Origins of NAACP are recalled during Black History Month
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is taken from excerpts of the story of the birth of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as written by Mary White Ovington, and first printed in 1914. In the summer of 1908 the country was shocked by the account of the race riots at Springfield, Dl. Here, in the home of Abraham Lincoln, a mob containing many of the town’s “best citizens,” raged for two days, killed and wounded scores of Negroes, and drove thousands from the city. Articles on the subject appeared in newspapers and magazines. Among them was one in the Independent of Sept 3, by William English Walling, entitled “Race War in the North.” After describing the atrocities committed against the colored people, Walling declared: “Either the spirit of the abolitionists of Lincoln and of Lovejoy must be revived and we must come to treat the Negro on a plane of absolute political and social equality, or Vardman and Tillman will soon have transferred the race war to the North.” And he ended with these words, “Yet who realizes the seriousness of the situation, and what large and powerful body of citizens is ready to come to their aid?” It so happened that one of Walling’s readers accepted his question and answered it. For four years I had been studying the status of the Negro in New York. I had investigated his housing conditions, his health, his opportunities for work. I had spent many months in the South, and at the time of Walling’s article, I was living in a New York Negro tenement on a Negro Street. And my investigations and may surroundings led me to believe with the writer of the article that ‘ the spirit of the abolitionists must be revived.” So I wrote to Walling, and after some time, we met in New York the first week of 1909. With us was Dr. Henry Moskowitz, now prominent in the administration of John Purroy Mitchell, Mayor of New York. It was then that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was bom. It was bom in a little room of a New York apartment. It is to be regretted that there are no minutes of the first meeting, for they would make interested, if unparliamentary, reading. Walling spent some years in Russia where his wife, working in a cause of the revolutionists, had suffered imprisonment; and he expressed his belief that the Negro was treated with greater inhumanity in the United States than the Jew was treated in Russia. As Walling is a southerner, we listened with conviction. I knew something of the Negro’s difficulty in securing decent employment in the North and of the insolent treatment awarded him at Northern hotels and restaurants, and I voiced my protest.
Doctor Reports “Overweight Patients Lose Too Much Weioht!”
ORANGE, CA A significant weight loss breakthrough of unprecedented magnitude has just been made. A new bioactive diet pill program containing amazing “E.A.B. Plus” has been perfected and is being marketed under the tradename Anorex 2000™. Researchers are calling it the “diet miracle of the ’9os.” Anorex 2000 with “E.A.B. Plus” actually turns the body into a “fat burning machine” which consumes its own stored fat, flab and cellulite thus shedding pounds and inches like magic. A panel of leading U.S. doctors and health experts found Anorex 2000 “safe for effective weight loss.” However it is an extremely powerful anorectic - instructions should be followed carefully. Expense Delays Marketing Anorex 2000 was developed after years of expensive research. Consequently it is not cheap - but it works! As one doctor commented, “My patients would pay many times the cost of Anorex 2000 to finally lose all the weight they want and need to lose - to finally realize their dreams of a thin, beautiful, healthy body. Some of my overweight patients actually lost too much weight with Anorex 2000.”
Dr. Moskowitz, with his broad knowledge of conditions ai. ong New York’s helpless immigrants, aided us in properly interpreting our facts. And we talked and talked voicing our indignation. Of course, we wanted to do something at once that should move the country. It was Janaury. Why not choose Lincoln’s birth, Feb. 12, to open our campaign? We decided, therefore, that a wise, immediate action would be the issued on Lincoln’s birthday of a call for a national conference on the Negro question. At this conference we might discover the beginnings, at least, of that “large and powerful body of citizens” of which Mr. Walling had written. It was thus decided that we should hold a conference, it was agreed that the conference should be invitation only, with the one open meeting at Cooper union. The Charity Organization Hall was secured, and on May 30, the conference was opened with an informal reception at the Henry Street Settlement, given by Miss Lillian D. Wald, one of the association’s first and oldest friends. The next morning our deliberations began. Out of this conference we formed a committee of 40 and secured the services of Miss Frances Blascoer, as secretary. We were greatly hampered by lack of funds. Our secretary was an excellent organizer, and at the end of the year we had held four mass meetings, had distributed thousands of pamphlets, and numbered our membership in the hundreds. In May, 1910, we held our second conference in New York, and again our meetings were attended by earnest, interested people. It was then that we organized a permanent body to be known as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The first National President was Moorfield Storey, of Boston. Another well known name was Dr. W.E.B. Dubois, from Atlanta University, first director of publicity and research. Dr. Dubois came to us and with him some of his organization of colored people, known as the Niagara Movement, formed in 1905 at Niagara, New York. The Niagara Movement hampered by lack of funds, and by a membership confined to one race only, was advised to join us. Many of the most prominent members of the Movement thus brought their energy and ability into the service of the Association. February is National Black History Month. For more information, check out materials in your library. For membership in the Greencastle NAACP, persons may call Pat Braden, 653-5010. The local branch will sponsor a showing of “Eyes On The Prize” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday (tonight) in the TV Room of the DePauw Student Union Building. Refreshments will follow and the public is invited.
