Mary Church Terrell, noted speak.
er and leader of women, came and
seeing, both conquered and was con-
quered. Her address of Friday night
has been the topic of the week. Few
OF the many noted characters who
have visited the west have made SO
good an impression upon Angelenos
and certainly none have appeared so
genuinely taken with city and people.
Said prominent person: The Du-
mas Lyceum Bureau has scored again.
Mary Church Terrell proved all she
was represented to be and the East
and West are being drawn closer to-
gether as such splendid types of our
representatives as Mrs. Terrell are
met"
A warm greeting was given the
noted Washingtonian, applause and
flowers were hers in profusion and
the representative audience gave
many evidences of its appreciative
hearing
DR.. A. c. CARROT, president of the
bureau, presented Mrs Terrell, whose
hold was quickly taken upon the au-
dience.
A caustic comment upon lynching
brought forth the witty expression
My friends, remember that some
men are born black. others have
blackness thrust upon them and still
others achieve blackness."
Il have been asked why | use the
word Colored American instead OF
the grand old word Negro 1t gives
opportunity for the use of the word
Negress, which have been called SO
much that | am sore. 1t will take
our women hundreds of years to live
down the reproach and contempt in
the word"
Continued applause followed Mrs.
Terrell's eloquent peroration and then
the audience surged. forward for
greeting. Mesdames ]. Scott, K.
Barr and others formed the receiving
line. The Misses Inez Bailey, Doro-
thy Rena, Miriam Carrot, Mary
Blodgett and Cornelia Leggett acted
as ushers.
During her stay in the city, Mrs.
Terrell stopped at the beautiful res
idence of Mrs. s. III. Pool at 35th and
Raymond avenue.
When conversing with Mary
Church Terrell one soon realizes that
although she is in public life she is
a real wife and mother She refers
repeatedly to her home, her husband,
Judge Terrell, and her two charming
daughters, one of whom graduated
from all academy at St. Johnsbury,
Vermont, this year, and the other
from the Washington high school
Los Angeles New Age.
Mrs. Terrell is truly an orator with
wonderful flow of language, master
ful in thought and brilliant in pre-
sentation She is intensely racial and
of impressive sincerity and Friday
nights treatment of the general race
problem was splendidly illustrative of
these features.
