John Wesley Dobbs an African American activist based in Atlanta worked for thirty-two years as a railway mail clerk and served for almost as long Grand Master of the Prince Hall Masons of Georgia.

According to his entry in the New Georgia Encyclopedia Martin Luther King Jr. spoke at his funeral and Thurgood Marshall was a pallbearer. In the present address Dobbs celebrates January 1 as Emancipation Day mentioning the same day in 1863 when the Emancipation Proclamation was officially issued by President Lincoln. He details the long history of African Americans in the New World beginning with Alonzo Pietro of the Columbus expedition. He thereafter expounds upon the importance of African Americans in the history of the country with paragraphs focused on assertions such as "We have helped to build America" "We have bled and died for American Democracy" "We have made progress in education" and more. He also speaks about African-American service in the Civil War mentions educators such as Booker T. Washington J.B. Watson and Fletcher Henderson.
