REV. R. H. FRAZIER, MINISTER
GUEST SPEAKER: CHARLES LOWE
OUTSTANDING CIVIC LEADER
Greetings:
You are invited to attend an important Political Action and
Get-Out-The-Vote NAACP Meeting Sunday evening, 7:30 P. M., November 3,
1968, Pit. Mori ah Primitive Baptist Church, 747 West Trade, Corner West
Trade and Cedar Streets. Rev. R. H. Frazter is the Minister.
We are happy to present as Guest Speaker the outstanding Civic
Leader, Charles Lowe.
This is not the time to stay at home because the election this
year is the most important election in the history of the Negro. Every
Negro is requested to assist in getting all registered black voters to
go to the polls on Election Day and cast their vote. Failure to vote
can set us all back. Come out Sunday evening and let us fight the
politics of hate and join hands to turn out the vote 100 per cent.
We cannot afford to "go fishing" on election day. We cannot give
up our Civil Rights won through long years of a hard fought struggle
for which many noble blacks have died for the Right to Vote. Many
whites have died for the Right of Blacks to Vote.
Election Day is the day of decision.
Don't forget Sunday evening, November 3, 1968, 7:30 P. M.
Mt. Mori ah Primitive Baptist Church, corner West Trade & Cedar Streets.
The focus is on Political Action - Get-Out-The-Vote.
Respectfully,
Rev. T. A. Watkins Kelly M. Alexander
President Executive Secretary
