Hear. Africa
Cradle Of
Human Race
WASHINGTON?(ANP)? Africa
is the cradle of the human
race and of the world's oldest cultures,
according to William Lee
Hansberry, associate professor of
history at Howard university.
Hansberry, who has recently
spent some time in Ethiopia and
other African countries studying
the eaily cultures of these lands
pave a brief account of his findings
before the Capitol Press
Club, Monday night.
Africa, sometimes referred t?
as the "dark continent," is rea ly
the richest of all continents in
minerals, according to Hansberry,
It produces 98.5 percent of the
world's diamonds, and its gold pn
duction has reached as high as 02
percent'of all the gold produced'ir
the world. Around 85 percent ol
Africa's income is derived from dia
monds and gold.
In 1956, about 60 percent of the
world's uranium came from Africa
but since that time, the amount ol
production ' has been kept secret,
The continent has about 41 percenl
pf the world's potential hydroelectric
power.
Africa leads "the world in the
production of rubber and equals
the United States Tn~the production
of cotton. It also, produces large
quantities of ivory, dyes, mahogany,
peanuts, bananas^ citrus
fruits, tea, coca, coffee, palm oil
cane sugar, rice and maize.
Hanberry was favorably irnpresj
'il ? i i
?eu wmi tne temperatures to dc
found in Africa. The amount oi
rainfall in certain areas is ideal
he said. Of the 65 million square
mile? comprising this continent, around
11 million have an average
of 20~ inches of rainfall annually.
The climates and adequate raf
fall makes Africa capable of becom
ing the world's greatest industrial
continent, he concluded.
By means of slides, he continued
to show the early cultures Africa
as indicated by antiquated
statues, sculpture, pottery and
other handicraft found in thai
continent. He explained hew
these early cultures had been can
ried into other countries many ced
turies ag'o, and gavea scientific
reasons for the migration of African
s~tnt(r other landsr
He touched lightly on the political
situation in Africa today and
the unrest found in certain sections.
The unrest in the Belgian
Congo was attributed to the lack
of political activity in that area.
Hansberry, who has taught Africans
history at Howard university
for many years and done
much research on the world's earliest
civilizations and culture, re
cently spent a year studying the
antiquities of Ethiopia under a Ful
bright fellowship and made a tour
of Africa under the sponsorship of
the Institute of African-Asian rela
tionship.
DON'T NEED
THE REDS "NEGROES

ROBINSON SAYS
NEW YORK, February 7,?Negroes
can win their fight against
racial discrimination without the
Communists, Jaekie Robinson ol
the Brooklyn Dodgers said today,
Robinson?first of his race tc
break baseball color barrier-writes
m the new issue of Look Magazine:
"We Negroes don't want the
Red's help. We don't need their
help to beat prejudice and lack
of opportunity."
~TTeBpite presistent Red wooings
the current unrest among Negroes
cannot be attributed to the Communists,
Robinson says. He points
out:
"The Negroes in America were
1 stirred ujfSong before there ever
I wat a Comiminist patty and they
will be stirred up long after the
Communist party has disappeared,
unless Jim Grow has disappeared
by then ah Well."
Robinso/ says in his Look article
that Negroes recognize all to well
that everything in America is no1
sunshine and honey. But the allege
tion that they will refuse to servt
in the United -States ArmjT against
Red aggression Is completely untrue.
