Negro History Week

During the past week, Negro His
tory Week received much publicity
in the Daily Press. Due to the eff
forts of heads of Women's clubs,
many creditable facts of the history
of black people were presented to
the nation. Many whites, heretofore
nave not known anything of the cred
table history of colored people only
that they were once slaves in Amer
lea. During the week the attention
of the Nation was directed to Negro
Popes, Doctors, Generals, Philoso-
pliers and Scientists. Negro History
week, if faithfully and consistently
observed every year, will serve to
open the eyes of white people, as well
as our own, to the commendable part
played by our race in the onward
march of civilization.

Why Was President of

Tacoma, WASH, Feb. ID.

Tacoma, WASH, req. IL.
To Tacoma Editor, The Enterprise |:
Being an interested reader of your
valuable paper, and always a sub
scriber from the very first issue,
call your attention to a little mat
ter not as a grievance but as mat
ter of information. Briefly, it was
this: Why is it that among our peo-
pie there is so great a failure to
recognize persons of merit who hold
honorable positions useful to the
race? Most especially when the one
is a lady? was in attendance at the
reception to Rev. M. Stovall Monday
evening and during the exercises sew
eral speakers were called from the
audience, who in the main, acquitted
themselves commercially. Many
good things were said, so far as |
heard and say the program contained
the names of men only. Women are
the hardest workers in every church.
Not only that but there was a lady
present who has worked zealously and
hard unselfjshly, always sharing the
joy of achievement with others of the
race-and having listened to others
who touched upon the prevailing top
ic, "Negro History Week." ! was anx-
ious to hear from the one who di-
rected this great work in this state,
but to my great surprise, although
she sat in full view, she was not cal
led upon. Can it be that those in
charge of the program did not know
of the great things which came to
pass within the last ten days? How
this woman as the highest represent
alive of the coloder women of the
state and their organizations put over
such a far reaching program in the
high and intermediate high schools
of the state, something no other state
has done? How the great daily news
papers carried reports and big edit
orials of this work, and how the pub
lie library exhibited Negro book and
authors and pictures of Washington
and Du Bots were displayed uponsher
suggestions?
Please let me say here that the
writer does not presume that you
should say as to the why's" and
wherefore" of other peoples pro-
grams but aye editors" can, by vir-
tue Of your position gain entrance
to the affairs of other men and have
the opportunity to know many things
which we common people cannot find
out.
Sincerely hoping that my queries
are not impertinent and that some
answer may be given by some one
through the paper, | remain:
