AFRICAN METHODIST MINISTER'S
PROTEST AGAINST "BIRTH OF A
NATION"

The A. M. e. Ministers Alliance
or this city registered their protest
AGAINST the production of the photo.
play, THE Birth of a Nation" last
Tuesday morning at their regular
weekly meeting by passing a resolu.
ton condemning the play and an.
rolnting a committee to draw up a
statement and appeal to the CITY
authorltieF, requesting that the exhi-
blt1on be suppressed, and not allowed
70 be shown in Nashville.
1t is claimed by these ministers
that a large number of colored peo-
Dle usually attend the shows given
at the Vendome where the Birth of
a Nation" is advertised to be shown,
and that 1t lis impossible to put this
strife producing play on the. screen
before mixed audience of white and
colored people in the south, without
stirring up feelings of bitterness on
both sides. Speaking of the play,
Dr. j. A. Jones, chairman of the com.
mittee said: 81 have witnessed the
play myself. 1t carries one back to
Reconstruction days. when racial an.
tinathy in the south was at its
height. The picture is overdrawn
like all the writings of Tom Dixon's
are. Tom Dixon as a writer of fic.
ton. seemed to have had two objects
in view, namely; to humiliate the Ne
gro and emphasize Anglo-Saxon SUI
periority. and to make money. If any
Negro with the slightest degree OF
self respect or the least bit of race
pride, can witness the Birth of 6
Nation without feeling deeply hui
inflated and at the same time excep
tionally INDIGNANT. he is indeed G
saint. I think the Birth of a Ma
ton" should be driven off the Ameri
cam stage or playhouse, and that
speedily. This is no time for stirrins
up race feeling among the citizens
of America"

mon the CITY authorities were: Drs
J. A. Jones. G. w. Allen. ] H. Grant

joining officers and soldiers to refrain
from going into public places where
their presence is resented because
of Color. His dictum that asking

fosters race prejudice, humiliates our

There are many things that
women can do on the farm. Wo-
men in the north are stacking
wheat; women in the South have
been chopping cotton. At the
same time big, able-bodied men
are hanging around hotels and
driving pleasure cars. The wo-
men Of England and France are
between the pillow handles, and
our women, God bless them, will
go there too, if need be; but I
shall despise American manhood
if we drive our women to these
