self cannot long remain hidden.
Character then groups individuals
into classes. Individuals of similar
character are apt to have common
intrests; and having common inter-
ests, they attract one another ana
become distinguished as class. Then
the character of race may be de-
duced from these classes.
The business class of any race re-
presents the highest type of that
race. The economic status of
race, determines its political, social
and religious progress.
How can Negro boy catch the
spirit Of real business, when he is
reared a community where there
is scarcely no business among his
people. If we are to have business
men who shall be able to take their
places in the future among the bust
ness men of other races, we must
start today; remembering that what
ever you teach the boy of today, will
be seen in his activities on tomorrow.
1t is our duty to develop and MAIN
tain high and strong class of bust
ness men and women. We may ask
how can we develop high and
strong class of business men ana
women? By getting behind those
who have courage enough to venture
upon the storm-tossed sea of bust
ness, supporting, encouraging and
defending them. In the proportion
as they succeed in that proportion
does the race succeed. Then the
race, being judged by that class, will
command commendable place in
! the equation of human affairs.
Let the Negro set up the business
that will serve the people of his COM
munity, no matter what race they
may be. Let it be a business thay
all races will respect. A Negro
church or institution that expects to
exist by begging the members OF
other races may soon find that they
have lost the respect of those people.
Let us do something for ourselves.
Let us represent strength, stability,
solidarity, thrift and intelligence.
Then and then only will it be said
that the Negro race is a strong race
for the strength of race is deter
mined by the character of its peo-
pie.
Let the Negro own the business
then he controls the jobs. We should
not be willing to sell our economic
freedom to man of another group
for the mere consideration of a JOB.
When the business which supplies
the job, belong to that man and the
profits of which 60 into his pocket,
these profits find their way into an
other neighborhood. Let Negroes
begin now as never before to estab-
fish, support and maintain legitimate
businesses in the communities to the
end that we may take our rightful
place among the races of earth.
