NEGRO MAKERS OF HISTORY

This week we are in the midst of our an
nua observance of Negro History Week
Members of the race in all parts of the coun-
try are celebrating the occasion, by present
ing programs featuring the achievement OF
Negroes. while outstanding lecturers on MS
torical accomplishments of our people are al
so in demand
It is quite proper that we should observe
Negro History Week" as it helps focus at
tention upon the subject. and stimulates the
spirit of race pride among US.
Unfortunately there is little published IN
public school text books about the historical
achievements of Negroes. Many boys and
girls of both racial groups in our public
schools, know very little concerning the
worthwhile achievements of Negroes
In recent years however, largely through
the efforts of Dr. Carter Woodson and other
experts, extensive historical research has
been made and number Of volumes compll-
ed about Negro men and women who have
helped to make history.
These books are rapidly finding their way
into school libraries all over the country. and
are being used by students for supplementary
reading.
An organization known as The Associa-
ton For The Study OF Negro Life and His
TORY is also rendering MUCH dludUlS SSlN lSS
in acquainting the public with the Negro S
historical achievements
Boys and girls of the race need not hang
their heads in Encouragement feeling that
there are no opportunities for Negroes Ne
groes have distinguished and are distinguish
ing themselves in almost every field of en-
deavor We have produced famous musical
composers. painters, educators scientists,
soldiers. orators statesmen, explorers, ath-
letes, inventors architects, physicians and
surgeons, business executives, prelates, and
LAWYERS
All over the world. Negroes have achiev-
ed fame and success in various lines Of en-
deavor and have contributed no little share
in the development Of civilized nations
From the building of the mighty pyramids
in Egypt. the exploring Of South and Central
America, the telling of forests and cultivat-
ing Of farms and plantations in the United
States up to the building of the last new Ford
automobile, Negroes have been on the job,
and have rendered skillful service
The Negro has an historical record of
which we need not be ashamed.

found In the past that colorcd
detectives have been very effec-
tive in detecting crime among our
people. !. They demand the re-
spect OF colored citizens and fol-
low up culprits, who do not head
their warning. For example, the
two detectives now assigned to
this precinct. George Rutherford
and Rex Smith, both scrgeants
have been credit 10 their race
and have received praise for their
work. They have won the re-
spect and loyalty Of every Negro In
the community The police exccu-
tivcs have used fine judgement in
tho assignment Of these two off,
Gers who have made good.
We feel that because this pre-
cinct has enough colored people
residing and doing business in IT,,
they are entitled 10 two more col
ored detectives.
