Mr. James W. Johnson,

My dear Johnson,

I suppose if I bring the charge of silence against you, you will counteract, as the Germans have been doing in the Argonne. But really, I have been simply had over heels in work, besides having a protracted fit of eye trouble. No sooner had I got them working again, with the assistance of glasses, when I had to begin work on the Anthology which is to come out early in October.

My immediate purpose in writing you now to get something from you for a magazine, the Citizen, the first number of which has just come out. The young man, who is publishing this magazine, suddenly finds himself in a rather critical position by the fact that his Editor has severed her connection with it, and not turning over the manuscripts which she had secured. It is a very promising publication, and while as it is case with all magazines that are not heavily endowed financially, it cannot afford to pay its contributors as yet, but if it succeeds it will not forget those who stood by it at the beginning.

I wish you would send me a poem, and another thing I want you to do very much indeed, that is to give me a group review of three or four books such as Birk Du Bois 'The Negro', Woodson's 'The Education of the Negro Prior to 1861', and one or two others of recent publication.

which I will send you for the purpose. I would like to have them for the
September number, also I do not think it would be a bad idea to print
two or three pages of your Autobiography, making acknowledgement, of
course, to your personal kindness and of your publisher. I will preface
the extract with a paragraph or two about the book, its quality, suc-
cess, etc. Do write me right away about this.

If you want to make any changes or corrections in the *quotation*
I wish you would do so, sending me a correct copy, so that I will be sure
to have the correct phrasing in the Anthology.

I will write you shortly.

My dear Johnson:

I have received the poem, "The Young Warrior" and shall use it in the September number of The Citizen in accordance with the conditions of your letter of the 20th instant; that is, reserving to you all rights of subsequent publications and for musical settings.

With many thanks, I am,

Yours truly,

My dear Johnson,

Thank you very much indeed for the poem. I shall use it in the September number. I am gathering the books to send you and I do hope that you will be able to get through them or enough of their contents to give me a twenty-five hundred or three thousand word review of them for the September number.

I am anxious to know what it is you are working on and hope that we will be able to get together soon and have a chat about it.

After the twelth of next month the situation here will be relieved and if you take it into your head to run over you must know that you are welcome to whatever hospitality we command. Or had you thought of coming over to the Business League Convention?

I am in somewhat of a quandary about the meeting at Chicago next month. I had a letter from the Committee this morning, which is somewhat make of a command that I must be present. They offered to pay all my expenses out and back if I will go out and deliver the address which they have assigned me. I am very much tied down here with a lot of work, besides getting a book off my hands as early in September as possible. Do you intend going out? Or if I go will you go, in which case we will travel out together which will be a great deal pleasanter for me than going alone. I will either meet you in New York and go from

there or you can come here and stay with us a few days and we will go
right from here. Of course, this is not at all settled as my mind is
not fully made up, but depends more or less on what I can accomplish with
in the next two weeks.

I think you are quite right about the spelling of "subtle" in t
the particular significance you wish to convey. The other spelling is
more an essence and it is rather a fact that you want to communicate.

I wish you would give the 'Citizen' a notice in the 'Age'
What its aims are you can readily see, laying a little stress upon the
fact that if it succeeds it will be the only periodical published by
colored in the country which will supply a market for general literature
that might be written by the race. I think this will be an inducement for
the hearty co-operation of all in every section of the country.

Emma wishes to thank your wife for her good wishes and begs me
to return hers most affectionately.

That textbook matter you must talk over more fully at the first
opportunity.

James W. Johnson, Esq.,

My dear Johnson,

Thank you for your note of the other day and for the poem, which I received and will use in the coming number. Write me a short biographical sketch of yourself for our *Contributors' Column*. Let me have it as soon as you can. I am, after your telling me that you are crowded with something which you wish to finish soon, and since I have a contribution of yours for this next number, having Kelly Miller do the review. When the pressure is released I want one from you however for a later autumn number. In the meantime, if you should see any book that you would like for this review, let me know what it is - author, title and publisher - and I will send and get it for you. I mean to follow the general method pursued by all reputable publications that review books, by making the book property of the writer of the review.

Ever Yours,

New York City, August 8th, 1915.

