BIG BATTLE AGAINST SEGREGATION LOOMS Omaha Pastor to Celebrate 34th Anniversary of His Ordination LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy BIG BA Omaha P ANTI-RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION FIGHT IN SEVENTEEN CITIES National Advancement Association Reports Action Against Evil Along Lengthening Line of Defense DENVER THE LATEST ADDITION Metropolis of Centennial State Finds Colored Citizens Prepared to Fight for Legal Rights New York.—Acute segregation situations in seventeen cities throughout the United States, ranging from New York to Los Angeles, are reported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has just received a report adding the city of Denver, Colo., to those previously listed. George W. Gross, president of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., reports that "the grm monster of segregation has raised its head in Denver as in other cities just now and it looks as though we are to have a fight here." The Denver situation arises out of a joint meeting recently by three "improvement" associations, whose members and friends are being urged to sign agreements not to sell property to Negroes. Pettitions have been prepared and are being circulated for every block in those districts and numbers of property owners are reported to have signed. Proposals were also discussed at the white property owners' meeting, to establish a separate school for Negro students and to amend the state law to provide for segregation. The cities besides Denver now involved in segregation fights are: DETROIT: 11 Negroes charged with first degree murder for defending Dr. O. H. Sweet's home from a riotous mob, are being defended by the N. A. A. C. P. STATEN ISLAND (New York City): Samuel A. Browne, colored letter carrier, has repeatedly been threatened with death if he does not sell his house. Backed by the N. A. A. C. P., Mr. Browne, is suing a white neighbor who has been indicted for participation in disorders. WASHINGTON, D. C.: Case of segregation by property owners' agreement is pending in U. S. Supreme Court, carried to that court by the N. A. A. C. P. NEW ORLEANS: N. A. A. C. P. is fighting local segregation ordinance passed in contravention of Supreme Court's decision in Louisville segregation case of 1917. NORFOLK, VA., has passed ordinance similar to that of New Orleans. ST. LOUISE: Attempt to enjoin colored physician from buying and occupying property subject to white property owners' agreement. Outcome of this case depends upon Supreme Court's decision on case now up in Washington. ROANOKE, VA.: Home bombed, and S. C. Medley sued for not consummating purchase of a house in which his white neighbors would not have permitted him to live. BALTIMORE: Court upheld race zoning law, segregating races. PITTSBURG: Colored people arrested for firing on prowlers after receiving K. K. K. threats. LOS ANGELES: Case involving attempt to dispossess colored people from ownership of land which it had been previously agreed was not to be sold to Negroes. ST. LOUIS: Attempt to prevent Attorney William T. Francis from occupying home he had purchased. Fiery cross was burned in front of house. Local N. A. A. C. P. furnished watchman. FALLS CHURCH, VA.: Attempt by court action (injunction) to prevent a colored man erecting a house on lot purchased by him some time previously. KANSAS CITY, MO.: Homes of Negroes bombed; threats made against Negroes living in so-called white districts. Local N. A. A. C. P. furnished watchman to guard homes from mob attack. CLEVELAND: Attempt being made to prevent colored doctor from occupying property he has purchased. OAKLAND, CAL: Attempt made to force Negro dentist to remove from THE MONITOR WEALTHY WHITE WOMAN Will Present Copies of "Bursting Bonds", the Autobiography of Negro Scholar, to Libraries and Individuals CERTAIN OF ITS HELPFULNESS New York—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Mrs. C. K. Bartlett, prominent and wealthy woman of North Carolina, writes from Asheville that she will present copies of "Bursting Bonds", the autobiography of William Pickens, to white school libraries and to white individuals whom "racial conditions" might otherwise prevent from getting it. In a letter she writes as follows: "I have just read 'Bursting Bonds' and if I can succeed in placing it in hands that would not otherwise have found it, I shall be, to say the least, better satisfied with a life's accomplishments. "The duty of every human is to see as much of the world as possible—and here we are arrived at the root of the trouble with the white American provincialism so provincial that he fails to 'see' his nearest and best neighbor, the Negro American. You are generous in your apologies for him—existing social conditions—but the fact remains that with wonderful heroism, you overcame the handicap these conditions imposed on you and have done inestimable service toward rescuing him from the clutches of this stultifying provincialism, the handicap placed on him by the monster, 'social conditions'. I haven't a doubt that to some of your Yale classmates, the biggest and best