Beschreibung

Single sheet folded into 4 pages, making a small booklet. Printed on card stock. A program for an event held by what appears to have been an African American fraternal or social organization. The event was held May 15th, 1919. The event started at 8:45 pm, with food served promptly at 9:30. The invocation was led by Reverend E.M. Cohron, and it appears the poem, "At the Closed Gates of Justice," by James D. Corrothers was read, cited by its first line "To be a Negro on a Day Like This." Another address, "Where Ethiopia Should Stretch Forth Her Hands," was also given. Honorary members of Progressive Numbers are listed, including Rev. J.A. Gregg, Richard B. Harrison and Clarence Cameron White. List of last names and first initials of 12 members also present. While we could find nothing identifying this organization, its motto is "Onward, Upward" and its colors are lavender and cream. GOOD condition. Moderate toning and minor soiling. Heavy offsetting to the rear panel. Minor edgewear. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 019692