Mr. William Stanley Braithwaite, Publisher,
The Citizen Publishing Co.,

My dear Mr. Braithwaite:

I am sending you enclosed the short biographical
sketch you asked for. I am sending merely the bare
facts and dates covering my rather uneventful life up
to the present; you may use as much or little as you
wish.

I shall be glad to do whatever I can to make the
venture a success?

My wife joins me in best regards to you and Mrs.

My dear Stanley:

I am enclosing you a couple of letters which you will understand at a glance. As I had no written a greement with Mr. Lane for the publication of "The Young Warrior", and as I wish to reserve, as I always do, subsequent publication rights, especially the rights for musical settings, will you be good enough to accept my enclosed letter for July 20th and sign the acknowledgement, also enclosed, and return it to me. I know you are busy, so I thought I'd save you the time and annoyance of writing out the reply.

How is the book coming on? All right, I hope.

When are you coming down to New York? Same time this month, I suppose. Let me know when you are starting this way.

My dear Jim:--

I did not mention your poem in the letter I sent the other day
because I had something else to say which I did not want to postpone, and in
the saying of which I had not time to read the poem. Since then I have, and
would try to make you believe it is a very good performance. I have marked
on the margin of the manuscript which I am herewith enclosing, some suggestions
But recalling an earlier dilemma to which I put you in reading my marginal
notes, I'm typing them here. Decorating the title I've said: "Mighty, mighty
good! Send first, Yale Review, New Haven, Conn.; Century Magazine, T. R.
Smith; Poetry, A Magazine of Verse, 545 Cass Street, Chicago, Ill." "Yes, "
"down". "The "Let" would be a little too sophisticated, that is in keeping
with the text of Genesis--'I'll' has the directness and at the same time the
fullness of the imagery." "This is by far the more spontaneously poetic in
imagery--version. I think also 'Jehovah God' takes a little, by verbally
doubling the greatness of the Figure, from the immensity of it. Isn't it so
much stronger to chant 'This great God Like a mammy bending over her baby?'?"
I hope this makes the suggestions clear.

After reading this poem I meant to write you a "strong, frank" lett
today, but the number of letters yet to be written compells me to leave what I
have to say until we meet. You can suspect about what, however. Brawley's
got a new book out--where's yours? Well, prime yourself for a good mental
scrap when I go over next trip.

Saturday morning brought me another commission to do a book on
American criticism and essayists. I'm to talk over the details with the publish
er when I go over to New York. I'm rather trembling if he wants it for the
autumn; what with the history, the Anthology, and innumerable articles beside,

My dear Jim:--

I expect to be over something between this and the Sunday. I'm
not quite certain yet what day. In the meantime I am sending you a copy of a
poem Georgia Douglas Johnson sent me which I think is the best thing she has
written. It came yesterday. It ought to go into your book. Also I want to
call to your attention a book of poems just published by a man named Halloway of
Atlanta, Ga. Neale of New York published it. I've merely glanced through it
but I think he is worthy of a representation in your collection.

Hoping to see you soon,

My dear Stanley:

The Anthology will be out in a few days. I
have been so pressed for time that I have not been able to
write to you about that or anything else. Of course, I am
anxious to have you review it in the *Transcript*. I hope it
will appeal to you in such a way that you can say a good
word about it.

In looking over my permissions I do not see
that I have one from Joshua Henry Jones, Jr., I have
included his "To a Skull". I think you know where Jones
can be found. I am enclosing a letter to him asking his
permission. Would you be good enough to see that he gets
it?

I hope you are all right and that Emma and the
children are well. When do you expect to come to New York
again? Let me know.

Sorry things are not brighter, but I am sure everything will work out all right.

You can, of course, have the
extension you ask for.

Best regards.

Sincerely,

February 4, 1935

My dear Stanley:

I have your letter and I shall, of course, write
in your behalf to Mr. George R. Arthur. I am glad
that Mr. Moe has written to the Rosenwald Fund and
I hope that you may get some favorable result, but
all of the big funds are now in such a condition
that one hardly dares even to be hopeful. I think
that you yourself should write a letter to Mr. Arthur.
He, of course, knows you by reputation, if not per-
sonally. He is a very fine man and I am confident
that he will do anything that is in his power to help
you.

