And whereas, our labor is in these cotton and corn fields and rice swamps, and in this frightful hour of the world great war, our sons and husbands are giving their lives in defense of the country we all love so dearly; And whereas, in every forward movement in our national life the Negro has come to the front and share in the advance and crimsoned every field of strife from Boston to ""No Man's Land,"" for principles held sacred by every true American; And whereas, we feel that our lives are unsafe as long as this iniquitous institution exists. We therefore are asking that you use all the power of your great office to prevent similar occurrances and punish the perpetrators of this foul deed and urge that sure and swift justice be meted out to them.
