"Hew to the Line"
To-day as never before the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
needs the support of every American who believes in law and order.
We appeal to every right thinking white man and woman to support our fight for the legal rights of the Negro. If our method of legal and constitutional means fails, only chaos can follow.
To every colored man and woman we say - Stand firm! American public opinion will rally to our cause, which is America's cause, if all the forces for justice can be organized to fight together.
If sectional difficulties hinder our advance, we will not retreat!
In every legitimate, lawful way we are going to fight. The harder the opposition, the firmer will be our stand. Lynchings and race riots do not cause us to fear. They only make us more determined to fight on and on until all injustice and violence based on color prejudice is done away with - never to return.
While the present may seem dark to some, the future has never been so bright.
"Hew to the Line, let the chips fall where they may"
Join the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
which strives by every legitimate and lawful means to "Make Eleven Million Americans Physically Free From Peonage, Mentally Free from Ignorance, Politically Free from Disfranchisement and Socially Free from Insult."