thing derived from the years at this great university, was their acquaintance with you, Mr. Pickens, and whenever I can put your book into the hands of white boys, it will be in the hope of doing something for Negro young people and the certainty of doing MUCH for white ones." NEWSPAPER IN INDIA COMMENDS N. A. A. C. P. A newspaper published in India, "The Hindu", on July 4th last, in the course of an article on the relations of America and India, comments as follows on the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "The Association for the Advancement of the Colored People offers a fine illustration of what can be done by steady, intelligent and persistent agitation to educate people and to uphold the rights of an oppressed section of the population. Since they began their work in 1889 (should be 1909) lynchings have decreased from 175 to 16 in the year. Many whites have been brought to trial and punished. They have created a sentiment in the North against the exploitation of the colored people, which is influencing the better minds of the South and they have brought to bear all the influence available on the redressal of injustices. They have helped to give the Negro a new spirit of self-respect — —" Denison, Ia.—Joe Cary, the Negro who was killed in a stabbing affray at Arion last week, was given a military funeral by the Denison Legion post. He had papers showing he had served in the late war and was honorably charged. His mother at Jeannerette, La., was heard from and could not send funds to have the body sent to her. The funeral was held in the chapel of the undertaking parlors of the coroner, John Snorner. The casket was draped with the flag and flowers. Three members of the W. R. C. sang the hymns and the sermon was given by the Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Hamlin. The Legion boys were out in uniform, and at the grave the customary salute for the dead was given. Cary was a strong looking intelligent young man, and had evidently done good service for his country as a soldier. new home in so-called white district. Threatening letters signed K. K.

She loved to entertain and her home was the scene of many pleasant social affairs. Having musical and dramatic ability she took part in many successful entertainments of this character. The funeral was held from the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon, Monday afternoon at 2:30, interment being in the family plot in Prospect Hill cemetery. The pallbearers were Messrs. T. P.

Editor Charles Johnson states that "the winning editorials, news stories, and features will be placed in a new prominence, and their message as well as their skillful handling pitted against the best that the white press can offer". The following editorial in October "Opportunity" explains the purpose behind the awards: "The Negro weekly press is today one of the most important agencies for the forming of opinion among Negroes. It expresses their desires and grievances, their philosophies and their faiths. For this group it is the fourth estate, no less powerful than that institution to which Edmund Burke addressed himself. It can inspire, foster and create movements; it can ruin them. The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of New York, under the sturdy and inspiring leadership of Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, has shown a rare discernment in directing its attention to the press, and combining with the ideal of competent craftsmanship that of inter-racial peace and understanding. There are perhaps more Negro writers in this field than in any other, and incentives to the highest standard of production are not always present. More attention needs to be paid to the editorials of this press. Always they are interesting, and, not infrequently, they are brilliant and compelling. The prizes offered are in recognition of the latent existence of literary competence in a field where improved technique can register in definite social returns. They, also, are the seeds of a living monument to inter-racial good will for which we all are working, and to which end the press itself can, perhaps, contribute most." N. A. A. C. P. NATIONAL New York.—Arthur B. Spingarn, vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and chairman of its legal committee, has gone to Detroit, accompanied by Assistant Secretary Walter White, to confer with the Detroit Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and local counsel for the defense of Dr. O. H. Sweet, Mrs. Sweet and nine other defendants, held in charges of murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob. In the meantime Mrs. Sweet was released from prison on $10,000 bail, bail bond being furnished by local colored citizens, Mr. and Mrs. Jack W. Johnson, and Dr. L. Thomas, through the intermediary of the Detroit N. A. A. C. P. One of the most prominent lawyers in the United States has signified his willingness to be associated with the case. His name will be proposed to local counsel and the N. A. A. C. P. Branch in Detroit and will be made public when arrangements have been completed.

