The Negro World

U.N.I.A.Making Great Preparations For Sixth International Convention Expectant of Great Results FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: We are now drawing nearer to our long expected Convention period. The whole world of Negroes are naturally turning their eyes and minds toward the great event in Jamaica, B. W. I. an event that will long live in our lives, because it will be filled with interesting consequences, as affecting us as a people. We want to write a new history through our activities at this Convention. It is well, therefore, that we prepare to so acquit ourselves, as to leave no blot on our transactions. A Critical Point World survey will reveal that, as a race, we are at a critical point of our existence. In America, the growth of unemployment among our people is most alarming-not more so, however, than we should have expected as we prophesied years and years ago, that in the United States returning to her normal economic position, it would be the determination of the great industrialists along with the politicians of the country to so throw off the Negro in labour as to contribute to his slow but gradual elimination from the Body Politic. We not so very long ago prophesied that even in Chicago the politicians and economists would make new efforts to re-organize the labor forces in this great city so as to make it impossible for the Negro to again elect a Congressman as was done in the recent election. The white American is determined to make America a white man's country, and while the fifteen millions of Negroes in America are sleeping on their future, the white man is ever on the alert to arrange and re-arrange conditions to lead to the one objective, to eliminate the Negro in the national life of the country. What is true of the Negro in America, is true World Survey Reveals A Critical Point In Existence Of Race- Manhood Qualities Must Come. To the Fore-Race Must Begin at Once to Build Its Own Economic and Political Future Negroes From Everywhere Will Center Their Attention Upon Jamaica, B. W. I., During the Next Five Months-To Be Central Point in Negro Minds During Convention Get in Line, Warns President-General; for Freedom From Oppression, and the Redemption of Africa of him in other parts of the world where there is a special effort being made to reduce him to his hereditary position as peon, serf and slave. It is, therefore, for us to be on guard and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been so useful. In its many years of advocacy, the Association has helped many Negroes to a real solid economic foundation for themselves instead of relying upon the white man. But the few who have become independent will not save the race, hence it is necessary that a general wholesale effort be made to save the situation. It is such an effort that is to be made out of the Sixth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world to be held at Kingston, Jamaica, B. W. I., from the first to the thirty-first of August. A Colossal Program With such a colossal program it suggests how necessary it is for each and every community where Negroes live in the world, to send delegates to attend this, our forthcoming Convention; so that all of us may get together, and by proper discussion and legislation bring about a better state of affairs. There will be no excuse for any substantial group of the race not to be represented; and so we shall look forward to the holding of the great conclave, the result of which will mean much to the future of the race. Be Financial Again, we want to remind all divisions, chapters, branches and members of the Universal Improvement Association that it is imperatively necessary that each and every one of them become financial with the Parent Body. The annual assessment tax is still to be paid by a large number of members. No division will be regarded as financial to any official standing at the Convention that is not in good financial standing with the Parent Body at least six months prior to the Convention. It is, therefore, the duty of all of us to do our best so that the coming Convention will be a great success. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your Obedient Servant, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Assn. "Edelweis Park," St. Andrew, Jamaica, B. W. I., April 15, 1929.

In spite of the most indictment weather, there were to be seet the faithful and eager members when the Sunday was meeting held under the auspices of the Carvey Club was called to order. Mr. Rufus Pettit, our Vice-President, occupied the chair, while other officers assisted in making the evening's program a success. A delightful musical program was rendered by the Universal Chair and Band. Solos were rendered by Mrs. Holder and Mrs. Luh Jenkins of the Chair. The message of the Flon, Margus Garvey was read by Colonel James Belley, with great emphasis, to which the audience applauded heartily, thus showing how happy they are always to hear the words of inspiration and counsel from their leader. A presentation of twelve dollars was made to the Garvey Club by Mrs. M. Duine as coming from the recital, that was given by the members of the choir. Our Lady Vice President, Mrs. L. McGarry, responded by thinking the chair members, for their gift and cooperation in helping them to get ready for the Sixth International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. The speech making followed. Miss E. Collins' Address The greatest of all questions at this time is, the future security of our children's children; the question, is whether this race, of course, which God created in His own image, shall "live or die." This question is confronting you and every other member of the race at that time. Most of us are giving this little or no thought, but the time is coming when through the acts of oppressors of manage will regret if we do not seek to have our affairs readjusted as other races do, and to themselves on the basis of materialism which is a part of the physical existence which you live, in which is obtained your very bread and butter. The spirit that directed the Hon. Marcus Garvey to start this great movement, is now among the masses. We shall gather new, additional from his works, for a redemption of his The mind and thoughts of the great muses, have been directed toward freedom from oppression; toward the land of freedom Africa, our Motherland. We have now realized and concluded that Africa is the only redemption of the black race. Now is the time to stand together like one man in the support of this great organization. It must not fail. It is our only hope hope. The goals and policies of millions of our ancestors are now being realized, we may live, are calling us to be true. Uplify the pressing need of the moment for the grafted sons and daughters of Africa throughout the world. We are all one people. It makes no difference whether we are light, brown, red or black are all sons and daughters of one stock. The same condition of industrial limitation and economic oppression that affects one, also affects the other so why fight among ourselves. Our interests are all bound up in the one solution, therefore we must come together. We must unite upon the proposition of African redemption and stand behind the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as our leader. Mr. James Smith Speaks Ever since man began to multiply their- greed for lands and gold has also multiplied with them. We find them fighting against each other and robbing the weaker races of their possessions and heritage. We of the black race have found this to be a fact, for today we find that our motherland Africa has been mapped out by white aliens and dominated by them. The time has come for each and every one of us to awake to this grave situation that confronts the Negro the world over. "We are looking forward to the time when black men shall represent us and dictate our policy; thus broadcasting it over the wide world that African shall no more be exploited by alien people. The colors of the Red, Black and Green must be respected by other nations of the world. It is the awakened Negro that has enabled the leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to speak today as he does in the defense of his race. He is not speaking from emotion; he is burdened with the heap of apes heaped upon him that mauses him speak as he dogs. He is calling for men who can stand before denugogues. He is calling for men who fear no foe. Men who are cautious of their souls. Young men, Garvey wants you to discover yourself and tell him what you have observed. Our leader is appealing to every member to report to him the knowledge you have inculcated from the teachings of the U. N. It Association all these years. Just as a child of 4 years grows out of his wearing apparel, just so has the awakened Negro outgrown the small leadership of 1919 and 1926 of those that have been round about us. Garvey is calling for leadership and you are legal candidates, without nomination to report, to our President-General, your ability. Officers, members and friends of the Garvey Club we are, assembled here tonight to help to inspire and encourage each other in the struggle for existence. As we look around us from day to day to day there are evidences enough to convince black men that they are not needed in the social, political, commercial activities of the white race. They fail to realize that our race was brought here against us and forced to labor for them in building their country, by manual labor. Today we are jim-crowded, segregated, evenlynched and binned in return for the years of labor. is justice dead? is justice sleeping? Truth shall yet have a hearing in Mrs. I. McArney It is a pleasure ladged to be found in Liberty Hall square our members have been coming along by the heavy rain tonight. Our presence advocates the determination within our breast that we shall put over the program of an Africa redeemed. If our hearts are right within us, we can do much to perpetuate this wonderful-work as members of the black race. We are indeed much inspired by the wonderful message of the president General which has been read to us tonight. To us he is a super-man. The world can boast of their Baldwin and Lloyd Georger of their Mussolini. We of the black race are proud of our leader Marcus Garvey, the greatest organizing genius of the age. Let us, as loyal and true members, stick to the teachings and aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We as a people must make up in our mifids to carve out our destiny, and shape the future for generations to come. Other races and nations have succeeded in lifting themselves to fame, and we the black peoples can do likewise. Let unity be our watchword and mountains and hills shall move at our command.

