Often be coming successful citizens in their respective communities caused many to believe that man’s intelligence did not depend on color. ' Carter G. Woodson says, “In Cincinnati, where, as a group, the Negroes had their best op portunity, many made rapid strides forward. By 1840 the Ne groes of this city had acquired $228,000 of real estate. One Ne gro was worth $6,000; another, who had purchased himself and his family for $5,000 a few years prior to 1840 was worth $1,000. Another Negro paid $5,000 for himself and family and bought a home worth from $800 to $1,000. A freedman who was a slave until he was 24 years of age, then had two lots worth $10,000, paid a tax of $40, and had 320 acres of land in Mercer County, Ohio. His estate altogether was worth about $12,000 or $15,000. A woman who was a salve until she was thirty then had property worth $2,000. Another Negro who was on the auction block in 1832, had spent $2,600 purchas ing himself and family. He had bought two brick houses, valued at $6,000, and 560 acres of land in Mercer County, Ohio, said to be worth $2,500.” These figures may not seem so outstanding now but years ago they were considered quite huge sums of money. We can see from this that in spite of all of the difficulties, some Negroes fought their vway out. I was listening, Friday, to one of the greatest contemporary hu manitarians, the 36-year-old Mayor Humphrey of Minneapolis, ' < ” ” _ ” ” " ■ ■ ■' •' • •' ■ •1 ■' ' ■ ■' • ■' - J m ® 'm • • »r*“*r Social Briefs By Basilia Bell LEST WE FORGET Mrs. Odeasa Johnson, 1310 A street ia in St. Elizabeth hospital.

Ricks of Minn., who in just one year has made Minenapolis one of the most liberal cities in the country. In one year, he has helped to pass the F.E.P;C. (Fair Employ ment Practices Commission) and many, many other important bills. He said Friday that many op portunities have been open to Negroes in Minneapolis and Ne groes are contributing greatly to the progress of their city. If we^can’t get anyone else to help us, we„ Negroes, here in Lincoln, should get behind our officials and see that we have a fair employment bill passed. Why should a Negro girl with good sales ability have to scrub floors?
