Lester Granger
On Demonstrations

Though the Urban League
does not function in the area of
public demonstrations = whether
picket line or any other sort =
we see these sit-inS as an eX-
preston of protest by Negro
young people against environ
mental handicaps, failure of lead
ership to overcome them, and an
actual conspiracy of old-line po-
litical leadership to deprive Ne
gro young people of their right
full future Seen in this light, the
sit-in demonstrations are not only
therapeutic for those in engaging
i'll them at considerable physical
risk, but they serve as a solemn
warning to the nation-at-large."

Director, National Urban League.

pact on emergent Nigeria today
and are destined for an important
place in the pages of modern
African history.
They stand for Samuel Ladoke
Akintola, lawyer, newspaperman,
teacher, politician, Chief, and
now Premier of Nigeria's fast
growing, bustling Western Re-
gion.
Fifty-year-old S. L. A., as he's
commonly called, has emerged
from Nigeria's struggle for lnde-
nendence = now scheduled for
October /. 1860 - as the most
promising new major leader on
the African scene.
A man of keen intelligence and
a straight shooter" S: L. A. IS
respected by friend and foe alike.
He is, without doubt, one Of the
shrewdist politicians on the con-
tinent, a political realist who sim
cerely believes that politics real
ly matter.
Active in Nigerian politics
since 1851, Chief Akintola has
been charged with every polltl-
cal crime his opponents could
conceivably conjure up. He is the
sort of person who revels in con-
troversy, indeed stimulates 1t.
S. L. A. never sits on political
fences. His credo is that when
one disagrees one should say SO
in no uncertain terms. He never
permits anyone to get away with
false claims, wild statements or
procrastinationS. To S. L. A. poll
tics are not a game but the SER
ious business of nation-bulldlng.
His twinkling eyes, bright
smile and ready wit tend to dis
concert the unwary.

The NAACP Story
Courtesy Pittsburgh Courier
Publishing co.,

Publishing co..
HOW DID THE NAACP get its
start? Was it started by advanced
thinkers among Negroes who were
determined to do something
about the intolerable conditions
under which most Negroes lived
at the beginning of this century?
Or did the NAACP come into
being because of a sense of out
rage, felt by some whites as the
result of specific tragic happen
.irgs? It is popular to assume.
that the NAACP was a logical
development of the So-called
Niagara Movement, a conference
of Negro leaders first held IN
Niagara Falls in 1905. It may,
indeed, have been a logical de-
velopment, but the Niagara
Movement could have persisted
for years, as it did, and there
would have been no NAACP..
Something, else had to happen.
The story has been well told
by Mary White Ovington, at the
time a New York social worker,
and much of that story is re-.
peated in THE NATIONAL AS
ISOLATION OF COLORED PEO-
PIE, case study in pressure
groups by DR.. Warren D. St.
James. One must imply from this
story that if there had been no
race riot in Springfield, Ill, in
1903, the NAACP would not have
been founded when it was and in
the manner it was.
The second annual meeting OF
the Niagara Movement was held
in Harper's Ferry, w. Va, in
1906. Oswald Garrison Willard,
owner of the New York Evening
Post, sent a young social work
er, Miss Ovington, to cover this
conference. 1t was at this meet
ing that the interest of Miss
Ovington in the plight of Ameri-
can Negroes was stimulated. 1t
was stimulated even more IN
1908 after the Springfield riot.
William English Walling, a white
Kentuckian, and his wife, both
journalists, had just returned
from Russia. They were in Chi
cago at the time of the riot. They
went to Springfield and wrote an
article about the riot for the
then highly popular Independent,
a magazine edited by Hamilton
Holt,

The Arizona Sun:


You asked me to send you
news of Liberia for your news
paper. l have been kept so busy
that's the reason why you have
not heard from me.
Liberia has been in a state of
ceremonies during the Fourth In
ausuration of President Tubman.
The Fourth Inauguration of
President Tubman was the grand
est we have ever had since the
year 1847. We had representa-
tives from sixty-four nations. 1t
covered the period from January
third to the seventh of the cur
rent year.
The Inaugural Ceremonies are.
all over now and we are engaged
in readjustments incident to the
formation of a new administra-
ton The Executive Government
has been organized. A week ago,
the Ambassadors were confirmed
by the Liberian Senate and
their qualification is due shortly.
Our economic life is improving.
Our National financial intake has
increased from twentymillion to
tWenty-four million dollars. Our
revenues are definitely on an up
ward rise and we would there
fore be in the position to con-.
tinue our development projects;
the building of more roads, more
hospitals, more schools and more
sanitary centers. We should be
happy about this.
The world is still moving and
Africa is also within the circuit.
The States of Kenya, Nyaasa-
land, Rhodesia, etc. are all march
ing toward freedom. 1t is graft
flying to note that the European
Nations that brought these States
into being are willing to guide
them to freedom. We thoroughly
appreciate that with freedom
there are related responsibilities.
We must fairly meet them to-
wards fruitful solution.