The fact that his family is the only one of African descent here has worked many hardships on Leonard Bryant and his family. Although Bryant is forced to pay taxes, just as the whites, the Jimcow law and prejudice prohibit his children from attending the public schools. Last year some of the white teachers agreed to teach the Bryant children in the evening providing the county would pay for the tutelage but the county refused to do so; therefore, Bryant will either have to let his children grow up, illiterate or send them to another town for their education.

Presented to Trustees HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., April 28. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, before 500 alumni, the students and workers, and the special Hampton party of 123 guests, delivered a stirring address at the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute, in which he interpreted the contribution to the nation of the institution and the obligation of America to show that the dark races shall have equality of opportunity and freedom from exploitation. "We owe it to that black, yellow and brown population of humanity," declared Dr. Johnson, "whose hostages we are in this land, to show the way. For they are looking at this country today with-wistful eyes. Everything here attempted, they know belongs by kinship to them. They are hoping that this will not be the last in a series of the great successions of imperialists that have trampled black civilizations, but the first in a new series which will look upon this opportunity in America as its God-given calling to set free the human race. The presence of these 10,000,000 black factions is a thermometer set on the porch of the American people that the world can see every morning." "Our country," he continued, "does not need to say to the world anything about its attitude toward the darker people... the world can see what we intend! If this thermometer goes up and goes down the heart of a people will sink and rise and men will forge their plough shares into swords and seek into the earth for appliances of war, not yet known to man, but if this thermometer rises and continues to go up, until the dark human beings have equality of opportunity in this country, there will come such an affectionate outpouring of the hopes of the human race towards this country as has never blessed a nation since the foundation of the world. "I believe that God has placed us here to steer our country towards such a destination. We owe it to the Father, to make ourselves ready, not surrendering to expressions of self pity, waiting as best we can, for the nationan heart must listen, or it must die." Dr. Francis G. Peabody, whose retirement from the Hampton Board of Trustees, after thirty-nine years of service, was announced by Dr. Gregg presented the graduating classes to the Board of Trustees. Addressing the candidates for degrees and diplomas, Dr. Peabody said: "The permanent principles which Hampton has announced may be summed up in two definite aims. The first is that of educational democracy. The rapid and encouraging advance which keeps pace with the advancing opportunities and obligations of Negro citizenship, carried with it the risk of forgetting the principle of educational democracy and of tempting students, yes and teachers too, to better education so that boys is college may book industrial students, and boys in the shops or on farms may feel themselves inferior. That would be a break with the whole tradition of Hampton. We know nothing at Hampton of higher or lower education. Education is the drawing out from within the student of the character and efficiency hidden within him. Whatever does that is higher education. The moral dignity of labor, the equal rights of the head; hand and the heart—these are what steady and strengthen our graduates whether they plow, teach, build or preach. "The second principle," declared Dr. Peabody, "is that of interracial fellowship. The problem of American civilization is the problem of having two races live and work together in genuine and constructive fellowship. Fellowship means not segregation, but co-operation. Our most critical task is that of interracial femininity. Our supreme responsibility is the state of hasty or unconsidered thoughts and which might shatter the fundamental principle of interracial co-operation. Fifty-six candidates for degrees in the school of business, agriculture, library science, home economics, and education were presented to the trustees. Thirty-five candidates for diplomas in two-year collegiate courses and ninety-eight in the secondary school, including thirty-six from the trade-school were introduced by Dr. Peabody. The honor students, chosen largely with regard to scholarship, who will participate in the commencement program in May, were announced by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, as follows: From the secondary schools, Lycurt Lee, of Coorpeate, M. C., from the two-year collegiate course, Lily Jackson, of Warrenton, Va.; from the college, Joseph G. Statcher, Jr., of Concordville, Va. The Lycurtia Black prize which awarded to Miles Preston Y.

