WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN!
TODAY!

The National Convention will be held in Los Angeles, California, July 4 - 9, 1966. Headquarters for the convention will be the Los Angeles Statler Hilton. Information regarding the sessions which have been planned, make them sound very interesting. mr. Orville Woods was selected by the Branch, at the last meeting, to attend as a delegate from this branch.

1966 IS CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION YEAR...and all of us should watch closely all of the candidates which will be representing us,...after the election is over. Know the issues...and each candidates views,...then, support the candidate by voting for him or her, on election day. Make YOUR VOTE COUNT,...whether its on the state, local or federal level.

We are still in the process of enlisting new members and renewing expired memberships. Help us continue our work, by sending in your membership, today! Until the day comes when there is secure knowledge that things such as the shooting of James Meredith, the refusal to bury PFC Jimmy Williams in a Wetumpka, Ala. cemetery, and the discriminatory practices which continue to ' crop' up in all areas of life and in this country will no longer take place,...then, and only then,...can we relax...for then, we shall no longer be in quest of a dream,...it will have been realized.

'The greatest work has always gone hand in hand with the most fervent moral purpose.
Sidney Lanie

DID YOU KNOW...?
Negroes and Negro-Indian families helped to found what is now the largest city in the West! Established for the purpose of growing food for the military, it was known as El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora La Reina de Los Angeles. Just as they were among the first families of the New Mexico Spanish colonies, they were literally the first families of Los Angeles.
Every Unbranded, unclaimed, wandering animal as well as men who were independent, free and wearing no man's brand is known as a maverick because of a careless Negro cowboy who failed to keep track of the cattle of Samuel A. Maverick.
