ON NEGRO HISTORY
ROCKY MOUNT This col
umn has long lamented the
dearth of the knowledge of the
history and noble past of the
black and brownskined peoples—
particular as It affects the Ameri
can colored man commonly called
"Negro” and his African ances
tors. This Is alarmingly prevelent
with our high school and college
students; and quite disturbing a
mong most of our colored teach
ers, who are far short of "Who’s
Who in Colored America.”
To that end th« national office of
NAACP has cooperated with other
educational agencies In the pro
motion of a series of “Heroes of
wbo pioneered the way to the top
in political, educational, legal and
inventive fields of endeavor In A
merica and on foreign fields > even
against greater odds than exist to
day. Occasionally, we shall try to
present breif sketches of a few of
these as space is allowed us.
May we. today, consider JOHN
MERCER I.ANGSTON, (the great
uncle of Langston Hughes, current
poet-author) who was born on a
Virginia plantation in 1829 as the
son of -his slave-master Ralph
Quarles and Lucy Langston, a sla
ve, who became Quarles' mistress.
Lucy Langston was freed from sla
very after the birth of her first
child, John being the youngest of
four children. John's parents re
ixjrtedly died when he was four or
live years old.
John's father, being "a man of
strong abolitionist leanings, had
made liberal provisions for his
children atv „ was sent to a
friend In Cincinnati. Ohio, where
he was reaied as a son."
A brilliant student, John became,
in 1883 the first president of Virgin
ia Normal and Collegiate Institute,
later serving in the House of Re
presentatives; a professor of law,
dean and acting vice prexy of Ho
ward University. And in 1889,
j >r.n M. Langston was elected to
the House and served until 1891. He
also served his nation eight years bi
Minister to Haiti and Charge d'Af
fnlres of the Dominican Republic
and published his book "From Vir
ginia Plantation to the Natior.il
Capitol" in 1894. He died in IRM7,
we regret uuu.uio reeve, is. Baton
Cox and W. E. Banks permitted
themselves to get caught up In too
much emotional excitement so as
to cause them to be credited (dis
ci edited) with having pledged
themselves to self-destruction on
behalf of civil rights. We wl o are
attempting to lead In this great
civil rights fight must - at all times
be very careful of what wa say or
do. lest the enemy ensnares us. Just
such a thing la happening In Enfield
now.
A business and civic leader there
has been maneuvered Into the dis
favor of his own colored neighbors
by the white* while they set a trap
to relieve him of some land for their
road, the while causing the Negroes
to dislike him If he refuses to give
right-of-way. Negroes should waka
up and pull together for their own
mutual good. JOIN NAACP.

MAKE BROTHERHOOD REAL
Every year in February we claim
to set aside a “Brotherhood Week”
in which colored" and white mini
sters (iq some few large cities) ex
change pulpits or Intersperse con
gregations with members of the op
posite race for a day in a feeble at
tempt to show that whites don't
after all hate or dislike Negroes
who act good and nice.
The colored people past fifty
years old have heretofore looked
upon this with great favor and for
giveness of the burdens of his white
brother's wrongs to him down
through the ages. But not so with
the younger generation of Negroes
who feel that the time is at hand
when they should begin to enjoy
some of the fruits of the land for
which their grand and great-grand
parents dredged the swamps and
fought the wars to help gain.
Those from fifty down to the
cradle • many of them who have
not been 'conditioned' refuse to ac
cept the admonition to “wait a
little longer” for freedom and
'brotherhood'. They have the wit
ness of a century of “waiting” in
humility, submissiveness and stand
ing around to get a few crumb*
from the modern Pharoah't table.
They can wait no longer!
These people of color * all of
them are crying out for release
from poverty, job denial because of
color or because they have not been
granted the equal chance to learn
the many crafts; or because the
farms they once were the main
stay of have now been mechanized
beyond their untrained hands and
untutered heads.
Segregationist protest any special
laws or regulations to benefit this
impoverished group of Negroes
who number is legion. But history
records that when the same segre
gationists disenfranchised the Ne
groes about seventy-five years ago.
they made a stop-gap law called
the “Grandfather Clause” to per
mit the unlettered whites to con
tinue to voted - he and his progeny
until years enough had elapsed for
them to become educated to a
nominal degree.
True brotherhood demands that
such measure* be taken to provide
in tee millions of colored displaced
persons who are denied Jobs and
equal educational facilities mainly
because of skln-colorl There can be
no true brotherhood so long as mil
lions of rich whites of the South
permit such to exist!
They can call the Negro shift
less, lazy, unkempt or whatever
they please; but he is what the
South has made him or caused him
to be through Inattention and de
privation until just recently the
world has gotten to be one big
neighborhood without any degree
of ncighborllness. Now the stench
smells around the world and we are
reaping what we have sewn - re
volutions popping up in every
nation and state. Let's get in earn
