We commend the parents of these graduates for their sacrifice and perseverance, thereby making it possible for these graduates to reach the desired goal.Resolved, That we deplore the steady increase of lynchlngs and the continued apathy of the United States government in not enforcing the constitution even when women and children are being ■p i lynched. As it is known the United States i ^government does anything it deems best the protection of American citizens, act 6 andL others similar of the constitution make it possible for the government to prevent lynchlngs without state legislation. That we extend to the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People thanks for Its great work In protecting and advancing the rights of our peopie.As we carefully look with microscopic eyes over the platforms of the two great political parties in our country we see no solution of our great American problem. We beg every woman here and at home connected with this body to pray, labor and work, above all, urging them to stand united in the solving of our own problem.Miss Roberta J. Dunbar, chairman; Mrs. Agnes Adams, Mrs. Ernestine Ross, Miss Elizabeth A. Mlckens, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, secretary.
