"Cards of invitation were issued by the administration of the 135th Street Branch Y.M.C.A., for a reunion of the Old Guard - those who were active when the late Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker, then pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, founded the colored work in New York. The memory of the founder was honored Tuesday evening, March 26, with a dinner in the dining hall, and the dedication of the chapel in his honor and the unveiling of a new portrait of him by Aaron Douglass."
