Fort Madison Branch OF THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 16, 1967 Fort Madison, Iowa 52627 DREAM OF FREEDOM There is a dream in the land With its back against the wall. By muddled names and strange - Sometimes the dream is called. ...There are those who claim This dream for theirs alone - A sin for which, we know, They must atone. Unless shared in common Like sunlight and like air The dream will die for lack Of substance anywhere. The dream knows no frontier or tongue The dream, no class or race. The dream cannot be kept secure In any one locked place. The dream today embattled With its back against the wall To save the dream for one It must be saved for ALL. -Langston Hughes REGULAR BRANCH MEMBERSHIP MEETING SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 19, 1967 5:30 PM CITY HALL 8th Street and Avenue E FORT MADISON, IOWA "Brotherhood is no longer simply a religious ideal, but a challenging material fact: for there is no peace but universal peace no enduring prosperity that does not comprehend all mankind." -Edgar White Burrell JOIN THE NAACP _ TODAY University of Iowa Libraries.
