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.

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 Hatties of Kid Concrete"
To introduce this famous chara
' cter, it will be necessary to go
back to days before the Civil war
and trace the social strained blood
ol' the “Hardrock” family. 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.
After years of married life and
toil, a son was born on Friday the
13th bringing the omen of luck
that was otherwise and strenght
the latter from shade of his ebony
hue commonly called “Crow Col
or." What a baby. What a boy.
Tho next door neighbor complain
ed of sun eclipse on her southern
exposer porch until she was the
ned heir to the Hardrock family
clean clothes recipes. As Junior
grew up he quickly established
himself as a boy wonder of weight
and athelitic feats; one of his pet
numbers were to move the teams’
out-door basketball posts up with
out the aid of pick and shovel.
Even with supernatural feats of
strength his love was in the same
terms. Finally after careful prick
and consideration, the lass of 'his
choice came along. The invitations
read, Mr. Junior Hardrock and
Miss Always Lovewell.
Of course after a little schooling,
the economic chances of the newly
wed courple were a little better
than Ma and Pa, so we find Mr.
Junior Ilardroek doing the Big
Apple with a pair of cotton hooks
loading it Ly the bale on the good
steamer, “Up the River.” Junioi
a dilligent business man kept his
wife steadily employed by the so
lid.ation of laundry from his fel
low b>at loaders, Clotfres-washing
fell to an all t‘me low when it
wa ■ quickly 1 tine I the .’8 wi il I
be the f 1 st addition to Bro.her Jr’s
family. Cigars were passed around
Anvil Ilardroek and tho Mrs. did
and handshakes followed. Grandpa
the “Dipsy Doodh>”, upon learn
ing mother and son were getting
along nicely. Christened Brick
Ilardroek it did not take the pride
anti joy of the Ilardroek family
long to make folks know he was
a chip off the old block. By the
time our hero reached the age, we
find him winning the finals of the
Joe Louis Golden Gloves Tourna
ment. Under the new parental
manegement of Grandpa Anvil and
Papa Junior; I will present the
Golden Gloves Champ. “Kid Con"

bout with the “Horizonal Thun
derbolt” next week. Take it away

TAX COLLECTION
Every reader of the Omaha
Guide is urged by Wilbur Jones,
head of Omaha’s civic tax collect
ion campaign, to check up on per
sonal and real estate tax accounts
during December, since the “tax
bargain’’ law expires December
31st.
In many instances, taxpayers
who thought they were all square
have founded they owed personal
or real estate taxes of small a
mount back several years,” Mr.
Jones said. “For that reason, every
person over 21 years of age in
Douglass County should ask for
a tax statement before the end
of the year.”