I have finished the book, but I am holding it back
for the fall production, and that, in spite of the
fact that it has already been advertised as a spring
book. I think a fall book is much better than a late
spring book, even in good years. I am sure it will
be in such a year as this. The postponement will,
also, give me a chance to compress the manuscript a
bit. I have glanced through it and I see spots where
I think a little concentration will improve it.

I hope that you are in good health, and I wish that
you would give my regards to Emma. Grace joins me
in best wishes to both of you.

Yours very sincerely,

August 12th 1934

Dear Jim:-

I was glad to see your old script again since it told me so much of your return to the old self. When I heard of your illness I was alarmed; like myself, you have spent and spent of energy, mental and physical, and any kind of a blow means a hard pull to repair the damages. I'm happy that that indomitable courage that has taken you through so many a campaign, has hoisted the flag of victory in this sharp, major battle for health. I wanted you to know I was watching the wavering lines of the conflict, and the cheer I sent was in the silent supplication that the enemy would be repulsed. Be watchful of the old rebel and keep him at a safe distance. We can't afford, at this time, to lose not one of the pitifully few of the 'elder statesmen,' to counsel and guide the Racial ship through the shoals of this confusing regime.

I was deeply touched by your comment on the lectures I am going forth to give this autumn. Somehow, I believe, after all these years, I have a message to give. Something has held me back in past years from attempting such a venture; at the time I wasn't clear as to what it was, now I think I know. The time now is ripe, and I go with a tested experience which gives the purpose a passion and an ideal. Jim, we have got to build a great Racial Soul, to win this conflict and controversy with America; and it is there in the womb of our hopes and needs, gestating, but not yet come to birth. I want to help that the birth comes through safely, whether as physician or nurse, doesn't matter, just so long as I hear that first triumphant cry of spiritual and cultural life-force.

I plan to be away only for six weeks or two months in the fall, because an important enterprise (of which I will tell you shortly) which has got to be well advanced by mid-winter. Therefore I am taking a rather straight line from here down as far as Tuskegee and back. I have about fifteen lectures scheduled, including addresses at Cheyney, Morgan, A & T, Virginia State, Shaw, Atlanta, Tuskegee. I had a conference with John Hope in New York three weeks ago, and He engaged me for a series of six lectures at Atlanta, and at a number of the other colleges I am giving a course of two and three. I want particularly at this time to carry my message to the Negro academic world, for it is that world I want to support the enterprise I referred to.

And that enterprise, Oh, Jim, if I can put this over to the extent I have measured for it in dreaming and brooding, and laboring to promote, I think we will have won as a Race the fulfillment of the precious heritage of this American civilization. The project is the editing of an OMNIBUS OF NEGRO LITERATURE, which will be a library of literature, and the practical summation of our achievement to the present. I want not only to edit the work but to publish and market it with the purpose of getting it into a hundred thousand Negro homes. Its going to take a pot of money to promote the project, but with it it can be done successfully. I have worked out a campaign of publicity that cannot fail to put it over. Briefly here are a few of the plans: the establishment of a Negro Book Week, during which the slave will

2

WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

for the Negro "To Buy a Book by a Negro Author," and thereby help to make the Race Book-Conscious. In connection with the Negro Book Week, there will be issued a Negro Book Week Suppliment, like the Times Book Review, which will be an informative and entertaining focussing of the Race in literary expression. This is intended for distribution as a section of the four or five leading Negro newspapers with a total circulation of over two hundred thousand copies. During Negro Book Week, I want all the Negro schools and colleges to have their English courses devoted to studies and discussions of Negro books and authors; to have programs throughout the country by social, civic and literary groups, at which prominent authors of both races will make addresses. I shall get the publishers and book trade to cooperate during that week to the advertising and displays of our authors and books. There is a purpose behind this Book Week that is most vital; if the Race can consume from fifty to a hundred thousand copies of books by Negro writers, it is going to establish the conviction among the publishers that we have become a book-buying people, and liberate the Negro writer from that handicap which exist, and leave him free to express himself.

