THE AVERAGE MAN is the most
important man on the face of the
earth. On his shoulder the destiny
of nations rests. He can direct the
course of human affairs.
The world is slowly but surely
awakening to this fact. There was
time when no man felt happy
being termed the average man."
He Immediately felt that he was
being depicted as one of a great
crowd who lives and dies unknown
and unregretted. He felt himself
just one in millions who had no
power and meant nothing in par
ticular to his generation. But times
are changing rapidly. The millions
are realizing their power, their i'm
portance, their responsibility. The
millions are beginning to have
something to say about the way
this world is being run; they are
buckling down to the task of doing
their part in making the world a
better place to live in.
WE, THE AVERAGE NEGRO,
have longer way to go in this di-
rection than the average white
man. Of course this is largely due
to our having started late. Be-
cause of our late start the masses
of our people are not as fully
awake to their responsibilities and
possibilities as the white masses
about them.
Since emancipation, we, the Ne.
gro, have shown more or less q
disposition to keep abreast of the
great army of whites with whom
we have dwelt. We have shown an

Defends Catholic
Church Policies

Editor: In your issue of June
u, 1941, there appeared a letter
with a caption, "Raps Papers Edi-
torial." The cowardly writer seek
ing refuge in anonymity by sign
ing himself or herself "B. E. F."
has launched an attack on my
church.
Our mystery writer" charges
that two "Jim Crow" churches have
been built in our city. That state
ment is without foundation in
fact, and wholly untrue. The
churches that have been erected
are for the worship of all the faith
full Negroes and whites alike. A
casual visit to either of these
churches at any and all times will
disclose that the worshippers are
made up of both groups. Every
one, even our mystery" writer
is cordially invited and welcome.
The church's policy of Christian
ideals approximates more closely
true democracy than any other in
stitution in the world of today.
Had I the space l could conclu-
sively prove that it is not a ques-
ton of discrimination, as is al
legged, but one of intensifcation.
These churches are an integral
part in every particular of the
Holy Mother Church and already
genuine and rational understand
ing is perceptibly bearing fruit.
This mystery" writer fear has
an obsession, the results of a dis
torted, bigoted and prejudiced
mind. 1t would have been far more
charitable to have sought informa-
ton from we'll informed and au-
thentic sources as to the real cause
or causes underlying the erection
of the aforementioned churches
and not revel in speculation and
imagination.
Note, the writer's unfairness and
narrowness in his desire to calum-
Mate the church, cites an isolated
case about Catholic schools which
am inclined to believe is an ex-
aggeration like his previous state
ment. He conveniently omits to
state the many Catholic schools of
learning in which our colored boys
and girls are enrolled. Notre Dame
has a high scholastic proficiency
and the entrance requirements are
correspondingly high. Perhaps our
colored youth could not measure up
to the standards set. I have since
wondered whether the writer at
tempted to confirm the boys state
ment, but if "B. E. F." would be
gracious enough to send me the

NEGROES DISSATISFIED
By Ray Tucker in Tuesdays
Minneapolis Tribune

President Roosevelt's executive
order banning discrimination
against Negroes in defense fac
tories has averted temporarily the
projected protest march on the
capitol. But it has not given COM
plete satisfaction to the sponsors
of that demonstration.
Mr.. Roosevelt's order was not so
far-reaching as those who con-
ferred with him at the White
House had anticipated. They had
understood that he would fix GER
tain percentage Of Negroes who
must be hired by plants having
government contracts.
They expected him to ask labor
unions to suspend provisions in
their constitutions which prevent
Negroes from becoming members,
That is the chief barrier to en-
ployment of colored persons in the
skilled trades.
Also they left the White House
believing that FDR would provide
specifically that two members Of
the fair employment practices com,
mittee (the policing agency SHOULD
be of their race. Mr.. Roosevelt die
not fulfill their expectations on any
of these points.

increase each year among those
who are preparing themselves
along educational lines to measure
up with their white brothers. This,
however, has been only by the hun
dreds. There are more than fifteen
millions of us in America. Most
of these millions are not yet con-
sciOus of their powers.
HOW TO AWAKEN our sleeping
millions is a most important ques-
ton. The sooner we discover the
answer to this question, the sooner
the race will begin to recover from
many of the ills, which at this time
appear to be chronic.
The early solution of the "race
problem" and the complete eman-
cipation of Negroes, lie in the
hands of the average Negro"
The race may produce genius
each day in the year, but the stand
ing of the group will never be high
err than that of the average Negro.
THE AVERAGE MAN, black or
white, is the man who strikes
happy medium in his way of think
ing and living. He was born with
the average capacity to assimilate
knowledge and make decisions. He
is neither good nor bad, but his
reactions are normal. He is at his
best when he is just a sincere, hon
est, thoughtful human being trying
to make the best of his life with
the tools at hand. Little or much,
he is doing his best.
THE AVERAGE NEGRO must
realize in greater numbers his i'm
portance to his group if he expects
to play his part in promoting his
security and advancement, as the
average white man is playing, in
promoting the security and adj
vancement of white folks.
The AVERAGE NEGRO must
cease to be satisfied with his ig-
norance. The AVERAGE NEGRO
must cease to play when he ought
to be working. The AVERAGE
NEGRO must cultivate more re-
spect for his leadership in spite of
what may be its shortcomings, for
our only hope rests in Negro lead
ership. The AVERAGE NEGRO
must display more respect for him
self and that which is his. The
AVERAGE NEGRO must cease to
rest upon his oars because a few
white men and a few over opti-
mistic Negroes continually sing
praises to race progress. Be not
deceived; millions of Negroes are
yet sound asleep, and until they
wake up, Negro progress will
be measured by centuries instead
of decades.
