THE CONDITION OF THE NEGRO
OF 1908.
By Otis Browder.

We are still perpleXing our brain as
to the future course which we shall
pursue, to solve the many problems
that arise betwiXt us and our white
brethren.
From the beginning of Adams time
to the present day of modern time it
is so fated among men that there is
continual rising and falling in the
human race, and each and every human
being will or have shared in the cate
CORY of human events.
Almost twenty coo centuries ago as
recorded by historians we learn of the
birth of Christ, and from that time to
the present day the human race has
had a progress which we look on with
amazement. Some of the events that
have taken place have swelled us with
exhilarating admiration, other events
have won us glory and honor, and with
pride each nation jealousy points out
the names of those that have spent their
time and energy for the betterment of
their people. No nation has assembled
the ladder of success, has escaped all
the obstacles that lie in the path of
progress. The men that have helped
to solve these difficulties are hailed with
profound respect and are looked upon
as leaders and men among men. After
all as Longfellow terms it, Life is not
an empty dream, but is a life full of
activity and energies.
In 1920 marked the beginning of the
Negro in America, and many sorrows
have been his fate, and at the present
time seem to mark him with a prob
lem which is SO complicated that our
brain is taxed to the utmost in an
effort to solve the question. Some say
it will remain ever thus, and others
say the contrary, but it remains for us,
the living, to show our white brethren
that as fast as time rolls on we are
progressing to an extent that since the
time the shackles of slavery were
loosened and unfastened from us, forty
years ago, we are rapidly fitting our
selves to be able to cope with a prob
lem to which the answer shall have
moved the stone wall that is built up
of race hatred lying between the Negro
and the white man. Every day it
seems that the white brethren cry
build it higher, and their energies are
propelled in a manner that barrier after
barrier is added to it. To scale this
wall we must prepare ourselves in the
right manner.
Some of us are looking for a miracle
to take place, and some hoping for
something to turn up. 1t is a daily
occurrence to find in newspapers, mag
azines and books, some solution in re-
gard to what is termed "The Negro
Problem"
