Dear Friend:
National Negro Health Week has
ende, but not so the health program
among the Negro population of Ne
braska. Ours is a year-round task.
I wish to take this ocassion to sin
crely thank you for your loyal par
ticipation and civic pride in helping
develop Omaha's Negro Health
Week program which has met our
every expectation. I know that
throughout the year, I shall have
occassion, at various times, to sail
upon your committee or perhaps you
personally, in support of improved
healthful conditions among our Neg
ro people. During the 31 years that
the American Negro has stressed
emphasis upon health and education
We have seen changes which might
be termed "miraculous.” We have
increased our span of life to a point
where major insurance firms con- ,
sider the Negro a good ‘'risk.'’ Yesj
we have overcome many obstacles.
Our present position is indeed en
couraging. We hope our position in ,
the future will be challenging. If it j
comes to pass, civic minded, com
munity conscious, responsible per
sons as yourself will have made it
80.
Very truly yours I
