For the first time in history a SOW
ernmcnt has made an extensive ex-
hib,5 ~ a great International exposi-
tfra = ov the progress Of the ne
gro are. The United states appro-
priated 100000 for a Negro
Building" at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. and some of the progressive men
and women of the negro race, under
TIE able leadership Of Giles Jackson,
now director gGneral of the negro eX-
hibit. raised an additional fund for ex-
hibitS and other needed buildings.
Within the walls Of the Negro Build
ing are many exhibits which will sur
prise visitors, Exhibit which would do
credit to any race on the face of the
globe. The advancement made by the
negro during the past fifty years is
thoroughly demonstrated here and
those who see and examine the exhib-
its and buildings made by negroes will
have a higher opinion of the skill,
good taste and genius of that race.
The director general of the negro
exhibit is himself an excellent example
of the progress Of his race. Giles r.
Jackson. the man who has lone so
much for the negro's interests at the
Jamestown Exposition, is a lawyer, a
banker "a newspaper man and a sue
cessfWl business man generally. He
has accomplished A great deal. not
only for the negro, but for the Expo-
sition as well. He assisted in getting
an appropriation for a Negro Build
ig'' at the Exposition, the amount be-
ing 100000 Then he took the lead
in raising an additional fund for in
stalling the exhibits and for construct
ing other buildings. Now. besides
the negro building, proper, there is a
negro hotel. negro restaurants and a
negro pavilion for amusement booths.
All of these are handsome buildings
and ali were constructed by negro
WOrkmen, who We're employed by ne
gro capital and the entire negro ex-
hibit is cared for by negroes.
The able management Of the Negro
Exhibit buildings at the Exposition
is conducted by an executive commit
tee consisting of T. j. Galloway.

General, and A. F. Hillyer, secretary.
on the ground floor are many ex-
