I The exposition to commemorate

Negro held at Richmond, Va, was be-
cause of the place selected for holding
the exposition, of particular interest
to the Negroes of the South. But 1t
| is something more than an event OF
local Importance, for as national
celebration it is of interest to all Ne
groes and to all interested in the
progress of the Negro race. Presi'
dent Wilson has issued a proclama
ton In which he says: LAS president
of the United States bespeak the
active interest of thu nation in the
exposition and trust that every facil-
ity will be extended to the leaders.

dertaking possible" Congress has
appropriated $4,000 ito aid In the
promotion and contamination" Of the
exposition, thus giving to the event
significance which, under private aus
pieces, it might have had difficulty in

race since 1t was released from bond.
age. Since slavery days two genera
tons have been born in freedom. and
have accepted freedom as normal
state and nothing to wonder at. To
them the statement that in 1860 not
more than one Negro in hundred
possessed himself means nothing, for
no Negro who did not actually live un-
der slavery can realize that such an
institution actually existed in coun.
try founded on the principle that free.
dom is right and not a privilege.
To these new generations this exposi-
ton should mean a great deal 1t
should fix in their minds vision OF
the progress of the race which no
amount of imagining could give them.
and it should inspire them with a de-
sire to hand down to their children
the traditions of slavery in order that
they and succeeding generations may
appreciate the blessings of liberty.
