LIBERATOR OF 1842
GIVEN TO LIBERTY OF
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY
Atlanta, Georgia, January 11.—
Special—The Atlanta University Li
brary has just received as a gift from
Oswald Garrison Villard, a copy of
the Liberator of May, 27, 1842. Mr.
Villard is a grandson of the great abo
lutionist, William Lloyd Garrison,
the high-minded idealist who provid
ed the chief impetus of the Abolition
movement. Garrison’s importance as
a dominating figure in starting the
campaign against slavery is conceded
by historians.
The Liberator, the mouthpiece of
the Abolition movement and of the
more intelligent colored people, was
first published on January 1, 1831, just
one hundred and four years ago. This
is one of the three notable events in
the history of the anti-slavery contro
versy. The first number of the Lib
erator contained an ‘“Address to the
Public” which sounded the keynote of
Garrison’s career; “I shall contend
for the immediate enfranchisement of
our slave population—I will be as
harsh as truth and as uncompromising
as justice on the subject—I do not
wish to think, or speak, or write with
moderation—I am in earnest—I will
not equivocate—I will not retreat a
single inch and I will be heard!”
The Liberator was voluntarily dis
continued by Garrison in 1865.
MINISTER RAPS “IMITATION OF
LIFE” AS SUBTLE PROPAGANDA
---
Cleveland, O., Jan- 25.—Before one
of the largest congregations ever
massed at a Sunday morning service
at historic Mt. Zion Temple Congrega
tional church, Rev Horace White, pas
tor, flayed the cyurrent Universal film
success, “Imitation of Life,” as the
most subtle bit of propaganda recently
from Hollywood against the American
Negro and his fight to prove his suf
ficiency and fitness as an American
citizen.
Rev. White’s criticism came on the
eve of the third successive weekly run
of this photoplay at the Alhambra
theatre following a one week’s stay
down town. The picture, starring
Louise Beavers and Fredi Washington,
has established somewhat of a local
record; crowds have surged in and out
of the theater fo? er for the past two
weeks and on many occasions not even
standing room has been available. The
theatre management has tried to ac
commodate its clients by advising
matinee attendance.
In view of this wide interest Rev.
tor, flayed the current Universal film
had caught the fancy of so many
theatre-goers. He saw it twice and
then read the Fannie Hurst novel
from which it was adapted. At
last week’s services he announced
that his sermon for the following
week would be on “Imitation of Life.”
The local press played it up during
the week. Sunday morning the big
gest crowd in many a Sunday came
out in the rain to hear the message
Play a Paradox
“The picture at first struck me as
being quite impressive. It was not al
together true to life, it certainly was
entertaining and the characters were
splendidly costumed. Upon second
thought, however, I felt that there was
something definitely real and also
something definitely unreal about the
performance. Jt was no more than its
I title suggested—a mere imitation of
life. I observed that the producer had
displayed some courage, which is
more than they usually do, but not
enough for the production to be en
tirely realistic. Unfortunately, he had
to keep an eye upon the box-office.
Consequently, he sought to preserve
intact the white man’s concepts of so
cial equality; but in so doing he ig
nored the many common human pas
sions, sorrows and sufferings the in
tensity of which mfakes man for the
moment forgetful of social and anti
social barriers and prejudices.”
What could have been more real
istic or even human, he pleaded to his
audience, than for Miss Bea, the white j
mother made rich by Delilah’s ingen-1
uity, to suggest that her daughter and
NATIONAL RECOVERv
ADMINISTRATION
School Calls .3,000 Jobless In Balti
more Under FERA Adult
Education Program.
By Edgar G. Brown
School bells in Baltimore are peal
ing daily for over 3,000 adult persons
who ordinarily would not answer their
call, according to Davis E. Weglein,
superintendent of public instruction.
They are among the unemployed.
The attack on idditeracy began a
year ago. Funds were provided by the
FERA, of which Harry L. Hopkins is
Administrator, to employ teachers.
These teachers in turn were placed
at the disposal of adults desiring a
higher plane of learning while waiting
for jobs or for persons wanting col
legiate education after high school
training.
