By ROBERT DURR

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-Races and
nations progress in proportion as
their women are emancipated and
are accorded or achieve equality as
human beings.
The New South is in reality a
state Of mind in which there is a
growing recognition of the impor-
lance of full emancipation Of col
ored women from the status Of
servants Of white people.
Even though it may entail
great deal Of sacrifice, cOlOred
people must hack out an economic
foundation upon which to build
economic freedom, and black out
in the thinking of white people
that which makes them shackle
COlOred men and women. to very
large degree in their place
servants for white people under
conditions under which white
people would rather die than live.
There is a Negroes problem
which stands apart from the So
called Negro problem. saw it one
day as ! walked down the main
street Of a great city in the Deep
South. Sitting on a shoe shine stand
were Is white men who were hav-
ing their shoes shined by IS young
colored men all dressed in khaki
cOlored uniforms. dare say the
average young white man in that
community would die before he
would shine the boots Of a colorcd
man.
Further along the same street.
saw three colorcd girls down on
their knees and stopped Over-their
underwear showing too much
shining the brass at the base Of
the door and walls Of cafe for
whites only. Over these girls, who
seemed to be about IS or II years
old, stood a white man, haughtily
and imperiously directing their
work.
II "a white woman had stopped
me and asked the way to the post
Office, and had attempted to
tell her, most of the native white
men in that block would have
stopped TO ask what the woman
and | were talking about.
recall that an excellent social
worker, and incidentally a colored
man, was assigned to direct a de
partmcnt of a great relief program
in this city during the hectic de
preston days of 1882.
A white woman stenographer was
assigned by IA liberal white man

In the United States supreme
court, Miss Sipuel reasserts that
the refusal to admit her to the

because of race and color is a

1t appears that this case is on

facts and the law are similar T.
those involved in the Gaines case,
and if the decision of the United
States supreme court in the Gaines
case had been followed Miss Sipucl
would have been admitted to the

But in refusing to follow the de

Of cOlOred men died fighting in

fact that the coIored dead in the
navy spreads over a list of some
$50 typewriter pages. not one
of them was gallant enough or

even pOsthumOuSly. to say moth
ing of those who fought and lived.
Less than a half dozen received
the Distinguished Service Cross
or the Navy Cross, the second
highest awards for fighting men.
Can you imagine how a colored
veteran feels when he sees a civil
ian who merely passed through his
bivouac after the war was over
now receiving the highest award

Who can blame the veteran if
his mind wanders back to his pal

who had been an invalid for
three years and that it was at
that time she and her brother
introduced the Modern Funeral
Home to Boston.
In keeping with the title
Modern Funeral Home" the
Reds establishment has been
renovated three times. Features
that it offers are: a Gothic ar
chitectural design externally and
internally; an enlarged chapel
(the largest colored one in
Greater Boston,; an elevator
system between the mortuary
and slumber rooms; slumber
room; a dimming system; a
speaker system between the
main and a second chapel; an
all-tile mortuary with the latest
equipment and appliances and
other sanitary features to pro-
vide for the greatest cleanliness
and health measures; and ac-
comodationS for out of town
relatives of the deceased. Mrs.
MacKerrow states that whenever
new or additional features ap-
pear she will not hesitate to in
clude them.
Independent Of the funeral
service, Mrs. MacKerrow has
conducted her own business
since 1910. A pioneer in the fun
eral business she was the first
colored woman to ride a hearse
and was one of the first to direct
funerals in this area.
Although kept busy by these
business, Mrs MacKerrow, sens
ing her civic responsibility, has
been a very active leader. For
many years she was a member
of the Executive Board and
treasurer of the Wonen's Sarv-
ice Club and a member of the
Executive Board of the NAACP
Boston branch. She has been
and still is vice president of the
Harriet Tubman House.

by its own preference adhering
strictly to its own racial sphere
of activity and without inter-
visitation, he said,
He declared that "Freemas-
onry seeks to build character
and promote brotherhood am
ong all men. These detectives
have nothing TO do with race
or color or social or economic
status, In this country, the well
fare and the future of the
white and colored people are
interdependent and largely
identical. Each has its own
schools and colleges and
colleges and churches and So
cieties, but both have the same
ultimate hopes and aspirations:
both make common sacrifices in
defense of their single country;
both read the same periodicals,
hear the same radio programs
and enjoy or suffer together
the triumphs or failures of our
national well-being; and each
is affected by the material and
spiritual welfare of the other"

Of the date Of the acts them

Documentary evidence was
found that African Lodge No.

dent of Boston, named Prince
Hall, was Master, was granted q
permet' in 1778 by John Rowe of
Boston, who was then Provincial
Grand Master over North Amer
lea, where no other Provincial

The original charter of Afri-
Sept. 20, 1874. The Lodge began
to function in 1887. Today the
colored people have the Prince
Hall Grand Lodge, F. g. AM. of
Massachusetts,.
Regarding any other coIored
groups who claim to be Masons,
the committee reported that we
have found no evidence in sup
port Of such claims and our
conclusion thus far is that the 50
called Prince Hall Freemasonry
is alone entitled to any claim OF
legitimacy among colored people
of this Commonwealth.

who has long been a student Of

Grand Lodge committee, said to-
day that the group had recently
inspected the original charter OF
African Lodge, No. 459, granted
by authority of the Duke of
Cumberland, Grand Master Of
our own Mother Grand Lodge of
England, dated Sept. %, 1874, APP
pointing Prince Hall, a colored
resident of Boston, to be its
Master. He stated that there is
no other lodge In America which
now possesses an original chart
er granted to it by authority OF
the Grand Lodge of England.
He added that some years ago
he began an exhaustive study of
Colored Freemasonry in Ameri-
ca with the expectation of pre-
pairing an address for the pur-
pose of showing all colored Free

study resulted in satisfying him,
instead, that the Prince Hall
