha really concerned
about the one organization in all the
world that is fighting his battles all
over the world?”
Let’s get out of this lethargy. Let’s
make 1928 a banner year in Omaha
for the N. A. A. C. P.
The local branch has for its execu
tive committee a most excellent
group of men. They have intelli
gence, experience and stamina. They
have decided that so far as lieth
within them, Omaha shall no longer
:-:
be a tail-ender among the cities of
its size in Negro population.
Through the awakeness of its new
ly elected chairman of the member
ship committee, the Rev. P. M. Har
ris of the South Side, more than 30
have been added since the beginning
of the year.
Are you perfectly satisfied with
conditions locally? Nationally? Do
you have no interest in the better
ment of the economic, social, educa
tional and political conditions of our
brethren in the South?
If you do, then align yourself with
the one organization that is so relent
lessly striving against enormous odds
for these things. Come to the Y. W.
C. A., Twenty-second and Grant
streets, Sunday, 4 p. m. and help put
over the national program by putting
over the part assigned to the local
branch. Will you come?
PLEASANT GREEN
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Omaha, Neb.—To The Monitor
Pub. Co.—Allow me space to speak
about the Pleasant Green Sunday
school and its activity.
Supt. A. Hamler called the school
to order promptly at 9:30 a. m. and
each teacher was in his place, and
after the regular order of service was
observed, the teachers took their
places and the lesson from Mark 5:
was taught. Text—“Thy faith hath
made thee whole.”
You should see Mr. S. S. Whitelow
and his class, they think they stand
at the head of the school as they are
the high school boys and girls. Mrs.
Smith has one of the best set of boys
in church and she feels proud of
them.
Mr. C. H. Wilson is one of our new
teachers, he has one of the junior
classes, and they have great respect
for their teacher. Miss Bernice
Abernathy teaches the beginners, she
loves children. Mrs. Davis is one of
the teachers but was sick and, oh,
how we did miss her. The class
seemed to be at a loss.
Messrs. Nelson and Richie are also
teachers that we feel proud of. No
task seems to worry them. Mr.
Pruett was late, but we forgive him.
Now, I think we have one of the
best Sunday schools in the west, we
had 159 in school Sunday morning,
and still growing. Mr. A. Hamler is
one of the best superintendents in
the state, and if you don’t believe this
a visit to our school will convince you.
Miss Beatrice Lewis, Reporter.
Miss Lewis is authorized to receive
subscriptions for The Monitor in
Pleasant Green church.