Today, in the State of Maryland, as
all over the country, grandpa can ac
company his grandchildren to the
schoolhouse. He can choose the sub
ject he likes best (provided it will be
of some use to him and meets the ap
proval of the Department of Educa
tion). Mother, too, may take advan
tage of this free training and at
tend classes n parent education. Her
youngest child, not yet ready for
school, may begin his readin’ and
writin’ in the e.ght nursery schools
scattered throughout the city.
Dr. Weglein said: “As long as the
funds are provided we will continue to
provide education for any group of
adults desirous of learning. We feel
that it is a noble work for it not only
combats illiteracy, but gives employ
ment to our teachers and boosts the
morale of the students.”
Dr. Weglein said that 152 teachers
had been employed in the past year
and more would be given jobs as stu
dent enrollment increased. He said
the largest group to take advantage of
free training was in the general edu
cational field, where such subjects as
home economies and the industrial
arts are taught. There are 1,948 stu
dents attending these classes, rang
ing in age from sixteen to sixty.
Nearly 800 persons, 300 white and
500 colored, in Baltimore, are pursu
ing college courses. Five hundred
mothers are enrolled in the parent
education classes. Although most of
the classes are at night or in the
early evening, they are in no way
connected with regular night public
schools. »
“It is interesting to note,” said Mr.
Martin M. Hihns, director of evening
Peola, Delilah’s lone child, be sent a
way together to some good school
rather than alone to some good Col
ored school ? At the beginning of the
funeral procession what could have
been more natural than for M ss Bea
i to have taken Peola into her arms
and onto the same seat in her car with
j the rest of her party rather than per
i m.t her to sit with the chauffeur?
In other words, there is definite
•Topaganda against the negro. Rev.
i White summarized these points under
three heads. In the first place, “An
• Imitation of Life’’ teaches that we are
insufficient as Negroes to make our
contribution to American citizenship;
I in the second place, it stresses the in
ference that Negroes are by prefer
ence subserviently attached to white
people, leaving the problems of the
world to J»e solved by others; and in
the third place, it pictures the negro
as content to go to heaveen in all his
glory.
The first point, according to Rev.
White, represents the most subtle bit
of propaganda in the photoplay. It is
the psychology of an inferiority com
plex, indicating that the Negro as
such is socially and intellectually un
fit to make his contribution to society
and that before he ever will be in a
position to do so the Negro’s chief aim
should be “to be white,” to emulate,
if unable to assimilate, the white
man’s mental, social and ethical atti
tudes.
“We must combat this type of
mechanical psycholog;',” asserted Rev.
White in a pleading and commanding
voice. “It is just what the white man
wants us to be,—weak, flimsy, and
contented. Perhaps, this psychology
characterized the masses of Negroes
in the 19th century. My message to
the young people of this country is
for you to forget the lessons inferior
ity complex which your elders have so
well learned and to free yourselves of
the incidents and experiences inherent
in the development of such a complex.
Pe®la Is Unreal
“Pec-la is unrealistic, a myth. There
are no such Negroes who would give
up wealth and respect simply to be a
white cashier. Thousands and thous
ands of fair complexioned Negroes go
over to the other side each year for
the sake of better economic livelihood,
but there are millions of other fair
ones who remain among us proud of
their affinity and who contradict each
day of their life the doctrine that the
white man is superior simiply because
he is white.
Rev. White paused for a mpment.
Then he directed the attention of his
ccngregaton to the scene where Miss
-——■—
schools and the FERA emergency
educational program in Baltimore,
“There are more colored unemployed
taking advantage of the college work
offered by the federal government,
notwithstanding the fact these oppor
tunities were not available for them
until this school year, due to our in
ability to find suitable housing facili
ties.”
The following table shows the bene
fits which have come to unemployed
teachers under the FERA adult edu
cational program in Baltimore for
both races:
Adult educational teachers now em
ployed—white, 41; colored 21.
Parental teachers—white, 12; cal
ored 5.
Nursery school teachers—white, 20;
colored, 10.
