1928 ANNUAL SURVEY OF
ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS

1t was in the very nature of things
that during such a year as 1928,
when the attention of the American
people was directed toward the cleo
don of a president, that the play
upon the surface of the Negroes po-
litical life should be regarded as es-
pecially significant and important.
The election of Negro to congress
was the most important event in the
life of the Negro during the year,
viewed from many angles, although
the apparent change of attitude on
the part of the Republican party to-
ward the Negro leadership of the
party in the south was, and is,
fraught with grave significance.

seemed to take the most significant
steps in a business way, stories of
Negroes making ice, brooms, gloves,
winning contracts for work on large
public buildings, and so forth, being
an earnest of the Negroes developing
power as producer. The same ten
dency was noted elsewhere, though
not to such a great extent.
