Can Receive Diplomas

The State High School Accredit-
ing Commission has approved a
policy with reference to gradua-
ton for youngsters who enter the

conditions being set forth by the
commission under which seniors,
white and colored, who enter the
service may receive high school
diplomas.
A senior pupil who successfully
completes the first half of the 9

one half unit of credit in each of
the full unit subjects pursued. Then
after completion of the basic ira
lining program of the armed forces
and upon receipt of statement
from the commanding officer GER
tifying to the successful compile !?
ton of basic training, credit will
be given for military training equi-
valent to the amount of credit

The Michigan chronicle. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1936-current, 1943-12-18

Mixed blood descendants Of the
original slaves brought in by the
Spanish and of the runaway slaves
from Texas still live at many points
along Mexico's Pacific Coast. How
ever. since the people of Mexico
don't bother much about a mans
race. the Negro has been all but
assimilated into he rest OF the
population.
Which means that millions of
Mexico's citizens have Negro blood
In their veins. And that proves
again the main point which I wish
to make In this series-that the Gull
ture and peoples Of Latin America
are not just Spanish or Spanish
Indian but Spanish-Indian-Africsn
Vera Cruz Mixtures
The important port of Vera Cruz
has sizeable group Of people iden-
tifiable as Negroes, bearing Spanish
names, follow g the Catholic re-
ligion, and observing the common
customs of other Mexicans. Just
across the border from Texas, there
is Negroid -emnant OF the Semi
mole Indian tribe. expelled by heir
fellow tribesmen in the United
States because the Seminole faith
ers of the group married Negro
women.
Possibly the most important
colony of Mexican Negroes is to be
found appropriately enough in the
port Of Acalpuco which Morales
loved. These Negroes are known
as the BLACK Indians of Acapulco"
They have been described by a
United States army engineer who
crossed the Isthmus of Tehuantepec
in the middle Of the 10th century as
being generally robust and indus
trious, applying themselves to the
cultivation Of indigo" as we'll as
certain other agricultural products
II was in Acapulco that Morales,
the country priest, learned that his
fellow-patriot and fellow-priest, the
gallant Miguel Hidalgo, had been
executed by the Spsniards for start
ing the revolution of the Mexican
nation.
There Is a local legend in Acapul-
co that the Negroes OF that city en-
couraged their kinsman, Morales.
grief-stricken over the death Of his
friend and teacher in that summer
of 1911. I cannot vouch for the
truth OF that story except to say
that il could very well have hap
pened. But anybody who has ever
read history can vouch for the brav.
