DISCUSSES
Now York, Oct. 26.-?'The work of
i '
Negro artists js rapidly working what
is virtually a ^evolution in sentiment
toward the Npgro n America, accord
ing to James Weldon Johnsofi/'Secretary
of the National Association^ for
the Advancement of Colored People,
Magazine on "Race Prejudice ,and
the Negro Artist/'
Negf?rfolk~artpwhich' has been -Tih^orbed
into the nation's culture, and
which is known throughout the world
through" Dpirituals, Blui'R, dflhce -wurdo
and folk lore, is now approaching
its end, says Mr. Johnson:
"The Negro has done a great deal
hrough his folk-art creations to
change the national attitudes towards
him; and now the efforts of the race
have b?en reinforced and magnified
Joy he individual Negro . artist, the
"onscious artist. -It is fortunate that
he individual Neg'ro artist has er
merged; for it is more than probable
that with the ending of the creative
period of. the Blues, which seems..to
b*? at .hand, the whole folk creative
effort of the Negro in the United
States will come to a close. All the
fhychological an'd environmental for_ics
are working- te thatr-en4r?A4 any
ate. it is the irtdividual Negro artist
hat is now. doing most to effect ft
-rumbling of the inner walls of race
prejudice; there- are outer and inner
-walls." ' ;v . ...
I. Mr. Johnson* traces the new aware-oess
of oulured?poets; of whom He
?alLs .Claude. McKay>the most powerful,
voicing Negro feeling after the
world war, and traces the develop-.
ment of the Nef;ro in the drama and
>n the stage, beginning with the throe
plays of Negro Life by Ridgeley Torrence
in 1917, followed by The Emnorer
Jones wffh Charles Gilpin
Shuffle Along, Roland Hayes, Paul
Robeson, J. Rosamond Johnson, and
Tiiylnr nnrrlny, ng wflll na Ky .Tnlinc
( Pledsoe, Rose McClendon, Frank Wilson
and Abbie Mitchell, the last three
olaying in Porgv.
Concluding his survey, which' Indudes
the riarftea of other performers
of" prose writers and the few Negro
painters and sculptors in America,
Mr, Johnson writes: "I do not think
< it too much to say that through ab
i usuc acmevement the Negro has
| found a means of getting ^he very
;core of the prejudice against him.
Hy challenging the Nordic superiority
om plex. I I : The connotations
'of the very word 'Negro'-have beeir
"hanged: 'A generation ago many No
.'/roes were half or wholly ashamed
of the term. Today they have every
jieason to be proud of it." .
Kindergarten Opens
The College Street Kindergarten,
conducted by-Miss Anna~Baker, was
fbrmally opened Monday evening,
Oct. 22. The tots gave= evidence of
the splendid training they are receiving
by several well rendered selection??singing
and reading. . Miss Baker
presided at the piano and was assisted
by her niece the little Miss An1
vi B. Lewis. There were many in attendance
at the opening. Rev. R. E.
Brogdon-delivered an address.
Chester Paragraphs '
.
The Synod was largely attended
last week at Carmel Presbyterian
church by representatives from many
states, and all expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the hospitality
shown by the people of Chester.
Rev. Mr. Manohey, the pastor,
j Willi liiS"iurrKVPRfttion, and-friends of
I other denominations are proud of the
I success of the meeting.
The Heroines of Jericho is a neto
fraternal order organized on Thursday
afternon by Mr. J. S. Stanback,
Deputy. This order is composed of
Eastern, Star members, and bids fair
. ft.
planation and apology.. ,
That the honesty and integrity of
party organization depend on the
complete removal of all Negroes from
.voice, and_AUthLOrity^_ ?
That the appovnimeyt of a public
official is an act which concerns only
white citizens, nnf that colroed citizens
should have neither voice nor
consideration in such appointments.
