t "■ -- LISTEN TO THIS By HOBART T. MITCHELL ***** W. E. B. DuBois was seven teen years of age when he en tered Fisk university. Louis Tom kins Wright entered Harvard Me dical school at the age of twenty years. By the census of 1781, there were in Virginia 12,866 free Ne groes. The Georgia State Committee on Race cooperation, composed of white women, representing wo men’s organizations of that state, said in 1921; “We realize that the race question is one of the causes of lawlessness, strife, and unrest. Therefore, we propose to face it squarely, honestly, anrV without prejudice, that righteous ness and justice may be secured for all people. The beginning of our Wednesday night prayer meetings—A manu script preserved in the library of the Massachusetts Historical So ciety, Cotton Mather, in the year of 1693 wrote as follows: Besides the other praying pious meetings which I have been continual serv ing in oux neighborhood, a little after this period a company of poor Negroes ,of their own accord, addressed me, for countenance to a decision which., they had, of erecting such a meeting for the welfare of their miserable nation, that were servants among us. Father Divine, whose followers are said to number more than ten million, has placed the word “PEACE” on mare tongues than any man in the world—General Robert E. lee, emancipated his servants within eight days after tho proclamation was issued. On page 251, The Negro in our History, by Carter G. Woodson, Ph.D. wrote: Most Negroes who sat in Congress during the eigh ties and ni neties, had more formal education than the late V arren G. Haring ex-president of the United States. In 1860 there were Negro men of voting age in New Hampshire, 149: in Vermont, 194, in Massa chusetts, 2,512; and in New York 12,989 who could vote and DID. Who was the first Christian con | vert in Europe? (Acta XVI, 14). I What emperor banished all the Jews from Rome? (Acts XVIII, 2) Who was the first Apostle to raise r dead person to life? (Acts IX, 1 40). __ On November 23, 1861, a Con federate parade of soldiers in New Orleans. A regiment of free Ne gro soldiers also took part in this same parade. The Picayune (new spaper) writes of a review on Feb ruary 9, 1862: We pay deserved compliment to the company of free men of color, all dressed, well drilled, and comfortably uniformed. Most of these companies have pro vided themselves with arms unaid ed by the administration. Matt Henson, a Negro, a mem ber of the Perry North Pole Ex pedition, was the FIRST HUMAN BEING TO STAND ON THE NORTH POLE. Maryville, South Carolina, 1936 This town, which helds its charter sinco reconstruction with a colored mayor, a town council and one po liceman, is no longer colored, since tho last legislature abolished its charter because whites were mov ing in. During its half century as a municipality under the control of Negroes the jail was almost un used. Ira M. Roger of Charleston introduced the bill in the legisla ture that dissolved the charter. Entire regiments of Negro troops, during the World’s War, were cited for exceptional valor and decorated with the Croix de Guerre-d.be 369th, tho 371st, and the 372nd; while groups of officers and men of the 365th, 366th, 368th tho 370th and t ho first battalion of the 367th were also decorated. At the beginning of the nine teenth century, one bough', an av erage slave for $200; while in 1866 tho price ranged from $1,400 to ; $2,000. From rel ahle sources comes the estimate that Harlem (where most of the colored people live New York City) has 25,000 visitors from all parts of the world each year.

The il lustrious grandpappy of the Kid happened to be none other than Anvil Hardrock who snitched his '“monicker" from being the strong helper around the village black smith shop of a little town of Rocky Mountain. Feats of axle lifting and carrying bags of cement for miles was quite common gos sip around the village community. The wife Mrs. Heavy Hardrock formerly the Miss Round Stone more than a weakling in her own right and the Best Monday to Saturday tubster in the Village; could pack her weight in P and G soap and stare hto her daily oc cupations with due regularity.
