WASHINGTON
PHILOSOPHY
PUBLISHED
Sidney J. Phillips, president,
Booker T. Washington Centen
nial Commission, today released
the first ii> a series of messages
to the American public. He re
minded them that “A house di
vided against itself shell not
stand,” and pleaded for goodwill
between the races while solving
problems affecting the nation ss
a result of the Supreme Court’s
decision.
The Booker T. Washington Cen
tennial Commission came into ex
istence in April of this year to
pay tribute to the One Hundredth
Anniversary of the birth of Book
er T. Washington who was born
in Franklin County, Va., April 5,
1856. A year-long program has
been arranged to focus the atten
tion of the nation upon the pres
ent day value of the fundamental
teachings of this great American.
Mr. Phillips recalled that it was
a little more than 61 years ago,
in an address at the Cotton States
Exposition in Atlanta, Ga., that
Booker T. Washington said, “There
is no defense or security for any
of us except in the highest intel
ligence and development of all.”
This admonition delivered before
a critical audience in 1895, ap
plies with equal force tbday. Cer
tainly the need for unity is just
as strong as ever.
Urging communities to pull to
gether for the solution of race
orablems, Mr. Phillips stated that
“Hate and ’mistrust may be wip
ed out if . representatives of va
rious groups will meet, discuss
and work together to find answers
to the problems that are causing
racial sores to festers.”

QooAumlL fciultbuuf' G'utUuie
Booker T. Washington in his historically famous Atlanta Exposition Address delivered
in Atlanta, Georgia a little more than 61 years ago, called the attention of the nation to
the fact that ‘There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence
and development of all.” Our land in that day was faced by group problems similar in
nature to those that are affecting us today as an outgrowth of the Supreme Court’s Decision
of May 17, 1954. It is because of these problems that this the first in a series of messages
from the Booker T. Washington Centennial Commission, is being issued. ?
This Commission was brought into existence in April to pay tribute to the one-hundreth
anniversary of the birth of Booker T. Washington (April 5, 1956), through a year long
program designed to focus the attention of the nation upon the present day value of the
sane fundamental teachings of this great American.
Since Booker T. Washington was an Apostle of Goodwill and since portions of our
land today are being torn asunder by mistrust, fear, and hate among Americans of different
racial strains, the Booker T. Washington Centennial Commission humbly invites all Ameri
cans to join its “Goodwill Building Crusade.”
Ours is a land of many races and creeds. We have different origins, cultures, and
backgrounds—but we are Americans all! ,Ours is a nation of Washington and Jefferson,
Lincoln and Lee, and millions of ordinary men and women who toiled and sweated, sacri
ficed and died to build their wonderful heritage. It was worth their lives to build it—
surely it is worth ours to preserve its hopes and ideals by working together in pekoe and
goodwill. ' i t
Remember France’s Maginot Line—built so strong of steel and stone that Frenchmen
felt secure behind it —but France fell. Not so much because of a lack of strength in its great
wall but mainly because of the spirit of its people. And remember too, Divine teachings
* set forth in these words in your Bible—no matter what your race or
■ creed—“A house divided against itself shall not stand.”
Hate and mistrust in your community might be wiped out if group
representatives meet, discuss, and work together to find answers lor
the problems that are causing racial sores to fester. »
Communities that pull together unite our nation. We invite ~y<m
to help to make yours such a community.
