WHY WE OBSERVE NEGRO
HISTORY WEEK
IAN Edit0riaN

To be precise, there is such thing as Negro His
tory; and week set aside to celebrate it would seem
much of the past that talked and taught generally
cudes minimizes what Negroes have said and DONE
This has given Negroes, especially the youth, dis
torted unbalanced and false picture of the past and has
been detrimental to progress toward full and equal
citizenship.
Behind the Negro History campaign is desire or
intention to spotlight the Negro at the of others
in the development of this country but simply to give
greater balance and perspective to picture distorted
by generations of writers.
This year, during the past nearly 80 years of
The Mississippi Enterprise will join in the observance of
National Negro History Week by publishing TWO
SPECIAL NEGRO HISTORY WEEK EDITIONS one
this week and next week and both to be dedicated
to fostering interracia goodwill by acquainting all Mis-
sssippians with just bit of the valuable and meritori-
contributions made to civilization by NEGROES OF

Lincoln Called
Foe Of Equality
BY the Associated Press

Author Carleton Putnam says
that in 1858 Abraham Lincoln
made it clear "that he did not
favor in any way the social or
political equality of the white
and black races"
Mr.. Putnam spoke last night
at a Lincoln Day dinner spon-
sored by the Washington Put
nam Letters Club. He is the
author of a book called Race
and Reason"
He said that in 1864 Lincoln
wrote to the Governor Of Loui-
siana barely suggesting his
hope that some very intelli-
gent Negroes might be ad-
mitted to the franchise-of
course under the control and
at the discretion. Of the States. I"
Discussing studies and re-
ports on racial development,
Mr.. Putnam contended there
are differences between the
races that are physical and
hereditary.
That they account for diff
ferences in temperament, be-
havior and intelligence between
the two races is beyond doubt. /"
he said. That these differences
make the amalgamation Of the
races undesirable is just as
clear"