College center teachers—white, 20;
colored, 23.
Total—white, 93; colored, 59.
‘INSULT ALL
NEGRO PATRONS’
Are Orders Of New York Department
Store Owners To Their
White Employees.
New York.—(CNA>—Employees of
Ohrbach’s and Klein’s, two of New
York’s largest department stores, are
instructed by the store managers to
“insult all Negro patrons, so they
won’t come back again”. This was re
vealed last week in an interview with
several employees of these two stores
who are on a five-week old strike
against the inhuman conditions under
which they are forced to work.
The principal demands of the strik
ers are for higher wages and union
recognition. The strike is being led
by the Office Workers Union compos
ed of both Negro and white workers.
Efforts of the store officials and the
Regional labor board to break the
strike and split the ranks of the
workers have been unsuccessful. The
Office Workers Union is opposed to all
discrimination against Negroes.
Prominent in the leadership of the
strike is George Carter, Negro work
er of Harlem, who has been arrested
and beaten up by the police for his
militant activity.
Bea, Delilah and Elmer are planning
to incorporate their pancake industry.
The scene closes with Elmer’s laconic
characterization of Delilah, “Once a
pancake, always a pancake!!” “Deli
lah is not a 20th century; Negro,” con
tinued the minister- “She’s a thing of
the past. She represents the Negro
as an under dog. And she is subser
vient because she wants to be and
not because of the white man. Such
a psychology shows that the Negro
is unfit for proving his right to Amer
ican citizenship.”
Tennesseans Confer
About Race Matters
Sixteenth Annual Meeting of State
Interracial Commission Held
In Nashville.
Nashville, Tennessee, Jan. 26.—In
the midst of the worst blizzard of the
season, a representative group of in
terracial leaders met here Tuesday
morning and afternoon in the six
teenth annual conference of the Ten
nessee Interracial Commission. Health
education, interracial cooperation in
other fields, and the fight against mob
violence were among the topics dis
cussed.
W. E. Turner, of the State Depart
ment of Education, reported progress
in the improvement of Negro schools.
Dr. Robert E. White, of the State
Department of Health, gave a dis
couraging picture of health conditions
among Negroes and stressed the need !
of better public health facilities to
deal with these conditions. The Negro
death rate in Tennessee, he stated, is
practically equal to the birth rate.
The Negro death rate from tuberculo
sis is two and a half times that of
white people, and their infant mortal
ity is twice as high.
Rev. T. C. Barr reported on church
efforts for better race relations, and
Mrs. J. D. Charis, Mrs. Frankie Pierce,
and Miss Grace Eaton, all of Nash
ville, told of interracial work among
women. The conference was ad
dressed also by President W. J. Hale
of A. & I. State College, Dr. L. L.
Patton of Chattanooga, and Dr. Alva
W. Taylor of Vanderbilt Universityi
Resolutions were adopted commending
Governor McAllister and the sheriff of
Bedford county for their vigorous
and effective stand against the Shelby
ville meb.
The following officers were elected
to serve during 1935: President, Rev.
T. C. Barr; vice president, Rev. Day
ton A. Dobbs; executive secretaries,
J. D. Burton and Robert E. Clay; re
cording secretary, Rev. J. D. Barber;
treasurer, B. L. Sadler.
Emergency Relief
Administration
Fire FERA Nursery Schools For
Colored Children In West
Virginia
Announcement was made this week
to Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Emer
gency Relief Administrator, by the
State supervisor that five FERA nur
sery schools for colored children are
operating in West Virginia.
Two nursery schools are located in
houses formerly used by the local coal
company in East Beckley and Morgan
town. The colored Masonic Hall in
Huntington has been provided for the,
use of another of these schools. In
Hinton, the Baptist Church is the lo
caton for the nursery project. One of
the teacher’s cottages in Charleston
has been turned over to the author
ities for the colored nursery school.
Mrs. A. L. Spaulding, Negro Ad
visor to the West Virginia Relief Ad
ministration, was high in her praise
of the work being done for children
under four years of age through these
recently-established nursery schools
for under-privileged children in West
Virginia.
