portant too that it does not become
infected with the racialisms that too
often handicap prosecuted peoples in
their struggle in an economic world.
The mass of Negroes are proletar-
ian. Their cause is linked up with
the cause of the proletariat.
What has this to do with the prob
lem of the new Negro? What has this
to do with the poetry of Cullen and
Hughes, the stories of To0mer, Ches-
mitt, Mathews, the dramas of Gregory,
Fauset and Richardson?
The connection is simple and sig
nificant. These poets, story-tellers
and dramatists have been described
as the New Negro. Their work has
been interpreted as the work of the
New Negro. Their achievements rep
resent Negro Renaissance.
1t is the argument of this article
that the New Negro represents some
thing deeper, more stirring and more
signal than that. These Negro ar
lists represent certain artistic fumb-
lings for form. Jean Toomer, for in
stance, can write of simple things
with subtlety, of little things with
skill. His genre is the delicate, the
precious prettiness of life, the soft,
poetic regrets, the purple nuances of
fleeting, futile passions. He is the
LafcadiO Hearn Of Negro literature.
He has beautified the trivial ensnared
the elusive. Countee Cullen, Langston
Hughes and many others have made
of words thing Of beauty, but none
OF them has as yet caught the song
of the masses. Their work, in most
cases, seems to live in a separate
world. 1t appears in the regular maga-
zines, is featured as an attraction,
and the word Negro comes to have an
enchantment somewhat like the lure
of strange drama or the fascination
of antique furniture.
The new Negro, we venture to pro-
phesy, is and viii be something differ
ent. The New Negro win really be
new in that he will understand the
economic situation of his people. His
literature will be of proletarian peo-
pie, struggling for revolution and
freedom. His songs will be the songs
of the worker. The new Negro will
labor for new economic world. He
will challenge not race-prejudice only,
but class-prejudiee, class-rule, and
class-oppression. He win link himself
with the labor movement. Like
Dronke, Freiligrath, Wirth and Pfau
in Germany of the last century his
poetry will be defiant and revolution
airy. Contemporary Negro poets rep
resent achievement, but not newness.
Their spirit is different from that of
Dunbar, but it is a difference more
IN degree than in substance. Perhaps
they represent a transition. The work
of Claude Mckay is hint in the new
direction. The work of the new Ne
gro in poetry as in life, however.
will abandon hint, evasion, and pure
prettiness, and seek reality in radical
reconstruction and revolutionary as
piration.
The daily worker., 1927-04-23
The New Negro

vance have been extensive. An ex-
animation of recent statistics will re-
veal the sweep of this change. First,
let us look at the data in reference
to illiteracy in the United States. In
1920 there were 4,431 ,905 persons 10
years Of age and over who were il
literate. OF this number 3,087 ,744 or
$3.50 were white and 1,S42,16I or
374G6 were Negroes. In 1880 there
had been 3,320,878 iliterates among
the Negroes, tantamount to a per-
centage Of 70. To pass from illiteracy
to literacy, we discover that in 1924
alone, 675 Negroes received the
Bachelor of Arts degree and that the
total number of Negro college gradu-
ates is now about 10000. Twenty
nine Negroes have won the degree Of
Doctor of Philosophy from standard
American Universities, and sixty Ne
groes have been elected to the Phi
Beta Kappa. In the professions, like
wise, the Negro has achieved singular
success. In 1900 there were 1,734 Ne
gro doctors; in 1920 there were 3,495.
In 1920 there were 1850 Negro law
yers, two Of them women, 1,109 den
lists and 3,341 trained nurses. Negro
physicians such as Daniel H. Will
liams, who was the first surgeon to
perform successfully an operation on
the human heart, and Algernon +.
Jackson, who discovered a cure for
articular rheumatism, have attained
international regulations.
The force of these facts is all the
more striking when we turn to state
ments that were part of accepted
sociology less than a generation ago.
At the time when Booker I. Wash
ington was propagating his phil
osophy of adaptation based upon sub
mission, and inculcating his ideal of
segregated endeavor that was to
achieve economic unity, A. H. Keane,
the well-known anthropologist, wrote
in the Encyclopedia Britannica Goth
edition.:
'No full blooded Negro has ever
been distinguished as a man of
science. poet or an artist; and the
fundamental equality claimed for
him by ignorant philanthropists is
belied by the whole history of the
race throughout the historic per-
iod."
A few decades earlier Theodore
Parker in letter to Miss Hunt (Let-
ter Nov. 10, 1850 had written:
''In Massachusetts" there are no
laws to keep the black man from
any pursuit, any office that he will;
but there has never been rich Ne
gro in New England none
eminent in anything except the call
ing of a waiter"
These statements are so grotesque-
ly absurd today. The facts adduced
in the preceding paragraphs of this
article are sufficient to expose their
fallaey. In historical perspective also
they reveal a pathetic ignorance of
the Negroes past. Since the times
of their respective utterances, the Ne
