"THIS IS OUR COUNTRY .1UST AS
MUCH AS IT IS TH10 WHIT 10
MAN'S COUNTRY."
Dr. Robert W. 13ngnn.11> Director cf
Branches of the National Association
fofrthe Advancement of Colored
People Speaks to Richmond Audiences.
On lust Tuesday evening, Dr. Rob'..
W. Bagnnll, Director of Branches of
the N. A. A. C. P., delivered an ox>:ellont
address, at Ebonozer Baptist
Church followed by one equally .so. on
Wednesday evening at Mt. Olivet Bapt
ist church of which Rev. J. Andrew
Bcfwler, D. D? is pastor.
Among other timely remarks, D,-.
Bagnall stressed the fact that this is
our country, jUBt as truly as It is the
white man's, by right of birth;, sacrifflca
labor and blood-shed. Ho has fig
ured In every war of this country,
save that with Mexico, from the Revo
llltirrn In tlin Wnflil T?7o..
He quoted p-pcoiftc instances of in
justjco nn<l lynch Inge, which have
been perpetrated not only in the south
land but in Massachusetts -which
boasts of its culturo and democracy,
and in the West, where ono "breathes
free air." Further on, Dr. (Bagnall
stated that the N. A. A. C. P. is not
radical. It is merely aiming to obtain
Justice and to ameliorate conditions
as they now exist. It does this by map
ping out a w,iSe program, which it
socks to carry out by employing efficient,
self-sacrificing .individuals. It
keeps an accurate account of all espeiuljl.turesi
has its books audited by
por&ons not connected with the organi
zat'.ion, and loaves these books open
for public inspection. It was stated
that the N. A. A. C. P. accomplished
more with Iosb expenditure last year,
than any other charitable organization,
wh.ito or black.
The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill has
been successful thus far because of
the untiring, diplomatic work of the
Assoc'at.ion's Executive Secretary,
Jnmes Wohlon Johnson who is otiil
wnvkitic r>n Itn -nnoaircn Piii'tlior
speaking . of the accomplishments of
tlio Association, Dr. Bagnall sa.id that
the Williams Pelonage Case, in Jaspei
Count, Georgia, was unearthed
through the work of thjis organization
when investigating another case.
The value of organization was als??
brought out. In sptKe of the fact that
there are not more Jews in the worl.1
than there are Negroes in the United
States, they are n much greater power
because of their organization. In
order for the individual's work to bo
effective, it must bo organized. Thus
the work of the N. A. A. C. P. Will con
tinue to grow in power and scope, ii*
proportion to the Negro's realization
of the worth of organization.
It might be interesting to note that
Dr. Dagnall is a Virginian, bcxing born
in Norfolk.
