present everything else came an equal
wide field of development and progress
which lay before them within their
own race, regardless entirely of the
white.
Eleven million souls-a nation with
In . nation-certainly furnish a wide
enough field for development for enter
prise and Adventures population and
q territory as great as Switzerland, as
Holland, as Belgium, as Canada or
Australia. The Negro merchant who
can draw all the trade of two-thirds
or even half of his own people within
his county or tributary district has a
good business and the makings of a
fortune
A Negro banker who can secure the
accounts Of all the forehanded farmers
and tradesmen and intelligent artisans
and labOrers Of his own race has a
good business ready to his hand. Ev-
cry county town with 5000 or more
colored population to draw from will
furnish good living for Negro doc
tor, lawyer, three or four ministers and
a dozen teachers.
A Negro dairy. Negro creamery,
cheese factory, an association Of
Negro fruit growers, can find a ready
market and good trade among their
own people in the county, state or
neighboring states. Why do they need
to concern themselves with what their
white neighbors think about the color
line?
The extent to which this new spirit
of self respect and independence and
racial pride has already spread, not
merely from Tuskegee. but a hundred
other lesser centers as well, Is one of
the most cheering and encouraging
signs of the times to the student of
economic conditions as they actually
exist in the south today.
The spirit of the more intelligent and
thoughtful and successful Negroes =
and there are tens Of thousands of
such-is no longer one Of bitterness
against their white neighbors or of We
hement assertion Of their equality In
every respect but one of friendly COM
petition, of quiet and increasing self
respect and mutual respect and of firm
determination to win their own way,
light their own battles, regardless of
racial riyalries.