Nansemond-County Va., Featured in Program HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. April 26.—A feature of the program of the sixty-first anniversary of Hampton Institute was the presentation of the work of Hampton graduates in the development of Nansendon County, Va. along the lines of health, education, business and agriculture. The early beginnings and constructive work of the county training school was described by Mr. H. E. Howell, principal. Teachers and farmers institutes, co-operation in health and community beautification were he stated, a part of the school program. Mrs. Obediah Walden, teacher of home, economics in the training school, demonstrated with two of her students, Gladys Holland and Corjine Smith, the preparation of the job school lunch. Mrs. Ben Davis a graduate of the Dixie training program for the progress of the county-wide program in health which has slowly been gaining the support of the State and county health authorities. Tuberculosis clinics, midwife instruction, health education and the five-point child campaign were described as having brought about a surprising range in health and health attitudes throughout the county. Mr. Howard Reid, local farm demonstration agent, brought two of his 4H Club girls with him, who showed methods used in club meetings in instructing members in better methods of farming. How to set a broody hen was shown in an assured, finished manner by the club girls. Mr. Reid, declared Mr. J. B. Pierce, agent of the United States. Department of Agriculture, in charge of demonstration work in the development of the 4H clubs. Mr. Ben Davis, proprietor of the Davis Bus Lines, told of the service rendered the county through better transportation. The program was closed by Mr. W. H. Crocker, of Suffolk, whose activities in civic affairs has been of unusual value to the development of Negro interests in Nansen County. One of the most beloved hymns in our language, one that has brought balm to millions of troubled spirits, is "Lead Kindly Light." It was written in 1855 by John Henry Newman, at that time a minister in the church of England, and later, a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. The hymn was composed during a fearful storm, while the vessel on which Newman was a passenger, was rocking to and fro in the Strait of Bignificio between Corsica and Sardinia. It has been suggested, however, that it was very probably the storm in the breast of the young clergyman rather than the one out side that was responsible for the writing of the words. for it was just at this time the well-known "Six X Ford" Movement in England, the terrible struggle between High Church and Low Church, was raging at its height. In his sea, of troubles the thirty-two-year-old minister's prayer was: "Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead Thuc me on; the way is dark, and I am far from home, lead Thuc me on"—Mrs. Susie Robinson. Writes Book on American Negro Ell Busable Nyombolo, president, Native African Union of America, Inc., located at 200 West 135th street, New York City, who recently returned from a successful business trip through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. While in Florida Mr. Nyombolo was the guest of the African Universal Church and Commercial League of, which Elder C. C. Addison and Madam M. L. Glymp are at the head. "Intalo Yaba Nisundu E Amelika" (Life Among Colored People in America), is purported to be a book dealing with the various phases of life of colored people in America and which Mr. Nyombolo expects to complete by the end of this year. Owing to the awakened interest to things Afro-American, and the absence of a production of this kind, written in a Bantu (Kokori) language, the book is expected to be like several books in the Bantu speaking genre in Africa.

WARNING: In O- Congressman George Nelson the House of Massachusetts has written a letter to President Herbert Hoover urging him to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the United States as well as the much-talked-of- Eighteenth Amendment. The Massachusetts Congressman has been battling for the rights of Negro citizens for several years, and his latest effort has caused much discussion here. After congratulating the President upon his expressed determination to "enforce the laws," Mr. Tinkham declared: "I expectly to draw your attention to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution. The former makes. Negroes citizens of the United States and provides that the basis of representation shall be reduced in proportion to existing disfranchisement in any State, and the latter, amendment prohibits any.State from giving preference in the matter of suffrage to one citizen of Negro origin or previous condition of servitude, and the duty of enforcing these amendments with the Congress and the President. "No laws have been passed to enforce these amendments. They are now wholly and greatly nullified in many States. Negroes are counted in the population for purposes of representation in the Lower House of Congress and then disfranchised, giving those States disproportionate representation of the Union and thereby making elections to the House of Representatives and of a President illegal and unconstitutional." Comparing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments with the Eighteenth, Congressman Tinkham pointed out that each one was a war time measure or the result of wars, and told the President: "If you are to obey your oath of office and to the best of your ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, you must either recommend to the Congress the passage of laws to enforce these amendments or refer the enforcement of them to your national investigating committee."

And I thought I had on a beautiful black beaded dress and gummetal hose, black satin slippers "within rhinestone buckles. "In singing the song I acted it through by looking at the Red Cross nurses who were there. After I had finished President Coolidge and the nurses gave me so much applause that when I woke up I could still hear them. "It was Thursday night that I had this dream, and ever since then I always keep that song on my mind the chorus anyway. Sincerely-Mrs. Sidney A. Forbes Cleveland, Ohio." Mrs. Sidney A.

