Wonderful is the Spontaneous
acclaim Of anyone Who visits Tulsa
today after seeing the burned area
Immediately following the disaster
there June first Of last year. The
former business section which con-
sisted largely Of Greenwood Avenue
has been transformed from ragged,
onsightly walls 20 modern structures
where small thriving businesses of
every kind are meeting the needs Of
the people. The former residential
sections which resembled a soldiers
camp in war, having been covered
xith tents and impoverished shacks,
are now being rapidly replaced by
more substantial homes. But very
few Of the tents furnished by the
Red Cross now remain So muca 4or
a hasty material perspective.
What about the spirit now mani
tested by the Negroes? Let 1t be
said unreservedly that the spirit ex-
hibited from the beginning by the
Tulsa Negroes, on the whole should
be the pride of the whole race. I'm
der themost cruel and soul-erushine
conditions they have simply put their
backs against the wall determined to
die If needs be, in Tulsa.
One well-to-do man epiomized the
general feeling when he said II
told one Of the Commissioners the
other day when be asked me what
was going to do, that ! was going to
start over right here iD Tulsa where
| started before" Most of the people
who had acquired any property al
all had secured it there. 1t is but
natural therefore that they fee
bound to their home With this feel
ing the Negroes have succeeded in
sauelehing the agitation about TAX
ing their Land for industrial pur-
poses. They have succeeded in pre-
venting the fire zone from being ex-
tended, and in winning to their cause
many of the prominent white peo-
pie. Other problems which appear
insolvable by Tulsa Negroes alone
however, are observed, and these
strike to the very roots Of their fu.
ture progress. ~
Present Economic Status
In the first place, the wealth OF
the Negro of Tulsa has been grossly
exaggerated. Much of the property
which was controlled by Negroes
was heavily mortgaged. Several Ne
groes each, however, owned from
ten TO twenty houses with Il renntl
income ranging between $3.50 and
$3.50 per monh. These, for the most
part, were of the small three room
type. There was also one block OF
excellent homes ranging in values
between $4,000 and $4,000 sact

excessive rates. The ultimate result
will be turning over of their land
TO the white people. These people
as you see will then have expert
enced both burning out" and a
@freezing out" Because of the mild
winter there has fortunately been
no acute suffering or need of extra
food and clothing Thus, the econo-
mic situation in Tulsa must be view
ed now by the country at large, not
in the light of sentiment but upon
sound business principles. Econom-
ie rehabilitation will mean rebirth
of Tulsa's Negro population and eco
nomie failure will mean death to the
spirit of deserving people, and
shame to the whole race.
Lack of Social Leadership
In addition TO the economic prob
lens which these Negroes face is an
other Of equal importaee-the lack
of social leadership. Perhaps it is
safe TO say that there is no City in
our country today which offers a
greater opportunity for social SER
vice than Tulsa. Here eight of ten
thousand Negroes live in an entirely
segregated section. Their contact
with the whites outside of business
and domestic service relations has
almost been nil, and they have SEEM
ed not only to be satisfied under
such conditions, but to have capital
ized their isolation using it as the
stimulus to race pride and race ele-
vation. The needs and accomplish
ments of the Tuls Negro have not
therefore been made known to the
whites In this connection it should
be stated that much good was accom-
plished by the Colored Y NJ. c. A..
before it became inactive in the late
summer following the disaster. This
work was supported by the eolored
peoplt as only few of the intlential
whites had become acquainted with
the more intelligent Negroes.
In an effort to develose social
service program which would effec-
tuate cooperative relations between
the races, the National Urban Lea
que dispatched me to Tulsa a few
days after the riot and again in July.

after a two weeks stay there where

cial service agency with strong lead

strengthened by the fact that the
lawless elements which formerly
found Tulsa convenient market
to ply their trades, are fast disap-
pearing and their places are rapidly
being taken by stable Negro fami-
lies coming largely from Texas.
Fortunately there are rmany whites
who also sense the situation among
Negroes with intelligence and SYM
pathy. They not only are imbued
with sentiment, but are also fillad
with the desire to improve the whole
community and therefore the lot of

owned largely by professional peo-
PIE. Most Of this property was en-
tireiy wiped out. The majority Of
the business section has always
been either heavily mortgaged or
owned by whites. What the Negroes
would have accomplished in another
three years can only be estimated.
The new buildings now being
erected by Negroes are going up "on
paper" The interest rates are ex-
orb.tant and carpenters and brick
layers are charging $1,000 per day
Tor their labor. There is not a new
building put up by Negroes that is

gro. 1t is commendable, however.
that the credit of many Of the Ne
groes has already been re-establish-
ed, for seyerl homes and businesses
have even been built on "open ac-
rount."
Large Sums MOI Provided
The pablie should also know that
the large sums which certain nation
al Negro organizations promised to
give were nothing more, apparently
than skiifuiiy calculated propaganda
for additional members. Too much
cannot be said, however, in praise of
the Naional Association for the Ad-
yancement of Colored People which
gathered and expanded more than
$4,000 in relief and legal work. In
this connection mention should also
be made Of the constructive piece of
social service work done by the Red
Cross which secured and expended
upwards Of 100000 in relief work.
The mere pittance doled out by two
Negro organizations to their indiyid-
ual members was indeed shameful
reproach upon intelligent leadership
The lump sums, however small,
! should have been used constructively
for istance, toward the building of
houses, Office buildings, or the estab-
lishment Of businesses. Tulsa ser
