History Week And Its Founder
By wILHELMlNA N. cRossoN

The Association for the Study of Race Life and History
was organized in Chicago by Carter G. Woodson Septem
Der g. and Incorporated under the laws of the Dis
trict of Columbia October g. 1915 The purpose of the
organization set forth to collect sociological and
historical data bearing the colored American to publish
books Race Life and History to promote study through
clubs and schools and to bring about harmony between
the races by interpreting the one to the other.
In January 1916 the founder brought out the first is
sue of the Journal of Race History which has been pub
lshed regularly every quarter This publication be
found in all large libraries and accredited colleges and is
one of the best historical magazines published.
In 1922 the association enabled by grant from
the Laura Speman Rockefeller Memorial to undertake
systematic research Prior to that time its investigation
had been purely voluntary This project resulted in the
publication of fifteen monographs embracing almost every
aspect of Race History.
In 1926 the Association began the celebration of His
tory Week inviting the public to give special attention to
the achievements of the Colored American This done
to furnish basis for greater sefrespect in the children
who are descendants of an enslaved race.
In 1921 Mr.. Woodson organized the Associated Pub
fishers produce pictures of colored Americans not gen
orally accepted by other firms.
With the cooperation of minister's teachers the press
and professional and businessmen throughout the country
the celebration proved to be an unusual success
The celebration of History Week should be the occasion
for making all groups cognzant of the contribution the
colored American making the United States and other
countries We must educate ourselves that will
worthy of the historical heritage which forebear
made this country To be able to start children right
and keep them going in tee right direction must pre-
sent them historical facts that they will have data to
defend not only their for being here but their M
aenabe right TO life liberty and the pursuit Of happin
ess"

age; it's the leopard'S blat Of our
own land. We do not have to
stretch our eyes to see the lynch
ings of Mississippi; we suffer
from the caste system right here
in Mass. BY and large Americas
caste system is the Number One
Problem for the DOUGLASS
SPIRIT to attack.
Under the laShings OF public
opinion the Caste System is win
ming appeaserS, who uphold it by
saying you cannot legislate pref
udice out of the hearts of men.
True! BY the same token we an
swer you can't stop men from
numbering their brothers but the
electric chair makes many a
would-be Cain halt and change
his mind before Staying his
brother. There are those who say
soft-pedal the appeal for a ma
tional lynch law, for the South
is proud and sensitive and will
clean up her own back yard. A
national law with penalties and
fines will cause the slow-moving
South to get busy. Either the
South is going to pull our Ma
ton down, or our Nation is 60
ing to pull the South up. A free
nation to be free must be free in
all its parts. The caste system is
a noisome system that must be
uprooted branch and all. The up
roofing is going to make an awful
scar, but one that will save the
nations life.
Douglass, the slaves greatest
spokesman is Americas North
Star. Our nation does well to stop
take her bearings, chart her
course, and sail for the PORT OF
FREEDOM for all Americans,
Only by so doing is the freedom
Of the free made secure.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-02-21

In these words Lincoln inter-
preted unconsciously the mission
Of Douglass. Thank God the
white race has not cornered the
market of all great Americans
born in February. White and
black Americans could enrich
American life by telling the ma
ton more about Douglass. wash
ington is the ship builder of state,
Lincoln the captain, and Doug
lass the North Star to give guild
ance to our course.
Douglass as a slave suffered all
the deep damnation of the slave
system and escaped it with his
soul tortured to tell the American
people of this national cancer. He
saw clearly that slavery kept in
bondage not only the slave but
the master, and all who profited
from slave traffic. He saw even
the freedom of the free hanging
in the balance and found want
ing. He consecrated his entire
life to the cause of sweeping from
our land the last vestige of physi-
cal slavery.
We all know. his work is not
completed. The truth is, it is just
begun, for the primary task of ali
nations is to make their people
free from all manner of slavery.
There are as many forms of it
as diseases. And always it is
breaking out in some new form,
for deep in the human heart lies
buried the evil desire to enSlave
his fellowman. Wo do not have to
look across the seas to see bond

company if you do that. Prot
estants, Catholics, and Jewish

Presidents Committee on Civil

was headed by Charles E. VIII

Another thing l can't under
stand is how brotherhood comes
into the picture when good smart
American kids are kept out Of
some colleges just on account of
their race or religion or because
they have a foreign-sounding
name.
''If you believe in brotherhood
you believe in giving opportunity
to every American. That's what
America stands for, isn't it-an
opportunity for every man regard
less of race, creed, or name?
That certainly means opportunity
to get good education. I'm as
Stunning Of course, that we be-
lieve in brotherhood, If we do, l
think we ought to go to work and
open up the doors of opportunity
for an education to ALL America
children.
IF we start working for real
brotherhood we'll see that what
we need isn't a week Of it, but
twelve months of it, 1855 days a

Il read in the papers that
people all over the country are
observing Brotherhood Week.
That's good thing for America
because it draws us all closer to-
gether and reminds us that we
are one American people-strong
enough, SO long as we stay united,
to overcome the Fascists who try
to divide us and make us hate
one another.
"But, if you don't mind my
saying so, I'm a little bit tired of
hearing so much talk about
brotherhood and seeing some of
the same people who talk about it
do so little to act as if they be-
lieved what they said.
Nov to me it isn't brotherhood
when my fellow Americans, who
are colored, are told that they
can't work at jobs they can do as
we'll as anyone else-iust because
they hapen to be colored. If that's
brotherhood, you'll have to ex-

Was somewhat surprised to
hear the Answer Man, on WNAC,
state that the colored American

Lift Every Voice and Sing"
was even more surprised to find
that some of OUR folks call
James Weldon Johnson's song
"our'' National Anthem. Know
everybody that JoI1nson's song is
called I the National Negro
Hymn" and should not be mis-
represented as the song of a ma
ton within a nation. Our Ma
tional Anthem is 1.-THE Star Span

of every loyal citizen of the Uni

take of referring to Johnson's

some persons to suspect the 10y

has been definitely demonstrated
in every activity and crisis of this
