The bir thdays of Abraham Lincoln and that great Negro fight. for freeom, Freerick Douglass, fall during this week The American Negro has made so many contributions to America that Negro history is American history. The Negro helped build the roads, railways and buildings. Important contributions have been made to in dustiy, agriculture and science by such men as George Washington Carver, to education by Booker T Washington, to music by James Wei don Johnson, Marian Anderson Paul Robeson, to sports by Joe Lou is, Jesse Owens and many others The contributions of the Negro peo ple are the property of all Americ ans. Yet. the Negro people in this war still suffer from Jim Crow and job discrimination and other forms 01 oppression. We have begun to real ize that the future of American de mocracy depends on the elimination of this oppression and the complete integration of the Negro people in every phase of American life. We suggest that during the month of February, your lodge should ar range some observance of this week. You may turn one of your regulai lodge meetings into such an observ ance, or you could arrange a special meeting on the history and problems of the Negro people. In almost every community there is now functioning a local Negro Histotfy Committee- Please get in touch with this Committee to help you plan the meeting. Invite a speaker from the Committee. In vite people from the Negro Com munity to your observance. Where no such Committee exists, get in touch with the progressive Negro leaders in your community Wherever possible a public meeting should be organized. We also sug gest a film progi'am showing the contributions of the Negroes to the present war. In a few- days you will receive an outline in bulletin form on Negro History Week. You will also re ceive copies of a special folder on Negro recruiting. A pamphlet on the struggle for Negro Rights, by Max Bedacht is being prepared We hope that your lodge will put forth its best effort in this under-, taking Fraternally vours, SAM MILGRAM. Gen’l. Org.
