February IA To Be Observed As PROUD American Day"

According to an article by
Albert N. d. Brooks, the Asso-
citation for the Study of Negro
Life and History is sponsoring
Proud American Day" on Fri
day, February IA. This celebra-
ton on February IA, will be-
come a regular feature of Ne
gro History Week, now being
celebrated throughout the
country.
The birthday of Frederick
Douglass has been chosen for
proud American Day" be-
cause the life of Douglass is
typical of what the celebration
commentaries. In the more
backward days of our country,
there came out of the "Ameri-
can Melting Pot" Frederick
Douglass, who rose from the
depth of slavery to high posi-
tons in government. He was
indeed proud American"
The Association for the Study
of Negro Life and History has
set dual goals for proud Am
erican Day." First, it hopes to
stimulate pride in the great
American heritage, and Sec
ondly, through the examples
of others who overcame even
far greater difficulties, it seeks
to inspire individuals, as re-
sponsible citizens doing the
best they can in whatever they
do, to make personal contribu-
tons to the greatness of Amer
lea.
The association sponsors
proud American Day. in the
hope that many people not
only will wear proud Ameri-
can" buttons, but also, they
will pledge to seek the enlight-
ment which will help them to
understand why they should
be proud Of their heritage,
proud of America and proud
of their own individual ACHE
vement.
On Friday the 14th, every
one should proudly wear his
proud American" button and
there should be proud Amer
lean Day" speakers for appro-
pirate celebrations. Interested
persons should write: Associa-

Rev. W. IA. Johnson Releases
Deliberations Of Boord Meeting Of
General Baptist Convention

KOSCIUSKO, Miss. - The
following report of the first
Board meeting of the General
Missionary Baptist State Con-
vention of Mississippi, held
Tuesday, January %, 1858 at
the Clark Street Baptist Chur-
Oh, Rev. c. L. West, pastor, has
been released by Rev. w. M.
Johnson of Tbs North Jackson
Street, Kosciusko:
''The meeting was officially
called to order at 10 a. m. by
r. w. West, who automatically
became president after the
death of DR.. H. H. Humes. The
Rev. w. P. Davis (white) and
another white minister were
present. Each made very en-
couraging remarks. The Rev.
Davis was added to the board
of directors of our convention,
and several vacancies were fill
ed on the board with our col
Ored ministers.
Time came for real bust
ness of the board meeting. The
Rev. p. E. Lott, first vice presi-
dent of the convention arose
and offered a resolution in
honor of the late DR.. H. H.
Humes, after which he pre-
sented Rev. r. w. West, who
began his remarks like this,
he said, I don't have to run
for presidency of this con-
vention, | am already presi-
dent and if any of you are
thinking about running you
will be running against me-
His statement was providen-
TALLY right, b Ut logically
wrong, because the passing of
DR.. Humes only gave him
rights until the term is out in
July of this year. If and when
he reads his message, and the
reports from all sources of the
convention are made at that
time all offices will be vacant,
ard no one will be running
against Rev. West, for he will
have to run again himself to
remain president of the con-
