PRESSING PROBLEM
BEFORE AMERICAN
NEGRO IS BALLOT
(Continued from Page One)
found an effective method not only tc
punish the mob, the segregadonalist
and the disfranchiser through eco
nomic boycott, but also a chance to
gain for ourselves new political power
in order to vote our people into free
dom.
But this means nothing unless it
is used with far-reaching intelligence.
We must learn to vote; we must stu
dy democracy and government; we
must not be ashamed, any of us, to
confess our ignorance of the machin
ery of the American government and
of the methods of its political life.
Let us learn what voting means and
for whom to vote and how to vote
ourselves into free, modem, industrial
democracy.

THE WHATNOT COLUMN
(By Robert P. Edwards for The As
sociated Negro Press.)
Who Was Al-Bekri?
Al-Bekri, an eleventh century writ
er, whose description of Western Su
dan was of such importance as to
gain him the title of ‘‘Historian of
Negro Land”, w'as an Arabian of
Ethiopian extraction. It was Al
Bekri who gave to the world the most
I comprehensive description of Ghana,
i a town situated on the banks of the
I Niger, which was a meeting place foi
; commercial caravans from all parts
I of the world. Ghana was also a seat
1 of learning and its schools were the
j most noted of the ancient era.
i When Was Ihe First Colored Y. M.
C. A. Organized?
The first Y. M. C. A. for colored
men was organized in Washington,
D. C., in 1873; but like others of its
kind was not of long duration, and it
was not until 1876 that the work for
colored men and boys wras seriously
considered. Dr. Stew'art Robinson, a
Presbyterian minister of Louisville,
Ky., presented the claims for colored
men’s work so eloquently that Sir
George Williams, founder of Y. M. C.
A. work, contributed $100 to the ap
peal for funds'. Later JDr. Henry
Brown of Oberlin was appointed sec
retary of the international committee
to organize associations for colored
men.
What Compromise Grew Out of the
Slavery Question Raised When Cali
fornia Was Admitted to Statehood?
In opposition to the demands of the
pro-slavery radicals, the anti-slavery
radicals insisted upon (1) that the
Wilmot Proviso apply to all present
and future territories; (2) abolition
of slavery in the District of Colum
bia; (3) the prohibition of all inter
state traffic in slaves. Henry Clay
induced the two factions to com
promiser" and five measures were
adopted (1) establishing territorial
governments of Utah and New Mex
iico with no reference to slavery, (2)
admitting California as a free! state,
and (3) compensating Texas for her
New Mexico claim. The compromise
was opposed by President Taylor, but
upon his death, Millard Fillmore, the
suceeding president, gave his signa
ture to them all.
ST. JOHN’S PABTIST CHURCH
Tabor Hall, Twenty-fourth and
Patrick.
St. John’s Baptist Church, recently
organized and meeting temporarily in
the Knights of Tabor Hall, Twenty
fourth and Patrick avenue, held inter
esting services last Sunday. The pas
tor, the Rev. E. H. McDonald, preach
ed morning and evening and at the
evening service administered the Holy
Communion. Pastor and people are
encouraged by (he outlook. Services

SEGREGATION OF
SCHOOL CHILDREN
(Continued from Page One)
allowed to teach white children. This
is the critical question in segregation:
Whether the colored teacher shall
( have the right to teach all children
of any given school district, like any

"On this question, the National As

ideal, takes its stand for the colored
teacher’s right to teach in any public
school regardless of the color of the
