We are pleased to see that
one of our well known and very
capable journalists, Mr.: Frank
Marshall Davis, has been inclu-
ded among those obtaining Ro-
senwald aid for intellectual pur-
suits. Mr.. Davis, feature editor
of the Associated Negro Press,
and author of one of the first
books published this year by a
colored writer, 1T Am the Am
erican Negro" is to do more
active writing under his grant.
Mr.. Davis, a native of Kan
sas and once editor of the At
lanta Daily World, is yet young
and knows what it means to be
pigeon-holed as a NEGRO in
our American civilization.
Banging at the bars of his
racial prison, Mr.. Davis ex-
claims "Only my dollars know
no color line.-~4~~and sometimes
even those are banned!
We salute Frank Marshall

has won RECOGNITION for com

GONE WITH THE WIND" WILL GO WITH THE WIND

The Pulitzer Committee awards this year are a sorry bus
mess, headed as hey are wi9l the laurels for that masterpiece
of shalowness, ignorance and prejudice, Gone with the Wind"
When the Pulitzer committee honored this dishonorable
and shoddy work hey were giving no help to literature and a
great deal of encouragement to the Negrophobia which hangs
over the book like adismal smell. The book was written by a
prim young lady, snobbish and sentimental, whoseboast is that
she comes Of an "unrecons.rueted family" still clutehing to its
bosom the faded glories of the Confederaey. She perpetuates all
the vile mythology of the plantation fasters with its references
to Negro lust" and similar tripe used to verify the moral JUS
tification for l%ynching. raedsl enreie. 80
The award is a confession Of Literary puerilty and a tri-
butte to the worst prejudices Of the Bourbons
But If the committee was bold in honoring the political re-
action of the old South it carefully avoided the democraFc
politics of the present day and ignored Carl ~Sandburgs splen-
did "The People, Yes" certainly the outstanding volume Of
poetry for the yedr. -
The Pulitzer award, harmful as it is to American literature
and American life in general, will not save the bulky 'Gone
with the Wind from quickly going with the wind to the OBJ
lNion it deserves.

OPINIONS
The Musicians
By Mrs. II. Makins

The first Negro singers 10
tour America were the Fisk Ju
bilee Singess in 1871. In three
years this group raised $3.50. 900
for Fisk University which at the
time was In dire need. This was
the beginning of the spiritual
vogue.
Music critics compared two
musics, the common, soulful Ne
gro music and the highly classic
OF the Indians. 1t was proven
that a folk song was a. song of
the people by the people. Most
certainly the Indian lyric could
not be sung by the uncultured
peovle even Of it's OWE race.
The white man was taken to
the Negro musil so much so that
many were made famous by its
use. Although a famous trrang
er of Negro music, John Powell
(white) said the Negro race is
a part from the rest of us and
should be treated so both social
ly and culturally, Henry F. Gil
bert wrote "Swing Low Sweet
Chariot" and William j. Red
dick wrote standing in the
of Prayer" and Leaning
on the Lord"
Others made famous by Ne
gro music: John J. Miles, Dav

it, it is generally believed the
white man did not compose
these songs-onlyi copied them.
