Speaks at Lanier Club
The February meeting of the
Lanier Club was held at the Con
gregational Church house, Wed
nesday, Feb. 6, at 3:30 with Mrs.
Alexander Dye, president, con
ducting the business part of the
meeting. Following this, Miss
iMiitn Penney, program chairman,
introduced Mliss Ainnie Rogers,
director of Bethlehem Center,
Spartanburg, who spoke on “The
Negro in the South Today”.
Miss Annie Rogers has devoted
many years to working among the
Negroes, and her efforts in Spart
anburg and in other Bethlehem
Centers. have always been aimed
at helping the Negroes improve
their lives by improving their
own leadership and surroundings.
The Bethlehem Centers were es
tablished about fifty years ago
by the women of the Methodist
Church to take the message of
Christ to Negro communities, to
develope Negro leadership, and to
increase understanding between
racial groups. Miss Rogers, fol
lowing these principles, has come
to have a very sympathetic know
ledge of the people with whom
she works. In her talk she covered
aspects of the Negro family,
church, school and press and men
tioned how much had been achiev
ed m ail these important factors
of Negro life since 1865. The il
literacy rate, for example, drop
ped from 95 per cent in 1865 to
15 per cent in 1945 and equally
great advances have been made
in other fields.
Tea was served at the close of
the meeting with Mrs. R. M.
McCown chairman of the hostes
ses. Her committee consisted of
Mrs. Arthur Lincoln, Mrs. J. O.
Safford, Mrs. Ernest Burwell
and Miss Elizabeth Stanwood.