Pettit, gave a brief address on the leadership of Hen. Marcus Garvey. He is our guiding star and we the members must keep our eyes steadfast on him and reach our goal," said the speaker. One of our members in the person of Mr. Waith presented to us the picture of the King and Queen of Abyssinia in their coronation robes of state, thus showing to the black race the splendor and glory of an unthreatened black people. The National Anthem brought our meeting to a close. One God, one Aim, One Dearty. Cincinnati, Ohio Thursday night, April 18th, the Negro populace of Cincinnati turned out on maze to witness one of the largest Racial Meetings ever staged by the Cincinnati Division at Liberty Hall, and to which many prominent Negro Business Executives of the City had been invited by Sir William Ware to participate on the program. Ware was the first person in usual in order to give each speaker as much time as possible. A brief preliminary speech by the President, Sir William Ware, and two selections by the choir suffused to make up the program preceding the addresses of the evening by our distinguished visitors. Hon. Richard H. Bachler, Representative of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and also great defender of the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the first speaker. His subject for the evening was, "The Eyes of the Negro Are Being Opened and He has Begun to See His Nakedness." Mr. Bachler treated this subject admirably to the satisfaction of all present. His usual forceful logic and brilliant eloquence was in display throughout the address and at the close of which he was accorded warm anouncement by the affective audience. Hon. M. C. Clarke, President of the Imperial Finance Corporation, one of Cincinnati's many progressive Negro businesses, was next presented. Mr. Clarke before quoting his subject stated that sufficient tribute could not be paid Mr. Ware for having made the Universal Negro Improvement Association in these parts, an organization of note, and respectfully feared by its most bitter enemies. His most timely subject was, "Intro-Racial and Intro-Economics." In part Mr. Clarke stated that the Negro is an economical slave, and he will not be free until he adopts the method and way to freedom as taught by the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Association. He also emphasized the importance of offering more business men as we would have a grave problem on hand if we would become top-heavy with professional men. He gave credit to the Hon. Marcus Garvey for bringing into existence the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which has been a fountain of inspiration to all legitimate Negro businesses. Dr. Quinny A. Gladden, young fearless Negro physician, of Cincinnati was the next speaker. He chose for his subject, "Race Industry, Race Consciousness, and Race Pride Compared with Segregation." Dr. Gladden urged the Negro to get together, roll up his sleeves and create industries of his own. Hon. William C. Hicks, Bank Executive and Organizer was the next speaker. Mr. Hicks drove home some very savory points. If we could organize our hypocritical leaders, says Mr. Hicks, and if the Negroes of the world would organize their finance under the motto "Universal Negro groupism" Association the very success of itself could not impede the success of the Negro race. Mr. Hicks upon arriving in Cincinnati immediately connected himself with the Organization, and he is now completing final plans for, the establishing of A Negro State bank in Cincinnati, whereby boys and girls of the race can be given employment. Attorney George W. B. Conrad was next presented. Mr. Conrad is our prospective candidate for the City Council next fall. He stated in part that his motive for wanting to become a member of the City Council was the same as that of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to regular service in his race. He states faintly and nobly that he does not wear the collar of any political party, and that he owes no allegiance to anyone but his race. During the course of his growth, he exhibited on the wonderful opportunities which were presented themselves through the instrur- museum of the Episcopal Negro Immigration Association. Mr. Toddhew M. Barry, principal speaker of the ovation, was present. He shakes his theme, "Difficult- ness." Mr. Barry stated that the time had come for the Negro to paddle his own canoe. At present, Mr. Barry, a very young man, is studying law at the Law Department at the University of Cincinnati, and is also connected with the African American community the Brotherhood, National Bank, which is a white institution. He is a splendid model for the youth of the race to pattern after. The activities of the Cincinnati division since its origin under the leadership of its worthy President, Sir William Ware, has attracted the serious attention of the public in this section, and has done much toward the advancement of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our efforts have borne fruit in many directions despite the dark cloud of misunderstanding which has been hanging over our organization for months, and which is speedily clearing away. This bespeaks a greater and more effective organization for the future. Montreal, Canada Sunday, April 21. --- The regular meeting was held at Liberty Hall, 618 Chatham St., at 3:30 P. M., with President Potter presiding. 'The spiritual 'part of the meeting commenced with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed with prayer from the Ritual; Scripture lesson was read by the president, and duly commented upon; other hymns were sung and prayer brought this to a close. Mass meetings followed with the reading of front page of The Negro World, by Mr. Gilpin and commented upon, and a-guitar solo, by Mrs. Folkes following. At this juncture the president introduced Mr. Z. Chambers as the speaker of the evening. In reaching the rostrum the speaker said he had a surprise for the members and produced copies of the "Blackman," the first to receive same here. The audience went wild with enthusiasm. He then read Hon. Marcus Garvey's message in Saturday's issue April 6, while the audience listened with rapt attention. After which for half an hour he delivered an interesting and scholarly, but timely address; during which he pointed out clearly to the young women of the community; the important fact, that most of them should seize the opportunity now, and take up a business course, for in a short while they will be needed to fill positions, and the most competent will be accepted, etc.; as the coming of the Blackman clearly shows. In closing his address Mr. Chambers received voiciferous applause. The chairman gave an address and his topic, "Uttity", which was masterly handled and explained.

On Sunday, April 16, 1930, all usual the Buffalo Bank of the world's greatest set movements among Negroes are assembled, and the same spirit as to old was manifested. On the platform seated were Mr. Charles Ferry, president; Mr. Howard, vice-president; and Mrs. Dixon, chaplain. The meeting was opened in the usual way with the chaplain officiating. The program for the evening was conducted by the reporter. Almost all those who took part were volunteers, people, who have talent and do not hide them under "bushels" as of yore, but are ever ready and willing to let the world know just what they can do. Mr. Charles Ferry, the president, made an earnest appeal to outsiders, and backsliders to again enter the ranks and help to improve conditions among Negroes. The Misses Anderson and Pigues were the next to show their best talents. They contributed a duet, which was greatly appreciated. Mr. King, a very young man, moved the audience with great approval of his fine oration. This is the young man's second time on our platform, and we all wish him every success. More power and speed to you Mr. King. The A. L. Band was also with us, and more appreciation, was shown them for their wonderful selections; and improvements from time to time. It was only on the 18th of April that they held a concert at a local church, which also added more laurels to their crown. Mr. Evans, a new musician in the city, is also proud of the band. To show his appreciation, he played a trhonebone solo, with the touch of a master musician. We enjoyed his presence among us. Miss Austin was also with us today, and, as usual, took a part in the way which she knows how. A very beautiful solo was rendered by Miss Pigress. We do not know if it is on account of Miss Austin's size, but, in general, it is always with her. We welcome you to Liberty Hall always. Miss Austin. On Saturday evening the lady presided gave a party for the juveniles. Quite a large l, ber attended, and after a feast of ice cream, cakes and sandwiches they all went home happy. Sister Dixon gave us an honest-to-goodness spiritual talk. She said that she knew her business about religion and her relationship with Africa and her black brethren. So don't be fooled, Marcus Garvey is on the right line. She kept the audience in france of her new new among us, she is a real live wire.