HELPING OUT A WEALTHY, wide-visioned, generous-hearted white woman of North Carolina having read the delightful autobiography of William Pickens, entitled "Bursting Bonds", has announced that she will present copies of this fascinating volume to white school libraries and individuals whom "racial conditions" might otherwise prevent from getting it. She believes, and rightly, that the reading of such a book will compel many white Americans to gain a more sympathetic insight into the real worth, mental, moral and spiritual, and aspirations of "his best neighbor, the Negro American". She graciously writes the author, "whenever I can put your book in the hands of white boys, it will be in the hope of doing something for Negro young people and the certainty of doing MUCH for white ones." This generous, broad-minded woman recognizes that ignorance is the parent of prejudice and misunderstanding and that he or she who can enlighten the ignorant is rendering humanity an excellent service. Despite their general knowledge and intelligence, white Americans, as a class, are woefully ignorant concerning the Negro American. This is due to the fact that they do not read our literature, study our art, give audience to our speakers or listen to our musical artists. They flatter themselves that they know all about us, because they know something about our points of weakness, but little or nothing about our points of strength. This accounts for racial antipathy and misunderstanding. Anything therefore that can make for better understanding between those who lean towards estrangement is to be encouraged and commended. The reading of "Bursting Bonds" and similar works from the pen of race authors will do much towards removing this misunderstanding and creating sympathetic insight. Mrs. Bartlett's plan will have incalculable influence for good. She is helping to solve the problem. INDIA APPRECIATES THE FAR-REACHING influence of the publicity work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is brought forcibly home by an item published in a newspaper in India noting the decline in lynchings in the United States through the unremitting work of this great society. "The Hindu", which is the name of the newspaper, cites the work of the N. A. A. C. P. as "a fine illustration of what can be done by steady, intelligent and persistent agitation to educate people and to uphold the rights of an oppressed section of the population." This comment is significant. The natives of India are becoming increasingly and belligerently restive under British rule. They feel themselves in their own country "an oppressed sec- THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible. No element of Ar yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Moder A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Foel."

The movement for self-determination grows apace. "Steady, intelligent, persistent agitation" is going on in India, and it is encouraging for those who are struggling for rights there to be able to point to a concrete illustration of the results of "persistent agitation to educate the people" in upholding their rights in the United States. The recognition of the splendid work the N. A. A. C. P. is doing in the United States by an influential newspaper in far-off India should open the eyes of thousands of our own people in this country who seem perfectly oblivious to the tremendous work the N. A. A. C. P. is doing to uphold our rights here. The Association has done and is doing well with its membership of 110,000. But what tremendous power it could wield, what stupendous work it could do, "to uphold the rights of an oppressed section of the population", if its membership were 1,000,000, as it really should be. GET BUSY NOW! THAT OMAHA should and must have some colored teachers in our public schools is practically the unanimous sentiment of all our intelligent citizens. Since this is true, there is one way to go about getting them. It should be done now at a time when there is no special political agitation going on that might becloud the issue. A strong representative committee from the churches, the lodges and other organizations should be selected to go before the Board of Education and make a united demand for this just recognition. Some one has suggested that a mass meeting be called for selecting such a committee. The Monitor believes that the better way would be for say the Ministerial Alliance, the N. A. A. C. P., the Masons, the Oddfellows, the Elks and similar fraternities, the Women's Federation and like organizations to meet and select two representatives from their respective bodies to represent them in presenting this matter. Representatives from these bodies could then meet and outline the plan of procedure. What do you think of this plan? But at all events let us get busy now! HOW LONG are the people who live west of Twenty-fourth street on Burdette, Erskine and other streets out that way going to be satisfied with unpaved and poorly lighted streets? You are entitled to public improvements. Go after them! The Community Chest Drive for next year will be put on November 15. Get ready for it. Who was "the dark lady" in Shakespeare's life?—B. B.
