and wrong," he stresses.
Wesley, who holds a
Ph.D. ; from Harvard,
began teaching history
and modern languages at
Howard in 1913. His
tenure at Howard also
included . appointments
as director of the Sum
mer School, acting dean
of the College of Literal
Arts and dean of the
Graduate School.
He left Howard in
1942 to become president
of Wilberforce Universi
ty, and later he became
president of Central
State College, a post he
relinquished in 1965.
' Subsequently, he serv
ed as executive director
of the Association for
ihe Study Of Negro Life
and History until 1972.
Today, -he continues his
scholarly pursuits and
has completed 22
chapters of his
autobiography. .v.. -v:-The
wisdom of this
historian has been
reflected- in numerous
books. Among his many
publications are Negro
Labor in the United
States, The Collapse of
the Confederacy, The
Negro in the Americas
and , The History of
Alpha Phi Alpha.
In an address before
the Negro Organization
Society in 1937, Wesley
was quoted in the Nor
folk, Va., Journal and
Guide as saying that the
second emancipation "is
due to a movement from
within". "So far as the
Negro is concerned, he
needs an emancipation
from the idea that Africa
and- all things black
belong to inferior
groups. Let us not be un
mindful of the fact that
there were once kings in
Africa, that in the so
called 'Dark Continent'
were the very beginning
of civilization."
During that same ad
dress, he pointed ou
other ideas that he
believes still ring true to
day, "We need an eman
cipation from thhe belief
that we should be objects
of charity rather than
given and opportunity to
. work out our own
economic salvation. We
need an emancipation
from the type of leader
ship which seeks benefits
only for self, rather than
for the good of the
masses. We need to be
rid of the professional
man and. others of his
kind who have no con
cern for the difficulties
and problems of the
group as a whole."
Responding . to news
that . four tortured
Lutheran pastors have
been hospitalized in .the
South ' African-created
territory of Venda, a
Lutheran Church official
in New York has pro
tested to :, the . South
African government and
asked, the U.S. govern
ment to intervene, ('
The Very Rev. -T.S,
Farisani, dean of a nor
thern diocesan district
encompassing Venda,
and three other ministers
from . the . Evangelical
Lutheran Church in
Southern Africa, were
among: fifteen persons
who have been detained
during the past two mon
ths; by . Venda security
police.; The other three
pastors are r M.
Pashwana, . A.M.
Mahamba, and P.M.
Phosiwa, V ,
Paul Wee, general
secretary of the Lutheran
World Ministries, said
ast week in a letter to
South African Am
bassador Donald Sole in
Washington: "It has
been confirmed that four
Lutheran clergy have
been subjected to brutal
torture by the authorities
and at least one is in
critical condition.
Moreover, a Lutheran,
parishioner, Tshifhiwa
Muofhe, died the second .
day of his detention early
in November. We
deplore this inhuman
treatment of prisoners of
. conscience and call upon .
responsible authorities
of the South African
bandit state to cease and
desist this brutality and
other violations of
human rights."

Wee also, called upon
the State Department to
bring : pressure on the
South African govern
ment. In Washington, a
State - Department -; of
ficial ; said "We're
monitoring
developments in Venda
very closely but will not
comment ;r on private
diplomatic exchanges'
' In West. Germany,
where the Lutheran
Church is strong, the
government . lodged ' a
formal protest with the
ranking official in the
South African embassy
in Bonn.
South Africart of
ficials are believed to
have told both govern
ments that it has no
jurisdiction over the ter
ritory, which it declared
independent in J 979.
No other government,
however, has recognized
that independence. In
addition, a State Depart
ment ' official said, the
frkiir . niclrie o rt all x
classified as South
African citizens.
The detentions appear
to be linked to political
rlV(lnnn1fntc ' hnlh in
Venda find in South
Africa at large. In pre
independence elections,
the South African
favored political party of
Chief Mphephu won on
ly eleven of 41 legislative
assembly seats, but it ob
tained a majority by the
appointment of 42
Chiefs. Opposition to
Mphephu and the
declared independence
of the territory has been
strong. And both
Farisani and Muofhe
were active in the now-
banned Black People's
Convention: in South
Africa, a firm opponent
of the government
'policies.
The detensions follow-
. ed closely an October 26
guerrilla attack on the
police station in the Ven
da town Of Sibasa car
ried out by the also
outlawed African Na-
tional Congress.
