RACE CONSCIOUSNESS
AND RACE CONFIDENCE

Ideally, we are AmeriCdhS'
and among the most loyal OF
Americas loyal sons. And
these are days-the beginning
of an era Of international
complications in which the u
nited States is destined to
play an important part-when
Americans loyal to the core,
will be sadly needed. his
fac. will be increasingly ap
parent within the next few
years, perhaps, months, Amer
leans and Americanism are to
. pass through the testing hre,
and thank God, the Colored
American will be able to
stand the test.
Naturally, we would prefer
to be regarded simply as f.
mcricans, striving each &C
cording to his ability to con
tribute to the welfare OF our
common country. But unfor-
,unately. and here we only
state a fact which must be ap-
parent to the most superficial
observer, we are thought OF
and treated as a distinctive
race group, "a thing apart,
like Mabel Martin. immortal :
ICED by Whittier, in the lie OF
city community, state and ma

out bitterness. for we believe
that, although it may be diff
cult for us 20 see it, there is a
divine purpose back of it. 1t
is going to work out all right
in the end.
This is developing in us a
race consciousness, limiting it
self now, but gaining force by
that very limitation. which
, will make us a tremendous so
cial, industrial and political
power in this nation. This
race consciousness is mani
testing itself in race conf
dence, which is gradually re-
vealing to us our latent and
unused powers OF organiza-
ton for the support and de-
velopment OF our own busi,-
ness and industrial institu-
Cons. We are being thrown
back upon and compelled to
develop our own resources.
The outcome of this means
strong business institutions
groceries dry good stores and
similar enterprises which will
command respect and give us
recognition in the CONNER
cial world. This will mean
employment for our youth
from which they are now de-
barred.
We are gaining race con-
sc.ousness and with it race
