Fort Madison, Branch OF THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NEWSLETTER JUNE 12, 1969 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING SUNDAY - JUNE 15, 1969 5:30 PM - CITY HALL - COUNCIL ROOMS REGULAR MEMBERSHIP MEETING SUNDAY JUNE 15, 1969 6:30 PM - CITY HALL - COUNCIL ROOMS The Fort Madison, NAACP NEWSLETTER, is six years old, as we send out this issue. The first Branch publication in Iowa, it has gone out every month with the exception of two. During the first two years of its existence, we sent out as many as four issues a month and can sit back and laugh at the time it took us to make our "deadlines". We hope, however, that it has served the purpose for which it was intended,...to keep everyone informed. Perhaps, with your continued support, we will see this Branch communication into its seventh year! In June of 1963, Medgar Evers, Mississippi Field Secretary of the NAACP, was murdered. He was shot in the back as he returned home. In June of 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was also shot and killed. To these two..., and the many others who have lost their lives because they dared to be concerned and "act", the only monument can be the dedication of day to day effort to make justice and equality of opportunity for all men, a reality. ..."It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows tin the end, the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt Don't forget!!! JULIAN BOND will be in Fort Madison, Saturday - June 14th at 7PM in the Junior High School Auditorium. Hope to see you there! We still hear the statement being made..., that the "civil rights movement is dead." Far from University of Iowa LIbraries. Iowa Women's Archives
