AN OPPORTUNITY AND
A CHALLENGE
byRuth
Taylor:
A few weeks ago I made a trip
Ss^^t? some of the National Youth Acl
ministration training centers. Up
to Quoddy Village, out to Wilber
-force And?Mimn?-h Ohio and Illinois.
It wasn't just a show inspection
- I really looked for flaws and
I talked not only with those in
charge, and with students, but with
people in the community; and I
want ,to tell you what impressed
me most in the work. ^
In these war training shops,
there is what the Negioes have alArayB'
wanted ^no discrimination,
an opportunity to train, excellent j
equipment, unexcelled leadership J
and a thorough training for a fu*
ture career.
Those who are taking these cours
f es are doing good work and aie
K . happy, well balanced youth - but
If do enough Negroes realize the full
extent of the opportunity before
them ?
Let's face the facts as they are.
r We all know the Negroes have
f- been discriminated against. in indus
try - but can we truthfully say it
r was altogether because of race pre|V
judite. Wasn't it becaust too many
Negroes had lacked training not
merely in mechanics but in shop
(v practice?
Every boy or girl who completes
his N.Y.A. training can go out
from the shops not only prepared
to earn a living m industry, but
prepared to be a good advertiset;"
ment for the race, to open new
doors to the employment of Negroes
by proving he or she is a
careflut, conscientious, reliable
worker. In helping themselves they

watched the girls in the machine
