Additional Details

Garvey exhorts the head of his Detroit branch to do more for the cause: "As an Organization striving to lift the blacks of the world to that height of recognition and self-respect, we should co-operate among ourselves. . . . We are expecting nothing but the best from the Detroit Division as much as we do expect from every loyal Division."
