THE NEGRO

Professor Haynes Speaks before Ethical Society ON
the Race Problem. Says adjustment of Conditions

trict of over, 25 900, within about
fourteen city blocks; Philadelphia
has its Seventh Ward; Chicago
has ifs State street, and Baltimore
its Druid Hill avenue; Louisville,
KY, has its Chestnut street and
its SIN oketown; Atlanta its South
and West Ends. These are exam
tples taken at random which are
typical of cities, large and small,
North and South.
"As in the case of migration to
the cities, the segregation within
the cities is caused by strong fore
es at work, both within and with
out the body of the Negroes them
selves. First. of course, is the
natural desire of Negroes to be to.
gether. The consciousness of
kind in family, racial, and neigh
borhood ties bind them closer to
one another than to their white
fellow-citizens. But, as Negroes
develop in morals, intelligence,
and in their standard of living,
thev wish to move to better sur
roundings than those allotted to
them and their less fortunate
black brothers. This desire, con-
trary to what some claim, is not
because they care especially to live
in white neighborhoods, but be-
cause they have learned that they
can get better houses. better pub.
lie facilities, and other comforts of
life by the change. Just as the
Hebrews, Italians, Slavs, and other
immigrants who are crowded into
segregated surroundings when a
better economic foothold enables
them to secure improvements, so
Negroes who can raise their stan
dard of living seek better neigbor-
hoods in which to reside.
But the Negro meets an oppo-
sition from his prospective. white
neighbors that does not confront
the immigrant who has shuffled
off the coil of his Continental con-
dition. For it is a peculiarly of
many white Americans that, while
in the North, they eccord to the
Negro political privileges, and in
the South they treat him with in
dividual kindness, they do not wish
to have him own residence in the
same block. They profess the
ideal principal of the. brother hood
of man, but prefer to reach over iu-
to another ward to grasp their
black brother by the hand.
Now this opposition of white
neigh bors is not always based up
on the reasonable objection to ig.
norance and filth, for it expresses

THE Problem of the Negro in
Cities" was the subject of an ad-
dress delivered before the Ethical
Culture Society Sunday by George
E. Haynes, professor of social
science at Fisk University. Prof
Haynes stated that the problem OF
adjustment to the Negroes newer
surroundings is the problem of JUS
tice in America, and is chiefly de-
termined by the attitude of the
white race toward the Negro.
Prof. Haynes spoke interesting
ly on the segregation of Negroes
in the large cities, saying in part
Along with others, L have
been charged with approving this
Negro concentration i'm cities, and
some may think that | am not in
sympathy with education i'll agri-
cultural arts, and with other efforts
for improvement among rural Ne
groes. With education in agricul-
ture | am in hearty sympathy, and
there is not an effort for the i'm
provement of Negro rural COM
munities that does not have my
heartiest endorsement. But what
| am trying to call attention to is
that the present migration to cities
which we all observe, is a fairl y
constant movement that will re-
suit in a large, permanent Negro
urban population, in the face of
what is being done in the rural
community; and that education
and other measures to meet rural
conditions, however effective,
should not lead us to lessen our
concern about the conditions grow
ing up in the cities. During this
month | have noticed articles in
two leading newspapers claiming
that there is decided back-to the
land movement of all our popula-
ton. Especially may we wish
the Negro to remain on the farm.
But however decidedly we may
agree upon the wisdom of his re-
turning there, yet such opinion
and argument that be is returning
are not all erroneous, but wrong
in view of the facts in the case,
AS loyal American citizens, we
need to face these facts and act
accordingly.
THE second division of my sub.
ject is that of the segregation of
the Negro population within the
cities into districts and neigh bor-
hoods. This can be more easily
presented because evidences of it
are open to every observer. New
York has its "San Juan Hill" in
