Negro Artists' Need

The plea for "Race PyirK' ?
come In some degree, m o no to noiii;.
for il seeimfas tho' the pleading, \u
a great extent, falls on deaf ems.
80 just in what hianner or form a
plea should be presented in order to
obtain 'the results'sought after remains
to be attained.
It seems to be utterly impossible
for us to recognize our individual responsibility
without it being first
brought to our attention by sonic* out "

are we too narrow and_selft*h4 r
Writing in behalf of our local ar-.
tists. I wish to .ask this question:
Why is it that we do r jt have more

the artist or artists with your coinmtnts
of favor care of the "station:
Quite a few of our local ai-tists have
appeared in groups and individually
over our station, kbut as they soon
faded into' oblivion leads one, who
wishes to see his race advance in every
and ali lights to- wonder what's ;
wrong. Knowing that the Race is
abip to compete with those of other j
laces, the question leadg to the answer
previously -mentioned.We
"nave had our choice. Everyone [
of us.enjoys to hearing a program
ofV'Ncgro Spirituals'' over, the radio. 1
Did we bodst the "Manudi Trio." j
The Harmony Four" The./'Jehpvah i
Female Four" and "The S.lver Tones.'
etc"? We enjoy pppular musical;., 1 en-j
dered- by the rate. Did We support
