WHY HAVE A NEGRO EXHI-
BITION FOR IOWA.

For one half century the Ameri-
can freedmen have struggled up here
in Iowa to help make it the great
state that she is, and under conditions
whereto some extent, the general
laws have been most favorable to
him, and in those fifty years Of hard
toll, we have not exhibit any part Of
our toll, skill and brain, separately
and collectively, as race, to show
our wonderful progress that we have
made in the past fifty years. True,
we have shown some of our work
promiscously with the exhibits of all
other races and have taken first priz-
es, but to counter-act the bad i'm
pressions, that the shift1ess and riff
raft element of our race, we, who
know what our race is now doing, es-
pecially the better class, are anxious
to show the world, in tangible and
visable way, some of the real ex-
hibitions of evidences of economical,
industrial and educational standpoint.
It would be helpful to both races and
great benefit to our young men and
women, upon whose shoulder rests
the future development Of the race.
