| l have read several articles expressing

has been no article any more explicit
ing contributions made by Negroes
since 1900 to the world in general and
to America in particular than the arti-
Gle appearing in the above stated issue
of this paper.
The article bears the following titles
Summary, Last Weeks Research In
Negro History" and particularized with
topic Bright Stars Since the Stars Fell"
by Mr.. Robert K. Smith. How plain
and impressive were the analysis given
Facts of such activities should be closely
observed by the Negro youth and used

and unpnized pieas) to obtain rcog-
milton in this worlds service in all

(the facts will serve basic proof OF
Negro tfficincy from ancient to mod
ern times. One can see from the facts
given Though the above stated article
given by Mr.. Smith that quality is not
the handicap of the Negro of today
For What man has done man can do"
Too, Mr.. Smith points out that these
are fallen stars Once occupied the

point brilliant Negro racial stars do

Yes, there are stars the purpose OF
of which science telescope has revealed
unto astronomy since these stars fell.
And there are stars unreasonable dis
tance-the purpose and character of
which has yet not been revealed unto
astronomy. Those whip are contributing
progressively to the Negro race now are
those who have been recently discov-
cred but when they are fallen others
will be discovered.