To a number of men with whom I have talked to about this project in raising the finances to promote it, I got a most enthusiastic reaction. I think the initial financial support should be taken within the Race. Dr Johnson of Howard has promised to aid and John Hope, when he returns from Europe next month, has convinced me of his substantial support.

But the details of the whole matter are so full and varied, I would like to go over them with you. Some time before you leave Great Barrington I'd like to run up there and do this.

I am sending out in a few days, acting as secretary for the Du Bois Prize this year, a summary to the Nominating Committee of the titles and candidates for the Award this year. Out of the five books available, two it seems to me, are in indisputable leadership: Jenkins' TRUMPET IN THE NEW MOON and Brown's SOUTHERN ROAD. At present I lean towards the former as striking a different and I believe, compelling note. There is a collection of verse by a group of youngsters called "Dundo", that interests me greatly--there are names in it worth watching.

Emma wishes me to thank you and Grace for your good wishes, and joins me in sending you both our deepest regards.

Ever yours,

WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

August 23rd. 1934

Dear Jim:-

I am sending you today by parcel post copies of the three books you haven't seen, to wit: BLACK, by Gardner, DUNDO, by Cleveland Negro Youth, and DESERT SANDS, by Wilkinson.

I agree heartily with all you say about Jenkins' TRUMPET IN THE NEW MOON, and especially the comparison it invites with Paul Engle's AMERICAN SONG. Jim, that poem of Jenkins' is a sort of oriflamme for us at this time. By the attention it will attract and the controversy it will aroused, I think it will bring more distinction to the Award than any other book that might be selected. You perhaps, saw Ruth Leiner's attack on Paul Engle's AMERICAN SONG, in the Herald Tribune of a Sunday or two back. It was an off-set that deepened the impression of the book's vital importance; and the TRUMPET will be the target for some similar arrows, which will also denote its loud and persistent call to spiritual progress.

I received your good letter yesterday morning, and will write in reply more fully soon. I want to say now that I am most anxious, and will make every effort, to get up to Great Barrington to see you before you leave, as I am very eager to discuss in detail all the plans I have worked out in connection with the OMNIBUS. If they can be carried through to the exact pattern of the conception I believe the country will be thrilled and stimulated with a great event. I saw the announcement of your new book, and the title intrigued me with the suggestion that it was a race-companion piece to that essay of Matthew Arnold's that begins "Forty years ago in Oxford there were voices in the air," and also to Emerson's 1837 address on "Nature." And further I hope it carries the aspiration that Peter put into the brooding poesy of agitation of the dreams that beset Duke Carl of Rosenmold and the paper on Wincklemann. Jim, these are the starry pathways we need to tread to build that great Racial Soul upon which we are both agreed.

I expect to leave here about the twelfth of October. I am to be at the A & T, at Greensboro, N. C., on the 16th and 17th. It is a question whether I stop at Virginia State College, Shaw and Hampton, before or after I have visited Atlanta, Talladega, and Tuskegee, in late October and November.

By the way will your book be ready soon? If not, could you let me see a set of proofs, because I think I could work an introduction of its message into two themes I'm presenting: the Negro's Place in Literature and Leadership and Letters.

Ever with the best,

WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

September 6th 1934

Dear Jim:-

The galley-proofs of "Negro Americans, What Now?" came by special delivery Saturday afternoon, and I finished reading them last evening. Your note from Stonecrop asking for my opinion of the book, arrived on the last post yesterday; so I had a good start on my acquaintance with the contents. In any event I was going to write you about it.

