At the African Methodist Episcopal
Conference, held in Macon, Ca, last
week, Bishop Turner, the best known
negro churchman in the South, had
this to say on the race question:
81 see no manhood future for the
negro in this country, and the man not
able to discover that fact from existing
conditions must be void of common
sense. Our civil, political and social
status ia degrading, and as degradation
begets degradation, the negro must go
from bad to worse Rd inf1nitum.
Neither education or wealth can ever
elevate US to the grade Of respecta-
bility.
81 say this because We are surround
ed by 80 many influences that initiate
against our manhod. The best thing
the negro can do is to call a great
national convention and ask the United
States Congress for 800 coo, 600 to
meet the expense of starting a line OF
steamers between this country and
Africa, thus pioneering a domain for
our settlement"
