W.E.B. DuBois “Close Ranks”

As it pertains to our fraternity and the right to vote!

 

Quote:  “Let us not hesitate…close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our white fellow citizens…that are fighting for democracy. We make no ordinary sacrifice, but we make it gladly and willingly with our eyes uplifted to the hills.”