C. A. Wednesday evening, April 10 under the auspices of the Denver division 1,000. He was greeted enthusiastically by a patient and friendly audience. In the trend of his speech he cautioned the Negro against poor leadership and the pitfalls in politics of the different smoke screens the white man adopted to lead us away from our motherland, Africa; also the barbed-wire entanglements that kept the Negro from organizing for the uplift and betterment of all Negroes; no matter where domiciled. He cited the wonderful work that our dear leader had accomplished during his-European tour; and what a splendid program was mapped out for the settling of our International Convention to be held at Jamaica, B.

"What the Negro Thinks" is the title of a new book by Robert Russa Moton, of Tuskegee, Ala., which has been published by Doubleday-Doran Whatever the influence of all who knew him well. When he met yet in youth he would be always agreed, his community in a very helpful way, witness the influence of all who knew him well. When he was yet in youth Mr. Garvey thought to travel to London for what purpose he did not know. But the speaker said this was God's way of qualifying Garvey for the leadership of the world. He told Mr. Garvey went into a newspaper plant in London, England, and started Duce Muhammett, of Egypt, secured position with manager as an editor, and in a very short, while he became the boss of the plant even as he was the boss of the world today. It was while Mr. Garvey was employed in this place that he was fully qualified and from this qualification the leadership of 400,000,000 Negroes fell upon Garvey and the plan of our salvation was given in the hands of Marcus Garvey. Therefore the speaker continued, saying the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is unequalled in the world of the people given more light to the world than any man since Jesus Christ. Garvey and his followers are the only people of today who are successfully carrying out the orders · our Saviour. We are going into all the world preaching the Gospel to every creature · Teaching all the nations God's command. This and many other things the speaker brought to our minds. After the collection was over the Rev. Andrews told us of the necessity of supporting the Negro World; and we raised a small donation for the Negro World.

BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION OF THE WORLD MARCUS GARVEY President-General KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. I. HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS Assistant President-General Common Sense and The Bible Last week I gave a brief outline of Religion, and at this writing I shall try to cover this subject, "Commensanes and the Bible," in as few words as possible. The Bible, the book of books, read by most people, but understood by few, has a pleasing message for you. Some people do not care to learn its hidden truths, and to such, the Bible is a closed book. Now, let us see what the Bible is: "The Bible is the history (sacred to some and profane to others) of men who discovered, studied, and recorded, what is religion." Those men prepared and left for you a wealth of priceless information on anything man can think of; whether its aviation, psychology, fine arts, science, law, health, advertising, architecture, education, commerce, graft, greed, slavery, crime and etc. You have everything to gain when you understand the true interpretations of the several important passages of the scriptures concerning the Negro; yesterday, today and tomorrow. While it is very easy for you to learn the truth about yourself in the Bible; you will have to put your commonsense into play. When I say commonsense, I mean just that; and I should like, you to take me at my word. I shall try to define "Commonsense" and I want you to get it right. COMMONSENSE IS Commonsense is sense which is not common. Observation, judgment, tact, patience, broadmindedness, willpower and originality are essential factors, if you are to demonstrate a good supply, of this sense, which is not common. We shall use a little commonsense as we turn to the great book and its message. We must get at the truth: Words are either alive, dying, dead, or resurrected. Furthermore, the derivation of the meaning of a word should be considered, especially, when you are reading the Bible. The words fear, quick, hath, Ham, spirit, ghost, word, replenish, et cetera, have to be treated like people, when you want to get at the true old and new meanings of these overworked groups. For instance, the word "quick," in ancient times meant "a living thing (alive)," as in "the quick and the dead." Today we use "quick" to denote action—speed. I have been asked, whether or not, the Bible contradicts itself. To my mind, te judic, I should say, chacun a son gout. I must admit, however; that the first five chapters of Genesis seem to have been written by three different writers. You can detect the duplicity in Genesis—aparters—five and five. The writers of the books in the Bible seem to have recorded their findings in contradiction to each other. It stands to reason that every one who reads this article, will not be able to re-write its substance in the same style and theme. No doubt, you know that no two things are alike, psychologically, philosophically, aptly, itually and otherwise. And, the writers in question were no exceptions to the law of God. To read your Bible to learn how to scold your family, neighbors and friends, or to know how to die and, to make others miserable, is contrary to the "law and the prophets." The time has come that every Negro must stop reading the Bible upside down. The book does not make worms out of its white readers, not its teachings were aimed at the Negro race. Negroes for centuries dominated the world! Negro superhuman deeds are recorded in almost every book of the old Testament. Arise you sleepy warrior, and know, that you are your own enemy! When you read about Moses, let his achievements inspire you to start something. When you remember Aaron, think of the willingness of stars to divulge their secrets to you, as they did to your black brother. As you read the history of Nimrod, allow your thoughts to go forth with love, to your colored empire builders. And, reading Job, learn that all peoples have, like individuals, had to go through the tests of growth. David has been dead centuries ago. We think kindly of him, because he did something worthwhile. You may read about David and all the great men and women as mentioned in the scriptures; but unless you allow yourself to be an exact miniature of God; until you feel sure that every Bible character had no more "pull" with God than you; and that the same life force existed in their day and age, is evident in you—you are not saving your soul alive. Why must St. Paul's oratorical powers interest you, if you cannot receive some benefit through saving yourself and others from a life of shame? Being proud to mention, Simon the crossbearer, was a Negro, does not add one iota to the Negro status. To believe that Moses, Aaron, the pharohs, Ham, Cannan, Cush, Nimrod, Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, Christ, and others were Negroes will help some people, but to the honest minded Negro, the very thought of the preceding immortals and their works, when compared with Negroes of today, calls for commensense, Negro men and women; doers, not dreamers; fighters, not slackers; dauntless, not cowards.

