Greetings:
It is with great pleasure that I extend congratulations to the Harrisonburg. Rockingham County Branch of the NAACP on the occasion of your 2nd
Annual Freedom Fund Banquet, "Where We've Been and Where We 're
Going."
I find this year's theme to be an especially pertinent one, as 2004 is a
presidential election year. It is vital that we motivate all people to exercise
the essential right to vote, as people of color will continue to be
disenfranchised, robbed of resources and benefits, and embroiled in
stereotypes until our campaign of voter education, voter registration and
voter mobilization helps us to make our opinions known at the polls.
Furthermore, we must ensure that our young people are indoctrinated with ·
the knowledge and the passion for •justice to continue our work into future
generations. We must do everything possible to pass on the torch of our
dedication to ensuring the civil rights and civil liberties of all people.
I would like to extend special congratulations on this event to Monica
Robinson , President of the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Branch, Dr. John
Singer of Madison University, tonight's guest speaker, and every other
individual who worked to make tonight possible. As always your hard work
is evident and appreciated. It is my hope that this banquet will be a time of
both education and enjoyment for everyone involved.
Sincerely,
Preside

me to inform you that, regrettably, I will be unable to join you due to

visiting the Harrisonburg & Rockingham County Branch soon.

�To our Members, Supporters, and Friends,
I would like to begin by thanking each person here today for being an integral part of our Second Annual Freedom Fund Banquet. 2004 has been
and is a critical year personally, locally, and nationally. Our theme: Where
We've Been and Where We're Going says a lot about our organiza tion. We, as a people, need to reflect on the changing pace of American
life and where that change will lead us. Voting allows us to have a voice
in ... "Where We Are Going."
Living in a time of unrest and uncertainty has made me more aware of the
freedoms that so many of us take for granted. Being socially conscious
and aware is the duty of all citizens of the United States of America. We,
as citizens, must learn to use our voices and our minds to ensure that
equality is achieved for all. With equality comes religious, economic, political and educational freedom. These are freedoms that many other nations
dream of.
Over the last two years we have sought to address and protect the political
interests of African-Americans, poor, disenfranchised and other minority
groups. We will continue in our quest to educate the community on the
importance of voting. We will continue to speak with candidates on issues
concerning our community. But most importantly we will work for the enactment of municipal, state and federal legislation designed to improve the
educational, political and economic status of minority groups.
Our hope is that, when you leave our banquet today, you will have reflected on where we have been as a nation, as a people, as individuals,
and where those choices and endeavors will lead us. Seek to fulfill the
dreams of our ancestors and to forge a land of equality for generations to
come. Today I challenge you to keep the flames of freedom burning
bright.
I am Forever embracing the struggle, Forever
remembering the past, Forever fighting
against injustice, and Forever carrying the
torch. Let Freedom Ring!
With warmest regards,
'-7l4onica 9l.obinson

�BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM
Lift every voice and sing,
till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of
liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the
rolling sea.
We have come over a way that
with tears have been watered
'
We have come, treading our path
through the blood of the slaughtered,
out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last
where the white gleam
of our bright star is cast.
Sing a song full of the faith
that the
dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope
that the present has brought
us;
facing the rising sun of our
new day begun,
let us march on till victory is
won.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus
far on the way;
thou who hast by thy might led
us into the light,
keep us forever in the path, we
pray.
Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod, .
felt in the days when hope
unborn had died;
yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet ·
come to the place
for which our fathers died?
Lest our feet stray from the
places, our God,where we met
thee;
lest our hearts drunk with the
wine of the world,we forget thee,
shadowed beneath thy hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God,
true to our native land.
�LITANY
Let us remember that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding". (Psalm 111:10)
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
God , prepare minds and souls to be your vessels, ever respectful and
loving of others and ouselves.
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
May we strive for unity in the family, community, nation and race.
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
To love and care, to share and clothe, to feed and nurture, to counsel
and teach, to be committed to the health and well-being our our communities.
·
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
0, God , lead our communities to wholesome spiritual, social, political
and financial action.
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
Lord , lift us out of complacency. Remove all hatred, animosity and anger from our souls. Envelop us in your undying love.
Response: Lord God, Giver of wisdom, hear our prayer.
Open our eyes that we may see the needs of your people; open our
hearts and souls that we may serve with dignity and in peace.

An account of the resource
The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection consists of over 500 items that were digitized to support the development and design of the 2022 exhibit, Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Mary Awkard Fairfax. The series consists of photographs and some historical documents from Mary Awkard Fairfax’s personal collection and her family’s papers (1939–2012), shared with the Celebrating Simms project by Mrs. Fairfax’s niece, Mary Ann Smith-Tucker. The Mary Awkard Fairfax Collection is a post-custodial collection, meaning that it consists entirely of digitized materials and that all original materials were returned to the custody of their original owners immediately after being digitized.
