BY FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS

l was out of college before
I learned more than smatter-
ing of Negro history. It just
wasn't taught. And because
that's the prevailing education
al pattern, we have Negro His
tory Week in February of each
year.
I'll feel much better when
we won't need a Negro History
Week, when the truth about
all the peoples who make up
America is standard part of
our schooling. But that time
has not yet arrived, particular
ly for students in preponder-
antly white institutions.

by the ICC ON the permanent
boost before April %, or 1t auto

Chief feature of the hearing

THE CTA, which had demon
strated at length the folly" of
fare increases last year, when it
filed it's brief with the Circuit
Court of Appeals defending the
municipal ownership plan, indi-
Gated that it did not intend to op-
pose fare boosts. The city adj
illustrations attitude, expressed
at the hearing by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel William H. Sex
ton, was that defeat of the pro-
posed increases might endanger
the sale of CTA bonds needed to
finance CTA acquisition of the
lines.
The only appearance in opposi-
ton to the increased fare was
that of Alfred Kamin of the City
Club, who read a long, carefully
documented statement which in
Dictated that an increase in fares
would not only be unlikely to in
crease the revenue on future
value of the streetcar lines, but
would be likely to lower them.
A noticeable silence greeted
Kamin's revelation that he was
quoting from the CTA brief pre-
pared last year.
Sc
KAMIN went on to make the
additional points that Chicago
streetcar rides are not worth even
the current eight cents, and that
an approval of a temporary in
crease would make a permanent
increase inevitable.

At Kansas State College l
studied journalism. Once the
vice president, a DR.. Willard,
called me into his office and
asked, with a kind of patreniz-
ing anxiety: "Are you sure
you're taking the right course?
Are there Negro papers on
which you can work after you
finish?" AS his mouth opened
in amaZement, 1 assured this
educator that I felt reasonably
certain some one of the nearly
200 Negro publications might
be able to find an opening.
THIS GENERAL ignorance
of Negroes is no accident. 1t
is a deliberate plot to drive a
wedge between white and
black Americans on the ground
that the Negro is an inferior
creature, and discrimination is
therefore justified. More adj
vanced sections of organized
labor and progressives recog-
nize the prevailing silence on
Negro history as a divisive
weapon welded by the Big
Bosses to maintain discord and
prevent forging united front
for democracy.
For when white working
class Americans learn of the
militant struggles by Ne
grOes for freedom, of Negro
contributions to our eiViliZa-
ton and of the mighty cuI-
lures of Africa, racism will
lose its power to divide.
That's the purpose of Negro
History Week. You can help
reach this goal by inviting
speakers to your organizations
and holding discussions during
the coming week-and keeping
these activities in mind all
year.