No. 584, held on Sunday, April 14, 1829, was called to order by the President, Mr. A. A. Lewis, at 3:30 P. M. All officers were present. Opening song, "From Greenland's Tey Mountains," was led by the Chaplain, Brother W.-M. Homes. Prayer was read by the Lady President, Mrs. Bessie Watkins, followed by Scripture reading by President A. A. Lewis. W. R. Watking, our advocate, read the front page of The Negro World; the president being so Our esteemed contemporary, the Sierra Leone Guardian, has done good service in drawing attention to the proposed demolition of the arts course at Fourrah Bay College by the principal; the Rev. J. L. C. Horstead, M.A. Fourrah Bay College in the educational annals of West Africa stands very high in the estimation of the people. It is well-known that men like the late Bishop Crowther, Bishop Johnson, Rev. Quaker and other illustrious names in British West. African history received their education at the college, and helped to bring the African prominently to the notice of the international world as competent to take his place in the highest culture attainable by any people. The arts course has been one of the strongest points of Fourrah Bay College since the days of Bishop Crowther and others, and one is particularly struck with the high cultural tone of Sierra Leone as noticed at the present day. Fourah Bay College has served West Africa well in that, since its affiliation with Durham, it has enabled many a student to take his arts degree on the spot and to branch off to different technical and professional work. All this has been possible because Fourah Bay College devoted particular attention to the preparation of its students in the arts course. To propose, therefore, at this time of day to do away with the arts course must naturally raise a storm of opposition and, what is worse, lead to a suspicion as to the real cause of the suggestion. It is the fimsiest of pretexts to suggest that there are no men available to teach in the arts course, when it is well known that there are many graduates turned out by the college itself who are competent and available for the work in hand. Here in the Gold Coast it has been drilled into us that if only Achimota, could produce its own graduates, trained after its own manner, the teaching problem would be solved. Surely it would be the saddest reflection upon the work of the great pioneers in the history of Fourah Bay College to suggest that its own graduates are incompetent to carry on the work of their predecessors. Many of the most eminent scholars have now and again criticized with merciless logic the educational ideals of men like Dr. Jesse Jones for the African. They point to the fact that from the nature of the criticism of Dr. Jesse Jones, and those who are of his way of thinking, the idea is to provide for the African a type of education which would fit him well in the economic relations between him and the European. It reminds one of the African graduate in an American home, recently referred to in the press, who, notwithstanding his attainments, was considered in his proper place as a menial servant. That exactly illustrates what may be at the back of the minds of some Europeans who are gone on the matter of African education. Of course, it is not the African's intention to remain forever a hewer of wood and drawer of, water for the European; and once that is clearly understood by all concerned, the task of both educators and their proteges will be considerably easier. If, on the other hand, in this matter of the education of the African, the idea should grow and prevail in the African mind that it is designed to force a course of training upon him which would chain him forever to the economic wheel of the European, then will open up a struggle which must eventually end in the triumph of the African for the simple reason that no foreign nation has ever yet succeeded, in the history of the world, to retard the intellectual progress of the people when once it has gained a certain momentum. In the history of Africa such a momentum has been gained by reason of the keen race-consciousness that prevails amongst the African people wherever they dwell. They realize that their salvation lies in education, in its broadest and widest sense. They have tasted of the liberalizing effects of wide culture. They have seen in actual life the potency of their men of culture in world affairs. They have known of the power that knowledge confers, and they are not willing to let go. Therefore it is a serious thing to disregard the trend of this race consciousness and to seek to impose limitations. For the foregoing reasons, and much more that may be advanced, we think it highly impolite for Principal Horstead at this time of day to have aroused the suspicion of Africans as to the trend of European ideals for the African in matters educational; and we trust, he will see his way to review his decision.--The Gold Coast Leader.

HASSELL'S BAND Come early and sopre your seat Subscription. 35 Cents BY RUBY BERKLEY GOODWIN (Exclusively for the Illustrated Feature Section) TO those of us who are constantly hoping for better things for the race the announcement of the all-colored sound movie drama, "Thuluelah," will be heralded with hearty applause, "Dory," "The Emperor Jones" and some plays brought a new group of actors to the American stage and the Negro, before that practically restricted to musical comedy and vaudeville, wame into his own as a legitimate actor. The race will honor King Vidor, director of the classic feature, "The Big Parade," who has opened the gates of the screen drama to the Negro actor, just beginning to win real recognition on the stage. This is the real Significance of "Halleujah," Metro Goldwyn-Mayer's great talking drama, the first of all Negro drama in the history of the screen. Our actors, who have scored, no heavily in the new film and have written a new page in screen history, have been gathered from here, there and everywhere. From Broadway shows from vaudeville, from cotton fields, from school-rooing, they came. Some are veterans of the stage, some are mere devices at the art of entertainment and, for most of them, it is their first venture into the world of film art. Victoria Spivey, noted "blues" singer, whose records are heard and imitated the counts over, had never been on the stage, yet we learn that she is one of the cleverest actresses in the entire cast. The old "Dad" in the picture is Harry Gray, he was born in slavvy and is now nearly 90 years old. When freedom came, through the hand of Lincoln, he, like a viral number of the slaves, set out to prove himself.

