C., Feb^?Repreaontative Oscar DePtfest, Negro Republican from Illinois, today: was acconi puniea 10 ine iioor of the House by two former , Negro representatives, John R. Lynch, of Mississippi, and T. E. Miller of South Garolinu. I The Illinois representative presented the former Congressmen to the House and they stood anjl bowed as they were applauded lightly. The Negroes are here to participate in the celebration of "Negro History Week" and are to speak with Congressman DePriest and Senator Glenn Republican Illinois, at a mass meeting tonight. i Miller was horn in South Cnrnlimi in 1849, and served in the fifty firs! congress after successfully Contesting thn election of William Elliott. He served in both the Senate and House of renresentatives in South Carolina and later was president of the State v college at Orangeburg, S. C. Valuable Race Manuscript g C ollected by Society cial and ^economic conditions the As sociation for the study of Negro Lif< and History was fortunate in collect ing about 3,000 valuable manuscripj ' dealing particularly with the uchieve ments of the race. This effort was made in cooperation with tht. Socin Science Research Council and the American Historical Association. Af ter examining the results of this ef fort these various agencies have ex pressed themselves as highlyjpleased mt - inis eiiori was largely exploratory It was hot intended to cover the whoh country. The aim was to find ou whether or not. such valuable docu ments as letters, wiUs, dinriesT deeds ; manumission papers and the like an found among Negroes and white petsons who have, been sufficiently inter ested to preserve . them. It did no require an extensive investigation t< show that such manuscrips. ar0 hen and there among Negroes in all part of the country. Still other document may be discovered- in their hand \ abroad. ' ' On the other hand, it is clear tha although these documents are extan h- persons who hfive little appreciatioi This frequently happens on the deatl o? elderly persons, heads of famllio of distinction running far back int the past. . Thoir children sometime lose interest in.these" things and buri up as rubbish the family record which they'Meave behind. The invest gators..iji charge of thiH work-of-col lecting ' frequently found that sue! a thing had happened in the case o ^ valuable family, records to which' the; had been directed. A nntKnv ur?Qf? aSfnoliAM !* 4l%r* ithe greater the emphasis placed upo the value of these documents the mor inclined the persons approached fo them will be to keep them., In shofo ing how valuable 'they may bo wb,e 5- brought together in a collection the r often receive the impression- that i their scattered form these document L may have the same value. NumcrQu visits are often necessary, therefon to obtain thes6 documents. "?Yet whc such persons decide to {five them u y they usually do so because of the goo that may .do in rewriting the hi? - toj^, of "Hie Negro and in thus givin >* the rtyje a new hearing.at the bar o public opinion. ' ' There is a special reason why doer mer^ bearing on the Negro shoul - be collected. While the history of th white man han been written and r< " written from year to year fa local hit tories or cities, counties and state and in the general histories of th . country, the history of the Negro ha been neglected. The public knows ver little &bout the Negro except in th case of some outstanding eharectc lik?. Booker T. Wachington, Paul Lac ence Dunbar or Roland Hayes and" few years lifter they are dead the p ? blic tends to forget them because thei achievements are not emphasized i y the, historical literature of the time, It is fortunate then that this eol!e< tion is now being made-grid that it J being deposited in flite Library of Got gress to be accessible to-all "^.u^dent of all parts, of the world-far rowinv From these documents may tte/wri - ten and rewritten the history of th Negro when this generation is ti more. The collection will have a spi cial significance when in the years X come men wijl forget their bias an prejudice and. will seek to know tl truth and nothing but the truth an to publish u to the generations ui bora. ^1 i11II^VTi' Mi V j k-V 'yiJ: ' ' * P ? ^ ^ . : . ;' .
