In honour of Abraham Lincoln's birthday, The Critics (an organisation of "young men and women interested in the study of Negro literature") hosted an interracial luncheon for ninety people. The executive secretary of the service bureau for education in human relations at Columbia University, Mrs. Rachel Davis DuBois, addressed those in attendance. She argued that there were no fundamental differences between the races.
