Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, Vol. 1 of 2: A Negro Order Organized August 1, 1861 in the City of Louisville, Ky And here let me say, while we have no discussion in our ranks about our legality as an order, or from whom we obtained our charter, or of our right to assemble in State or National Grand bodies on account of our color, we affirm that none of these questions disturb us, for we have accepted the badge of distinction, and therefore are not elbowing our way into any white organization; we claim to be purely Negroes and of Negro origin.
