Race Prejudice Is Not
Innate But Is Acquired
Rev. John Haynes Holiness Eloquent Eminent
Unitarian New York Clergyman Critically and Scientific
ally Analyses Causes of Race Prejudice in Lecture
at Jewish Community

ing unitedly against oppression
Northern Negroes show prejudice
against southern Negroes. Ludicrous
and tragic as this is, it is nevertheless
true and is directly traceable to arti-
ficial conditions of differing cultural
levels and economic advantages.
"There are well springs from which
the poison of prejudice flows into the
hearts of men. The first of these are
differences in cultural levels. People
on a lower cultural level are repug-
nant to those higher up. The second
reason is religion and the third eco
nomic competition.
'The cure is to be found in educa-
ton and improved economic condi-
tions. The Standardization of life
and the raising of all men to the
highest level
Religion should be the one great
influence in life that unites people,
history shows that it is the one thing
that divides US more than anything
else. The way to eliminate religious
prejudice is to recognize that religion
means one thing, brotherhood in the
spirit of the One God. This, too, is
the principle that will eliminate race
prejudice, insistence upon the essen
tial oneness and equality of humani-
ty, and the teaching of brotherhood
and equal privileges for all men,"
DR.. Holmes was introduced by the
Rev. Ralph E. Bailey, pastor of the
First Unitarian church.
Following the lectures, DR.. Holmes
was asked several questions concern
ing race relations which he answered
with candor, sanity and broad-mind-
edness which is rarely found among
public speakers. This was particular
ly true in his answer to the question
about amalgamation or race admix-
ture.
He stated that race admixture or
amalgamation is already here. 1t be-
gan by the preyipg of lustful men
of the dominant group upon the
women of the lower and unprotected
group. Anti-miscegenation or anti
marriage laws promote this very
thing. Marriage is for the protection
of women. Marital happiness is best
secured by the union of people on the
same cultural, religious and racial
planes. Family disaster is frequently
invited when Jew marries a Gentle,
Protestant Roman Catholic or
Negro white person. But if people
of differing races and religions desire
to marry that is their business. He
asserted that it would be interesting
for the audience to know that many
self-respecting Negroes would con-
slider it as much of degradation"
to use a common but false express
sion-for them to marry white per-
son, as most white persons consider
it degradation" to marry a Negro.
This information might be a shock
to Nordic pride.

LADY ASTOR CABLES
CHEERING MESSAGE
TO DYING FISKITE
Prominent Alumnus of Fisk Univer-
sity and Famous Singer Sue
cumbs to Chronic Heart
Disease

Nashville, Tenn.-On the morning
of February 18th at 4:15, Mr.. James
A. Myers, a graduate of the class of
1908, died at his home in Nashville.
Mr.. Myers had been suffering from
heart disease for several years and
incapacitated for over a year. He re-
ceived his degree in theology from
Fisk and served as principal of the
Kowaliga School for Colored Youth
he was a member of the Fisk Jubilee
Singers, and even while principal of
the Kowaliga school he gave a por-
ton of his time to Fisk, making rec
ords for the Edison company. He
was for year pastor of a Baptist
church in Murfreesboro, Tenn, and
for another year, pastor of church
in Greenville. After two years of
preaching he was persuaded to de-
vote all of his time to music and
join the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
For years Mr.. Myers sang tenor
with the quintet and advertised Fisk
all over the world. 1t was he who
was responsible for the first Europ-
can tour of the Fisk Jubilee Singers
since 1884 when the original jubilee
singers toured Europe for the last
time. Mr.. Myers went abroad with
the singers three times and only ILL
ness prevented his returning with
them in December of this year. Few
singers have made as many friends,
or have been so profoundly loved as
was Mr.. Myers.
Seemingly having premonition of
death, he sent for his wife who was
with the Fisk singers touring Europe.
Leaving the singers for the first time
in % years, Mrs. Myers formerly
Miss Henrietta Crawley, student of
Fisk) rushed to her husbands bed
side and was with him when he died.
Shortly before his death, the lifelong
friend of his wife and himself, Lady
Astor, sent a cablegram expressing
deep solicitude over his condition and
hoping for his recovery. The cable
read: Hold on to the thought that
God is life." Signed: NANCY AS
TOR. Mr.. Myers was outstanding as
brilliant singer and enthusiastic in
spirer of younger singers and 32nd
degree Mason. He will be remember
ed by all the Fisk family as one of
the great Fisk singers, to be named
with such men as Tom Rutling, Isaac
Dickerson and the late John w. Work.
A special Masonic service was held
for Mr.. Myers at 1900 midnight Sun
day, February 10, and regular funer-
al services were held Monday in Mem
orial chapel. kilograms and express
sions of coincidence from all over the
world have poured in to Mrs. Myers
expressing the regret of Mr.. Myers
death.

WOULD HONOR MEMORY
OF CRISPUS ATTUCKS
Observance of citizenship Founda-
tion Day" Suggested in Con-
nection with Anniversary
Day

Boston, Mass, Feb. 24.-Following
close upon Douglass day, for public
honors to an historic colored Amer
lean who wrought great benefit for
his own race, the National Equal
Rights League and Race Congress of
America today made public the text
of an appeal to the race to observe
"Attucks day." or Citizenship Foun-
dation day." on Monday, March 9Th,
or of Crispus Attucks, first martyr of
the founding of the United States,
thus doing public honor whereby we
could show white Americans what
great benefit man of our race
wrought for them.
For cumulative effect the league
recommends that again resolutions be
adopted against federal segregation
and for the enforcement of the 18th
amendment, to end the national scan
dal of still holding the race alone of
the country's first martyr to national
formation and independence subject
to lynching and disfranchisement in
and by the southern states thereof
and to segregation by the national
government itself. These resolutions
are to be sent to the seat of the ma
tional government, the former to
President Coolidge, the latter to con-
gress, state delegations and members
of the steering committee of the
House with a copy to Representative
Tinkham, author of the resolution for

Fought with North


Whether Mattingly ran away or
was freed at the outbreak of the civil
war is not definitely known. At any
rate he reached the north, enlisted in
the One Hundred Twenty-fifth color
ed infantry, fought during the con-
flict and at its close came to David
City. 1t is said that he homesteaded
part of his land and bought the rest
when it was cheap.
After time he moved to town to
live upon the income from renting
his farm. He became a town char
acter, spending his time exchanging
war "reminiscences with other veterans.
and Bennison were his ad-
visers. He could not read nor write
his name.
After his death and the filing of
the unsigned will, a Negro lawyer
named c. c. Mcguire of Gary, Ind,
with IL or more alleged
and filed a claim. He as
serted that the dead mans true name
was "Manley'' and that he had chang
ed it to Mattingly when he fled the
south. After a time Mcguire drop
ped his clients and entered suit for
one, Jeanette Miller Breckenridge.
He offered an old family Bible with
a record of births, to support his
claim that the woman was the true
heir.
