To stamp out race discriminations. 3. To prevent lynchings, burnings and torturings of black people. 4. To assure to every citizen of color the common rights of American citizenship. _President Wilson declared for woman suffrage as a war measure. Black men are not allowed to vote in many of the states of the Union, despite the Fifteenth Amendment._ 5. To compel equal accommodations in railroad travel, irrespective of color. 6. To secure for colored children an equal opportunity to public school education through a fair apportionment of public education funds. _Unless the colored child can be educated he is at a fearful disadvantage. An uneducated Negro population menaces national well-being. This education should be of hand and brain and can be adequately done_ for all Negro children, not the fortunate few, _only by public schools_. 7. To emancipate in fact, as well as in name, a race of nearly 12,000,000 American-born citizens. The only means we can employ are education, organization, agitation, publicity--the force of an enlightened public opinion. THE WORK IS SUPPORTED ENTIRELY BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND MEMBERSHIPS.
