The NEoRo's PLACE IN
HISTORY.


gressive without limitation. Adj
Eancement in culture has been con-
tinuous ever since the first handful
vas landed on our shores-and that
100 under Encouragement such
Is no other people have encoun-
tered. Thus far we can rejoice in
the happy solution of one Of our
most difficult social problems. The
hand that has guided these people
has mot led them sstray. Their
paths have been dark but the day
daEns. The alarmist, however,
does not care to recall the past; he
prefers To view, with a disordered
Imagination, the future, and his
visions are painted with the gloomi-
est forebOdings. Let US, then, look
into the future. But in order to
realize the capabilities of the negro
race, We mus fully understand the
remote past history of the blacks as
= race.
The question rHss the negro
race at any period of time GRIN
any country on the globe been g
factor In the Disappointing of
the vorld2'' has, in the course Of
the agitation of the race question,
been asked repeatedly. Most as
suredly he has been an important
element in the history-making of
the entire globe. Though snch a
statement be surprising 10 some
and contrary to the commonly ac-
cepted belief, it is nevertheless
true. Whenever the above ques-
ton is asked. the imagination Of
man forthwith pictures the naked
savage In the heart of the African
continent as an example of the
negro at the summit of his attain
ments IN all that goes to make what
We cali civilization. So even, with
just as great claim to reason may
the Chinese mandarin point to the
semi-sayAge Galchan of the Hindu
Kush region to illustrate the high
est type of Aryan culture, because
this child of the mountains may
have redder hair and whittier skin
than the ordinary representative of
the Ayran race in southern
Europe.
The black race has q history. In
fact all history is full Of traces of
thu black element. 1t is now
usually recognized as the oldest
race of which We have any knowl-
edge. The wanderings of these
people since prehistoric history be-
gan have not been confined to the
African continent. In Paleolitic
times the black man roamed at will
over all the fairer portions of the
Old World. Europe as well as
Asia and Africa acknowledged his
sway. No white man had as yet
appeared to dispute his authority
In the Eine-clsd valleys of France
or Germany or upon the classic
hills of Greece or Rome. The
black man preceded all others and
carried Paleolithic culture to Its
very height. But the history of
AL lands has been only . record Of
succeeding races. Old races have
often been supplanted by those of
inferior culture but of superior
energy. More often, however, by
fusion Of different racial types and
BY the mingling of various tribes
and peoples, have been evolved
new races superior 70 any of the
original types.
The blacks were q fundamental
element IN the origin not only of
the primitive races of southern
Europe, bnt of the civilized races
Of antiquity As well History may
Be said to begin in ancient Egypt,
and recede into the dim past Just
as Ear Is records and inscriptions
