crime that a slave could commit.
Even today the greatest crime
that white or black commit is
to learn to read and write-pil-
itically--to learn the abc's of why
things are and what we can do
about them together.
This new life of Douglass is
an important contribution to the
growing literature on Negro his
tory, which is the crying need
of our day the knowledge of
the heroic struggles of the Negro
people from the very first days
of slavery in the Colonies to free
themselves from bondage. Every
one should know that in the I'M
speakable days of chattel slavery
the American Negro fought like
an angered tiger for his freedom,
that the Underground railroad was
his creation, that the Abolition
list movements pioneers were Ne
groes, that that movements great
est source of strength were Ne
groes such as Frederick Douglass.
All should know that the Negro
people earned their freedom by
fighting for it, and by 80 doing

Marjorie, who plans to start a
local business, was one of the
first wartime workers to take a
job in the Pentagon Building in
Washington, d. c.
"Ill never forget that place. 1t
was thrilling. They told me to
report to '1-C-9-3-2-A' and
wondered what all that meant.

First Floor, C Wing, Ninth Cor
ridor, Third Section, Second Aisle
and A Division. The abreviations
gave everything but my Social
Security number and the time of
day."
Despite their fathers long re-
cord of employment. the Pitters
are concerned about the future.
The daughters recognize the diff.
ficulties they face in obtaining
jobs, though their education Is
excellent.
Mrs. Pitter's features clouded
with anxiety.
Our people have long recogniz-
ed the truth of the saying, Last
hired and first fired" she said.
Il wonder when this will end?"

jobs = but the pioneers to which
they SO glibly refer did not have
easy lives and their work was
not that to which they were ac-
customed. They had to learn.
Youth today has the opportunity
of going on from where the prev
,ous generation left off, with the
same initiative, resourcefulness
and adaptability. They can go
further because of the efforts of
those who proceeded them.
Mans opportunity is limited
only by mans knowledge and his
ability to utilize his experience.
There Is always a place in the
world for the learning individual
= he who thinks who wants
to give his best and to make bis
work the means of helping others.
The frontiers are not closed.
Beyond them lies a challenge to
stir the courageous in heart and
spirit challenge to do and
dare, and to find out!

So instead of just one week
a year being devoted to Negro
History, every week in the year
should be Negro history week.
Books such as A Star Pointed
North and many, many others
which are out and coming out
should be read and circulated and

Negro people have bestowed up