IRED of pretending, LeClerc restored the plantations to former owners and ordered chattel slavery established again. worthy of the new sphere into which he was thrown. He has been tincerant pregnant and editor, and has followed many other callings in his career. This is his first experience as an actor—but no one, watching him on the screen, could ever deter it. Hundreds of actual cotton workers from along the Mississippi appear, both in the cotton field scenes and in the great baptical service on the river, where total immersion "as is" is shown in an exact replication of such an affair. The picture was made in the cotton plantations about Memphis, Tennessee, along the banks of the "Father of Waters," on Escale street in Memphis (made famous by W. C. Handy's "Beale Street Blues") and in the studies at Colt City, where at the studios at Carver City, where on the great sound stages the Negro spirituals and other songs were rendered by the famous Dixie Jubilee Singers; where Daniel Haynes; whose resonant bass was heard on Broadway in "Old Man River" in "The Show Boat," sang his solos, and where the dialogue was recorded for the interior scenes. "The hero," "Zeke," is played by Daniel Haynes, formerly of "Show Boat," "Tang Tang," understudy of Charles Gilpin, accustomed by some critics as one of the greatest actors on the stage. Haynes has a remarkable background. He is a graduate of two universities: Morris Brown and Chicago. He started his career as a Baptist clergyman, then became a writer and finally, by accident, found himself in a stage role. The heroine, Nina May McKenny, a beautiful brows, comes from New York's "Blackbirds," of 1825. Hereford she then been a dancer, but she has proved herself to be an excellent emotional actress. She is only 18 years of age and is fitted with the manicured enthralm of youth. From present indications, she has a brilliant future. William Fountaine came from vancouver to play the villain; Fannie Belle DeKnight from a long career on the stage in Behascar shows such as "Lalia Rollie"—Everett McGarry was in a Memphis high school, and did school drama, she proved a "blackout" as the brother of the hero. "The three clever children are known in their home of Memphis as "Half Pint," "Gin Hickey" and "Bright Ball." They were picked up by Vidor while dancing for pennies in front of a Memphis hotel. mark afterwards, "There is a deep undercurrent of Vidor never rehearsed them atren- ously, in fact, he knew enough to 'that brings to, the screen an abshe- don the cotton workers, cast them in 'bits' lately new type of drama in them. COLOR CAPTURES AMERICA and get perfect performances. 'Acting seems to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of these people—in fact, they don't act, but literally live their characters. In the wake scenes and in the baptism the extras actually achieved a note of religious hysteria, under the spell of Haynes' voice, as he preached actual sermons to the crowds.' "You see, I am a clergyman—I had so really, preach or it would have been irreverent," was the actor's remark afterwards. The New, Modernistic Tendency Driving "Pure White" from Everything—Lingerie to Literature By HEBA JANNATH In the past 30 years there has been a marked-change toward "Color" in the United States. Color is here used in its broadest sense to mean everything, from persons to innanimate objects, which is not white. There was a time when white was officially synonymous with purity (brides always wore white); with cleanliness (all kitchen utensils, bathroom, barber and hospital equipment were white); with honor (men were spoken of as being "white" not yellow); with morality (good women were said to be as "pure" as driven snow and bad men were said to be "bla bla aborted"); with religion (Jesus Although an Asiatic 'was always pictured with a blond-board, angels always wore white robes and had white wings and the soul was visualized as white, whereas the devil was pictured either as red or black). With the exception of the one phrase, "white-hotred," white always stood for the Good, the Beautiful, and the Pure. So much so that whenever people wished something to look better than it was they "whitewashed" it. Now, the widespread use of white to denote everything superior could not have been wholly accidental. It was rather an unconscious reflection in the speech of the country of color possessed by the dominant group. "LILY WHITE" These terms have been incorporated in the English language and, therefore, are still in use, but it is not reproworthy that they have not the same repute, they once had. Indeed, "lifty white" once used as a term of habitation has now reversed its meaning. While if you said a woman was as "pure" as driven snow you would be laughed at today. But more significant than this is the new vogue of color in America. Color is now entering into every sphere of American life from lingerie to literature. Book titles having one word of color like "Black," "Brown" or "Bronze" sell the book more rapidly apparently than the same book, without this label. Colored choruses are so popular on Broadway that musical shows of inferior quality have been known to thrive, there with this one asset. Whereas, just a few years ago, household linen was without exception always white it is different now. Pink, yellow, blue, violet, red, brown, green and black bed and table linen are now the fashion. White china and glassware are frankly passe. Kitchenware, bathroom mixtures, barber and hospital equipment are all blossoming forth in vivid colors. Even bread, which one boasted of being white no longer does so but now boasts that the grain is "unseparated" and "whole" and that bread which wears a beautiful "tan" is growing in popularity. WHITE DISAPPEARING But the most startling change is in Milady's costume. No woman of fashion would think of wearing white undergarments today. Some stores do not even handle white silk hose any more and it was recently stated by one of our famous designers of fashion that all light colored hose are on the wane, such as flesh, pearl gray and sand, and that vivid and darker colors like red, green, yellow, brown and black will replace them. Wrists handkerchiefs even for men are out of style. Dark face, powders have taken the place of pink and white powders; even in the fairest Cauca- T ENS of thousands of blacks immediately rushed to the hills and joined Toussaint's forces, and the war waxed more bitter. let them do their own scenes—and had his cameras pick up the portions he wanted. Hence the absolute naturalness of the whole story. "It is a simple tale—whether you came from Harlem or Yazoo Bottoms. It is the story of a young Negro who goes wrong, repents, and finds salvation. Its action ranges from the cotton fields to a Negro gambling den—a "salvation train" of colored evangelists—and a love story worked through it. sign toilette "Rachel" is the preferable shade. The models showing the gowns in the smartest shops all wear the darker powders, the darker makeup combines with the vividly colored gowns much better than the lighter makeup. And with the paler gowns offers a fascinating contrast. Even the bridal costume, which heretofore was religiously white, is now shown in the more exclusive New York shops in rose blue and jonquil. Despite all the commotion about gentlemen preferring blondes the most popular movie actresses are brunettes. Clara Bow, Eve Daniels, and Dolores Del Rio, to name three of the most popular, are uncompromisingly "dark". There are, to be sure, several popular blondes, but the biggest box office pull is with the brunettes. And if this is so with the actresses it is much more so with the movie actors. Rudolph Valentino, it will be recalled, was dark. His most famous role was that of the "shank" in which he played the part of a native of Northern Africa, a people known to be, a mixture of Negro and Semitic blood. Valentino's successors are John, Gilbert, Raman Novaro, Rudyard Cole, and Richard Dix, all brunettes. COLOR AND RACES The contours of a country are always a reflection of the group in power. The new interest in color here points to the fact of a rising power among the darker races in the population. In the last 30 years the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Samoa, Porto Rico, Cuba, San Domingo, Haiti, Nicaragua, and the Canal Zone have come under the protection of the United States, all having Colored populations, either in the majority or in the minority, all being non-Nordic in population. Add to this the 12,000,000 Negroes of the United States and the Indians here and in Alaska and it will be seen that the power of color was vastly increased in the last 30 years. The very presence of this large body of Colored dependencies, even if they are at present dominated by the Nordic, has diluted America's whiteness. And even among the whites the brunette has been for 100 years on the increase. Whereas, in the first census 55.6 percent of the white population were of the Nordic stock, by 1900 the ratio had fallen to 65.1 per cent. And now with the increased immigration since then of Russians, Slavs, Mexicans, and Italians it is very much lower. 7 - SEN + RY LITTLE W - ND APE + OWN YS + VE 3 RE + K + LEST OUS + M T + S T + WN What Individual Has Contributed Most to the Progress Of the Negro Race In America? For instance, I have seen Haynes no unstrung in emotional scenes that he had to leave the set; and have seen crowds in actual hysteria under the lash of their emotions. It is this quality that we caught and that opens up a great new field for screen drama with these newcomers to the screen. "We all felt," comments Haynes, "that our own success in the picture meant nothing, but that we were probably opening up a new field for those who are to follow us. So we really had a deep interest in the work. Perhaps, if it does what we hope, it will help the world to understand our race." AMERICA So apparently the new interest in color is not just a passing vogue but has come to stay and is significant of the changing complexion of America. There were between 1830 and 1850 a number of prominent Negroes who ministered to the needs of the Negro race. Among, them were Ira. Aldridge, the successful Shakespearean actor; Edmondia Lewis, the sculptor; Edwin M. Banister and William H. Simpsons, painters of promise, and several others.

