The Proposed Negro Exposition.

To the Editor of The Star:
Under the caption. The Proposed Ne
gro Exposition 1 have read with much
November o6. And I. with every thought
full negro, agree with you when you say
that the press comments on the PROPOSE
ton of leading negroes to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary Of the freedom Of
their race by holding a national EXPOSE
ton showing the progress made by the
race in that time is not as cordial as it
might be. 1t should be encouraged in
every way. Properly carried out. the
idea is capable of benefit to both races
You very truthfully state that the excel
lent record made by the negroes in quail
flying for good service in and to the colln-
try and accommodating property. educat-
ing themselves and children, is not the
record of fifty years, but of much less
time. Sir, you well state that our op-
portunities did not come with our emanci-
patton, but followed at distance. Very
near quarter of a century had passed
before the negro realized for certainty
that he was free man. The RESPONSE
bility Of caring for himself and family
was thrust upon him unaware. The re-
sponsibility OF the home, the responsibility
Of the state, the responsibility OF the ma
ton was placed Immediately in his grasp
without experience or knowledge of self
government. he nau 10 MAKE MS way as
best he could amid poverty and distress
in the south for both blacks and whites.
With the carpetba ggers on the one hand
and the kuklux clans on the other, the
negro was the sufferer in the end. The
contemplated exposition would tell a story
and place in review before the civilized
world what an emancipated people Is
capable of accomplishing in less than
forty years. The good people of the north
and the good people of the south have as
sisted the negro in the accomplishment
of his progress. and l am sure that the
good people Of both sections. If the ma
tional exposition is held, will do all In
their power to make 1t a success Let the
exposition show what the negro accom-
plished for his owner as slave and what
he has accomplished for himself as a free
man. JACOB b. ASKINS.
