Abolish Negro History Week?

The recent observance of National Negro History
Week let loose stream of hitherto unsupported
tions.
An increasingly vocal group of Negroes is raising
question about the desrabty of continuing to observe
the Week" They not only using the old arguments
that zone week for the consideration of Negro History
not enough" that such observance seems cheap
form of racial propaganda and that the national observ
of the Week" has proven Ineffective Now added
to these dissenting views, the argument that in
the light of the Negroes current fight for educational
ntegraton it seems inconsistent and i'll advised to
phasize Negro history such.'
The arguments are plausible But they are not
fundamental They are not fundamental the major
objective of the observance of Negro History Week
which primarily to present for the record facts about
the Negro which will raise racial serespect and the
spect of others for the group.
It is agreed that over-suppy of consciousness
does group good But is equally true that too little
racial seespect and consciousness of worth tends to
develop destructive nferiorty completes which do the
guilty group good and makes it liability for the
whole community
Negro History Week does great good, if
than calling attention the fact that the Negro long
western scene. Furthermore with Hollywood the Amer
lean press, the American ndustrialst, and other de-
terminng factors in lives, just coming to the
point of treating the Negro with growing degree of
dignity and respect human being, it prema-
ture to be advocating the complete deeton of the Ne
gro distinct personality the American horizon
1t is to be.noted that even among those who have
ostensiby been ntegrated in this country there is
continuing tendency to preserve their distinctive identi
ty The Irish still set themselves apart their ST. Pat
rick's Day observance The Jews continue their Yom
Kuppur and other religious observances. The Scotch,
Italians English and virtually all other groups in this
melting pot nation, record for pubczing their
distnctiveness regularly.
Why should the Negro take the lead in committing
himself to obscurity and anonymity for the sake of
less mythical integration?

GIVE THE LORD THAT HEART
FOR A NEW HEART, NOT A
BRAIN.
The people send the big man out,
The love of God sends out the
small.
The little man is full of the Holy
Ghost,
And answers where God calls.
Unless you come as little child,
The big man can't get in
Jesus say | am the way,
The Holy Ghost will let you in.
Jesus is the door keeper of Gods
Kingdom,
With His cleaning blood on the
cross.
No lords and kings are fit to die,
Jesus paid it all with His blood He
lost.
Unless we come on one accord,
We can't be brothers and sisters
in Christ.
He said for US to love We one
another,
If we expect eternal life.
Christ made it plain for the poor
one,
To be saved if they only believed.
believe on the Christ that shed
His blood,
For the saints to fall on their
knees.
God will not use a divided race,
We must love one another he says
to me.
Born of the Spirit of Christ,
In your soul it must be free.
Christ said to one that goes for all,
To love one another regardless of
race.
He ask for our old heart,
1t was not the color of our face.
White has no color in it at all,
1t is not supremacy above all.
Christ shed his blood for every
race,
And no certain color that He call.
God has an unseen eye for us all,
And mercy for both young and old.
Gods Church is US, the heart of
His people,
And His love is in full control.
God is sending you message,
Through the columns of this press
We must love We one another,
If we are looking to be blessed.