Think of the pleasant journey across the Gulf of Mexico, and the fragrances of the great Caribbean Sea. So the wide expanse of water, and the grandeur of the tropic skies.

So, "let us hurry, Coma—Let's go." The Call of the Blood Editor. The Negro World: Let every man and woman of the Negro Race AWAKE to the CALL. God is no shorter than His Word. When He ascended from this earth he said that He was coming again and that to find every nation back in the land which He had prepared for him (them). The Jew has taken King at His Word and is looking to Palestine. Moses spoke to the Israelites and they heard him. Is not the black man's brain as good? Does he not believe in God's Word? Well, if so, then WAKE UP, for it is high time that every nation must be looking toward their home land. God's Word will not fail. Many men and daughters of Africa are now saying, "I haven't lost anything in Africa." They had better try to find something there for to THEM here they have nothing; all seems lost. God has always provided a leader for his people when they were in need of one; so for us He has sent MARCUS CARVEX, who is calling the black people together from all parts of the world. HEAR ME HUM! Answer to the CALL of the BLOOD! Sleep not always. Wake up, black man and help him redeem your homeland, AFRICA. Rally to the cell of the. Parent Body. Help put it on. Think of the children to come.

For such a man like this great leader, I pray the Lord, God will give him and his beloved wife a son to take his place, like Solomon took his father, David's place; that when the father falls, he may be able to say, "here am I—send me, send me." Hoping my prayers shall be answered. I am yours. African, for me sure. MRS. ELIZABETH RUSSELL 14 Rose Lane. Charleston, S. C. The Republic of Liberia was the outgrowth of the American Colonization Society, established in Washington, D. C., in 1816. STOP WORRYING OVER G, O. P. AND JOIN THE U. N. L.A. To the Editor of the Negro World:—Too much controversy is being wasted over the future of the former Republican Negro leadership, which should merely confirm the conviction in the minds of all thinking Negroes that white people want to dominate and dictate all of their political issues. There once was a time when the Negro voter had no alternative; but today he may vote for that candidate or group of candidates who are in sympathy with the program of African Nationalism. When he does this, he is voting for his own interests and really getting something for his vote. African Nationalism is the biggest factor in the lives of the Negro peoples all over the world; if he remains in America or migrates to Africa, nothing can transcend the importance of this ideal. Until we consolidate our strength in one huge unit, our power will be greatly dissipated and weakened. The day has arrived when we need one strong Negro Party, and the only means of perfecting such a political organization is to line up with the U. N. L. A. ARTURI S: GRAY. As The World Revolves The inglorious sufferings of a race, in me find an outfit. God's cars are not deaf to the Negro's such. Shall the black man, some day, rise from the dust? Where for centuries, he has been thrust. Shall he rise from the ashes of his servitude, And in time make fitting, just rectitude? Doth not the grandeur of the past inspire In black hours a zenious fire? Doth not the history of the Pharoahs recall What caused the black man's empire to fall? God is not a sleep. As in the past, crushed die our pride. What race but ours would not betray their trust. Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down. Everyone eventually hits the ground. Tis a knotty problem. I alone, cannot solve. But it will, in time, as the world revolves. HAROLD LIONEL LEWIS. YOU U YOU Are You. Able to Enjoy Life as You Should? Can you eat every thing you desire?
