Negroes have played an important role in the history of France, a fact which should be publicized dur ing Negro History Week, which is to be observed Feb. 6-13. Though a hard, imperialistic power over her Negro subjects in Africa, France has permitted a measure of recognition for some of the leaders of her subject peoples. One of the mo$t faithful and capable of the Negro leaders was Governor-General Felix Eboue of French Equatorial Africa, who died May 17, 1944. It was he who enabled Gen. Charles de Gaulle to fight back against the Axis powers from a protected base of operation in Africa during World War II. Eboue became governor general in Januaiy, 1941. He demon strated such a flair for adminis trative work that one citation said of him, “He had occasion to prove time and again that he possessed to the highest degree all the char acteristics of a leader ... he gave French Equatorial Africa one of the sources of its present wealth ... he had Africans try the cul tivation of cotton and obtained an overwhelming success.” Born Dec. 26, 1884, Eboue was assistant administrator of French Equatorial Africa in 1910, rose to administrator in January, 1917; became chief administrator, on Dec. 31, 1930; titular governor, Dec. 4, 1936, and governor gen eral, Dec. 10, 1940. Under his leadership, the whole of French Equatorial Africa and the Cameroon rallied to the Al lied cause in August, 1941. He was an officer of the Legion of Honor, holder of many decora tions and was made a companion of the Order of Liberation by Gen. de Gaulle at Brazzaville on July 14, 1941, the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille which liberated the French from the voke of bondage. Negro Appointed Physician to Pliilly Coroner PHILADELPHIA. (ANP). Dr. C. G. Wooding, well-known path ologist, was sworn in as coi'oner’s physician last Monday at a sal ary of $3,500 a year. This is the first time that a Negro has held this position in Pennsylvania. Dr. Wooding’s appointment came through the recommenda tion of William Upshur, leader of the 30th ward, and William Meade, Republican city chairman. Meade here insisted on the ap pointment of a Negro to this post and gave the appointment to Upshur. ----- — \ Jam. Gjqji (JwWltl j By Freddie Powell.