You have done an admirable job on this book; produced a compact, logical, assemblage of the factors which make the Race what it is and what it must be to win the position and the freedom that it should possess to be an equal and interwoven citizenship in the fabric of American life. You have sketched in an historical loom with a deft literary craftsmanship, upon which to weave the design of an ideal program for the acquisition of those privileges and rights which are still lacking or denied the Negro. It is in this program which I seem to feel a bit disturbed about. Not that you are not right -- absolutely, you are. It is the infusion of a pointed conviction, which I know all along you hold, but about which there seemed a hesitancy in your pen to being to a crisis in the experience of the Race at this stage of its development. I can read with a clear understanding what you mean, and so will the more highly mental awareness of the white world understand. This book seems to me, to be essentially addressed to the Negro himself, he it is who needs to grasp fully the implications embodied in your program: to grasp them, and apply their precepts in both his racial and inter-racial experience. The Negro has stumbled blindly along his path of progress; it is marvelous that he has advanced as far as he has; and discount it has much as we might, it has been due to the good will and sympathy of white America that he has moved forward at all. That sympathy and good will has been based upon sentiment, and more often than not, bordering upon sentimentality. We have had enough of this, and want no more, for it is time that we dissipate the notion that we are wards or semi-wards of national opinion. The Constitution does not designate our status as such; it is not a question whether we enjoy fully the rights and privileges guaranteed us by that instrument; the fact is, that it recognizes us as an integral part of the American set-up -- political, social, economic --founded in 1776. It is largely public opinion, motivated by prejudice, intolerance, and fear, fear of rivalry, competition, which halts and delays the full bestowal of the benefits enjoyed by other Americans who do not suffer by the handicap of a physical difference. We have arrived at a time when we have got to drive a hard realism against the illusions of sentiment. And that is our job and not the job of white America. That is your gospel in this admirable little book. But while you are positive about the framework of this new social order for the Race, you are negative in the implied substance which is to fill that framework. When I say negative, I do not mean, that you are not aware of its vital importance, nor that you do not state it; you

2

WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE

do. You state it convincingly when, in the tag to that report of
your conversation with a New York publisher, you declare that out
of 12 millions Negroes there are not one thousand that will buy a
good book by a Negro author. In confessing that devastating fact,
you held the instrument ready to perform the surgical operation
that the Race needs to give a healthy outlook on the future. You
come near *to* performing it on the section on "Stereotypes, Art and
Money." For, you see, how admirably you have developed your purpose
in this book, since by a logical unfolding of concurrent faults and
virtues, you arrive at the conclusion on a note which is the solu-
tion of the whole matter. But you don't make it literal enough.
That personal credo with which you end the book is, like the plume
of Henry of Navarre, the oriflamme of racial aspiration.

Now, all through the book as a gospel for today and the
promise of the future, you have told the Race what it needs and what
it lacks. The credit side of the ledger takes care of itself; but
that has not given us the things we want and are entitled to; and
they are mostly, as you have said, certain practical and material
things; but looking at these, and such benefits as they have be-
stowed, they are temporary and ephemeral. You ask the Race to
look inward and exercise that inviolable possession and power of
SPIRIT. Here is a bastion nothing can assault. Then what is
needed, which all along in the book you have played on without bring-
ing to a crashing finale, is INTELLIGENCE. The Race collectively
is not intelligent: or, else, instead of being incapable of support-
ing a good book to the number of one thousand copies, you and your
publisher would be certain that this very book "Negro Americans,
What Now?", would have twenty-five thousands Negroes ready to buy it.
Now, next to a lack of intelligence, the Race lacks a sense of
VALUES; and this is interwoven with an operative intelligence. We
might as well come to a recognition of these facts now; your book
*in a way* is a recognition of them. But you take too subtle a method
in using that personal note to impose the recognition. Keep that
note, for it illustrates in your individual case what the Race might
be, if as a whole it was as intelligent, and had as fine a sense of
values, as you are, and have as an individual. But proceeding it I
would interpolate in the "Conclusion," a few paragraphs on these
processes, in a highly concentrated expression. Good Lord, Jim, it
is all there, but it needs a more realistic urge, even if the
realistic concept demands a lyrical exposition to be made effective.

I have jotted down these comments hurriedly to dispatch
you because I wanted you to know what my reaction was. In this
book you have laid the cornerstone of the new structure of racial
consciousness. It is the blue-print of a new freedom, by which
you become the architect of the Racial spirit, that is bound in
conformity with its plans to rear from foundation to tower, a
structure, standing beautiful and imposing *among its* Fellows in the
golden city of our American democracy.

We have got to find that twenty-five thousand Negroes
intelligent enough to buy and read it, and it is to create this
intelligence and that high sense of values I mentioned, that I am
struggling to bring my *OMNIBUS* to the harvest I have dreamed for it.

Ever,
