How study
Of Negro's
past began

How many of us know the heri-
tage of the Negro people?
Unfortunately, not enough of
us :. And for that reason, The
Chicago Star will publish a spe-
cial pictorial supplement in OBJ
servance of Negro History Week,
Feb. to is.
Negro History Week, highlight
of the Negro peoples struggle for
honest representation in Ameri-
cas- history, has its own rich his
tory.
FIRST OBSERVED in 1926,
Negro History Week was con-
ceived by the noted Negro his
torian and lecturer, Carter G..
Woodson Of Chicago. But the
week was a elimination of many
hard-won battles by progressive
forces across the nation.
Before Negro History Week
could be born, Woodson first
founded the Association for the
Study of Negro History, in Chi
cago in 1915. The whole cloth of
the Negro peoples contribution to
America began to emerge through
the associations research, and in
the columns of its quarterly pub
lication, the journal of Negro
History"
Many cultural and historical So
cieties followed the formation of
Woodson's association. Among
them was the DuSable Historical
Society, which paid tribute to the
pioneering Negro founder of Chi
cago.
IN THE EARLY '40s, the Ma
tional Negro Museum and His
torical Foundation was founded
in Chicago by many prominent
progressives. The museum con-
tinued the fight for observance OF
Negro History Week, and in 1946,
Edward J. Kelly, then mayor, and
Governor Dwight Green officially
proclaimed Negro History Week
This year The Chicago Star has
taken up the fight to demand
proclamation of Negro History
Week by Mayor Kennedy and
Gov. Green. And such prominent
public figures at Herold C. Hunt.
Chicago superintendent of schools
have expressed their support OF
The Stars drive.

Henry A. Wallace's third
party candidacy has caused
considerable confusion among
the political experts"
The Chicago Suns political
editor, Milburn P. Akers, for
example, whose paper is sup
porting President Truman, told
the City Club frankly this
week:
II would be very surprised
