The papers were among the
charter members of the National
Negro Publishers Assn, now the
National Newspaper Publishers
Assn. They have been affiliated
as members with the Minnesota
Newspaper Assn, longer then any
other Negro publications. The
papers publisher has served as
chairman Of an association COM
mittee and as a member Of COM
mittees of the association.
In 1949 as part Of the celebra-
ton Of the Minnesota Territorial
Centennial, the publisher Of the
Spokesman and Recorder was
named In a statewide poll as
one Of The The Hundred Liv-
ing Great of Minnesota"

Many a Negro family owes its
stability 10 a job secured through
the efforts Of the papers.
Editorial attacks on police brut-
atty and the wholesale arrest Of
Negroes when a crime had been
committed was another campaign
which the Spokesman and Re
corder successfully carried on. It's
rare instance these days when
a Twin City law enforcement Of
ffcer Is accused of brutality, in
spired by the race of an arrested
person.
The papers were instrumental in
opening Of the chief hotels In both
cities to Negro guests. The first
banquet given by Twin City Ne
groes in a large hotel was a testi-
monial given by 21 Negro organ
izations for Cecil Newman In 1912
for Thirteen Years Of Unselfish
Community Service" The affair
was held at the then Nicollet Hotel,
which became the first hotel, under
Neil Messick to accommodate Negro
guests under the same basis and
condition as all other guests.
The banquet was attended by
100 people from all walks of life
from the most humble to some
of the top figures In the state.
The State Supreme Court jus
tice Luther YOungdahl could not
buy a ticket on the day Of the
banquet because Of q sell-out
The publisher though apprecia-
tive Of the testimonial which was
promoted and arranged without
his knowledge by a committee
headed by the late Talmadge B.
Carey, was discounted because he
thought 1t came too early In his
life - he was only 40 years old at
the time.
He explained in this fashion:
From now on I'll be on the spot.
I would have preferred that this
great honor had come later in
hfe-at least ten years later"
Today in the Twin Cities the
top hotels compete for the bus
mess of the Negro community.
The Spokesman and Recorder
papers made the first contacts
for the establishment Of the
United Negro College Fund
Campaign in this state, through
which MinnesOtans Of all classes
have contributed approximately
100000 to the Negro private
colleges In the South, from
which the bulk Of present day
Negro leadership has come.

Both papers inspired the form
alton of the Twin City Council of
Negro Organizations, the AZ men,
Der group which has been spear
heading a number of civic and
communal activities in recent
years.
In 1861, Cecil Newman, editor
Of the papers received the Coun-
ciTs "CitlZen of the Year
Award" at a banquet and dance
at the Hotel Pick-Nicollet.
Minneapolis spokesman., 1963-08-15

From their beginning the papers
have supported the religious life
and organizations of each of the
cities. At least 1000 inches of
space a year is devoted to the
communal activity Of the churches,
without charge. Most Of the lead
ing churches run small advertising
cards and some Of them run reg
ular paid publicity for special
events.
The leading congregations have
learned that the most economical
way to inform the general public
of their special and money raising
efforts is through liberal use of
space in the Spokesman and Re-
corder papers.

factory.
This attitude has cost the pap
erS revenue and made some pow
erful enemies, but It has also
gained wide respect in the Twin
Cities and the state among those
who are active in political life.
Thousands Of people keep up
with the birthdays and wedding
anniversaries of friends and even
members of their families, by con-
sulting the Birthday Greetings"
and Wedding Anniversaries" col
umn usually found on page three
of each edition. Many greeting
card shop should be grateful for
this section Of the paper.
These papers suffer from the
same malady many weekly papers
have which is the carelessness with
which many mail subscribers re-
gard their subscription payments.
Many are prompt, but some who
should know better habitually put
their subscription payment at the
bottom of the list of bills to be
paid, paying us last and often very
late.
The story is told that j. @.
Adams, the distinguished early
publisher of the st. Paul AP-
PEAL pioneer Negro paper, Of
ten had to bill the estate Of some
of his subscribers after their de-
mise.
The papers were instrumental
in setting up a group of citizens
interested in the history Of the
Negro in Minnesota. A committee
affiliated with the Minnesota His
torical Society with the aid Of the
Minnesota State Centennial Com
mission was successful in placing
on the market a book by Prof.
Earl Spangler, "The Negro in Min
nesota History" which has been
on sale since last October and Is
published by Lawrence Brings, T.
S. Dennison & Co., top Minnesota
book publishers.
The book, a fine volume for the
library traces the story Of the
Minnesota Negro from the 1S50's
before Minnesota was a state until
the 196O's. It is a handsome vol
ume and is sold at bookstores and
also by the Spokesman and Re-
corder papers.
The papers were leading force
in the employment of Negroes as

schools. AS early as 1886, the
papers were complaining editorial
ly that local Negroes who COM
pleted teachers courses had to
leave the state to secure jobs.
Often the newspapers have
served as a catalyst, arousing pub
lie opinion against injustices;
arousing the public and the COM
munity organizations to the need
of action in many areas of public
life. While the papers and their
staffs have personally participated
in many drives to get things done
and to make advances, just as
often the urging of the papers
have made and helped other in

marks in his future. So with Jo-
seph; for long years, though the
word is not written large in the
stories of him, the fact of his faith
is there. If Joseph had yielded to
the tyranny Of the obvious, he
would have stayed a slave. He
lived by what he did not see.
The ceFtainiies Of faith
Did you ever fly, as passen-
ger, in a little plane just big
enough for two? Just for a joke,
while you were fastening your
seat belt, you may have sung a
verse or two Of "Dig my grave
with a silver spade" But you
buckled that belt and up you rose
into the scary sky. Now you be-
lieved in lot of things. You be-
lieved the engine would not "conk
out" you believed the wings were
fastened with something stronger
than glue, you believed the tail
assembly would hang together,
that the direction-fn and the
altimeter and the dozen or so
other gadgets on the instrument
board were accurate, you believed
in all the radio control towers
and beacOns you overflow; but
when you come right down to it,
what you really put faith in was
not a what, it was a who. You
trusted the pilot. You (not being
a pilot, and not used to flying per-
haps) could not predict what he
would do next. If you never stud
led aerodynamics, the chances
are that you didn't even know ex-
actly how the plane stays aloft.
You certainly could not read the
inside of the pilots mind. But
you trusted him all the same.
Gcd is the pilot
You see there are lot of things
to trust in even a small airplane.
But you don't really trust the
things, but the pilot, a person.
You trust him (among other
things) to check everything about
the plane, you put your faith in
his knowledge and in his skills.
If you couldn't trust him, you
couldn't very well trust the plane.
The life of faith in God is like
that. There are many things we
have to believe in, on our flight
through this life. But essentially,
religious faith is faith in a person,
cur Father in heaven. We can't
see what He is doing, we can't
understand all He does even when
we see Him do it, we don't know
why this or that happens. There's
a great deal more that We don't
know than we do know. But we
trust Him. The great difference
between God and any airline pilot
is that even the boldest and most
skilful pilots know there are kinds
of clouds they dare not enter,
weather conditions they cannot
control. The best of them can be
grounded. But the true God is
never grounded, for no cloud is
too dark and storm-swept for Him.
