                <text>A house fire is being extinguished in an African American neighborhood, as a result of the Springfield Race Riot of 1908. On August 14, 1908, a white mob approached the Springfield city jail demanding two African American men who were reported to have committed crimes against white citizens.  The rioting began when the mob figured out that the two men had already been removed from the city by the police. Two African Americans were killed, several businesses were destroyed, and many homes were burned before the state militia intervened.</text>

&lt;p align="center"&gt;The Workingmen's Mutual Aid Society of Foggia to the people of the American Union.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;FOGGIA, May 8, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;BROTHERS OF AMERICA: We comprehend the sorrow that afflicts you in the triumphant hour of your humane cause. When Abraham Lincoln, your glorious helmsman of liberty, was struck down by the cruel hand of a vile assassin your generous souls were filled with mourning. The sad news reaches us in Italy like the messenger of a day fatal to the destinies of a people, and every true Italian heart was saddened by its coming. Even in the humble families of the working men of Foggia the deepest grief was felt, and a shrill cry arose for the extermination of the vampires of humanity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Brothers: be consoled by the thought that Abraham Lincoln, in the greatest trials, showed himself something more than the President of a transatlantic republic, and that the assassin's pistol was only the instrument of the dealers in human flesh. Lincoln's tomb with you, and Garibaldi's misfortunes with us, will be known in history as the irrevocable decrees of reason against barbarism and tyranny; but you will let future ages know the good intentions of the two illustrious victims. Be brave, then, brothers of America, in your desolation, and defend the sepulchre where the secret of the emancipation of all the slaves in the world lies buried.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;FERDINAND CIPRO,&lt;br /&gt; President.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Which day the lord provost stated that, before proceeding to the ordinary business, he would propose "that the council enter on their minutes an expresion of the sorrow and indignation which pervaded this city on receiving the intelligence that the President of the United States of America had been murdered, and the life of one of their most distinguished statesmen (Mr. Seward) endangered by the hands of assassins; and also of the earnest sympathy of the council and community with the government and people of the United States." Which proposal was unanimously agreed to; and the council directed a copy of this resolution, under the common seal of the city, to be signed by the lord provost, and transmitted to the minister in this country of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At Aberdeen, and within the Trinity Hall there, the ninth day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-five.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the convener court representing the seven incorporated trades of the city of Aberdeen, North Britain, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That this cout expresses its sorrow and indignation at the act of atrocity lately committed on President L&lt;small&gt;INCOLN&lt;/small&gt;, of the United States of America, and its sympathy with the government and people of those States in their peculiar circumstances, and its hope that, under Providence, the establishment of peace there, and harmony between them and the whole world, will soon be promoted.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; This court cannot separate without expressing its liveliest feeling and sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and family, and prays that the worthy example of her husband will prove a straight-forward and honest course is alike honorable and worthy of imitation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed in name and by appointment of the meeting, and the seal of the court appended hereto by men, convener of said court.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;To all the Free Masons of the Grand Lodge of New York, by their brothers the United Benefactors of Gentilly.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;MOST ILLUSTRIOUS BROTHERS: The holy cause of liberty has one martyr more. The secular work of emancipation of the human race began the day when tyranny took the place of fraternity between the strong and the weak; was continued in the Parthenon and on Calvary; then by reform and revolution has finally gained a new victory in the United States, where again the blood of the just has been shed. It is one of the laws of human development that no change can be effected in the social or political order without terrible convulsions, and at the sacrifice of the most precious lives. A victim of his devotion to the eternal principles of justice and truth, the very illustrious brother, Abraham Lincoln, has given his life for the love of his country and his fellow-creatures, thus setting the most noble example a masonic brother can give to his brethren---&lt;em&gt;transiit benefiaciendo&lt;/em&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The horrid crime that felled him in the hour of victory has carried pain and consternation into every heart. Let us mourn! Free masonry has suffered an irreparable loss. Let us mourn! For persecuted virtue only triumphs after long and frightful struggles, and after most cruel sacrifices.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;But let us hope that the blood of Abraham Lincoln has not been shed in vain. The redeemer of the black race will hereafter be numbered among the benefactors of the human race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Brothers, you will complete the work of the great and generous citizen, whose name will shine in history by the side of that of Washington; the founder and restorer of the American Union will go down to posterity together. Courage, brothers, courage! Slavery of the body is conquered ; but slavery of the soul, the worst kind of servitude, yet remains. Let us face it boldly; we in the old continent, you in the new. Let us struggle to destroy the ignorance and prejudices that yet enslave the human mind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Our zeal in effecting the complete emancipation of the human race is the greatest and most worthy homage we can render to the memory of the eminent man whose premature and tragic end is now deplored by all free masonry.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Brethren of the Grand Lodge of New York, receive the sincere expression of our ardent sympathy. Let our hearts form a chain of union. Fraternity knows no distance; let us stretch our hands across the Atlantic. Our thought is in you, as yours is in us.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your devoted brothers of the United Benefactors.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
