LET US REJOICE.
By Vincent Longdon.


This month our people in the cities
and towns throughout America are
celebrating the anniversary of the
landing of the first cargo of Negroes
800 years ago January 10th. No self
is aims and ends; no cross purposes;
no divine influence att work; no loos-
ening the bonds of brotherly love, but
a united, Consecrated host working
and rejoicing together must character.
ize these celebrations.
Now, as never before, we realize
the truism that there is strength in
unity. Away down beneath the sur
face of things this unity exists among
the Negroes, in spite of superficial
indications to the contrary. Let the
record of three centuries of the Ne
gro's achievement cause us to resolve
to make the ideal of what we shall
be a reality. Those who serve other
ends serve a losing cause.
No other race in America has had
such extremes of racial e~xaltation and
depression. No other race in Amer
lea has produced so many men who
A"NO pSCh lliCA any pCClo" llSu SllICu
with vision to arouse, to inspire, to
lead-astronomers, statesmen, law
yers, doctors, editors, ministers, teach
ers, poets, musicians, inventors, build
ers. Where is he who has been afraid
or ashamed to stand up and be count
ed with the American Negro? OF a
certainty we differe from other races,

much alike" The American, French
man, Belgian or E%nglishman is just
as likely to have an hour of sorrow
and heartache al the African, China
man or Indian. The banker is sub.
ject to the same emotions concerning
hunger, shame, love, patriotism, mice
and snakes as a pauper.
This roundabout road leads to the
conclusion that the Negro has haC
sufficient trials and rejoicing to show
the stuff he is made of; and as hi
was on the watch when the opportun
ity for his independence passed, HI
} jumped astride and has been as trul!
} a citizen and a martial hero as an!
: of the worthless whose memories ar,

; from 1919 to 1919 he did not have tn
! chance to pose before a motion pic

s point; as he helped in a large meas
s ure to make America and Americas

under his name. Rejoice, and agail
