Roland Hayes, through the irr$rre
of his golden voice, won permission
to stay at Fisk temporarily, A

Bravely Roland Hayes took this next
stepj never doubting that, despite appearance,-it
was on the direct road to
-?r??.his goaW-HWfaitih wd-srjTistHiod. l.TP
"the members of that exclusive, club
became deeply interested in his ambition.
: They helped him to a position in
a business office in Boston where he
could study voice with the, famous
aard work finnally brought Hayes to
what called his "first real sho've?a
concert at Symphony Hall in I
1917. ' . '
But his way did not at onee become
smooth. For three years business by
day alternated with concerts by night.:
Then musical critics began to hint
at the necessity, of "European prestige."
Undaunted', the^young. singei
went to London and took the last of
his savings to reqt. a hall. [Before
tne date set for his first appearance;
" 'here came to the lonely young Negro

He wag sumnioiied- to JLiekinglnun

What came after thgt^ all the world
knows. Roland Hayes captured the
musical circles of Europe and won
for himself fame and a fortune great
wTiousTi, to permit him to indulge in
his lone-cherished wish to help aspiring
boys oi his own race. Not the
leant of his happiness came Irom )n.mother's
pride in his achievements"
For w-hen she read the account of
how 1>e, her shy little country Lad,
had . sung.-without a tremdr before
royalty, njer last vestige of prejudice
against the "singin' perfession" Vanished.
From that tifnc her truthful,
