MOODY Negro H'iytory Week— All of this week churches, clubs and civic groups throughout the country have observed Negro His tory Week. This observance is becoming more recognized and appreciated each year. Much is being done to course us to learn about the worthy achievements made to our race. Many of the other races are hear ing of th9 worthwhile things. This year’s emphasis is being placed upon Negro musicians and their music. The current issue of the Negro History Bulletin con tains valuable information about the outstanding Negro musicians and a brief history of Negro folk music. It is stated that “Negro American music is something new, in fact, the only new thing in American art. Though many intelligent Ne groes feel that the use of the “spi rituals" and melody has been abus ed at times, we are happy that a real appreciation of their back ground is felt. No one but the Negro was able to react humbly under oppression and express himself through auch strains as "Steal Away," “Nobody knows the Trouble I See," “ Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and **Ta> So Glad Trouble Don’t last Al ways." 8hese and other songs were bar? of blood and suffering. Jazz also Is an expression of joy and irres pressible happiness." Among the modem hymn and song writers, we mention, Thomas Dorsey, Dr. Charles Price Jones, and Elder C. Jacob Jones. The more we learn about Negro His tory, the more pride we should have in being one.
