A Neirro Buys One Million Italian
rth of Liberty Bonds In LooIh
bii a The LarK'nt of Any Other
Single Individual of that State It
Is Bald.
By N. W. Harllee.
The American Negro is fifty-five
years old, fifty years of constituti
onal freedom, years full of experi
ment and adventure, and to say the
least, full of expectation and hope.
What shall we find in the accom
plishment In the life of a person,
a man or a woman, who has reached
the age of fifty-flve years? Andnow
what shall we say or expect or a
group or a race that has reached
the age of fifty years, since the race
is made up of Individuals! wow
shall we measure this race that
other races .declare is etlll In the
experimental staee? Shall we meas
ure It by results and racial achieve
ments or shall we measure it by
what some think we are? Let the
results speak for themselves.
The measure may be applied m
two ways: It may be found from
the growth within and the outward
growth and taking the two together,
we may arrive at the correct meas
urements of the race. . i
One way to measure a person
is by the number of acres of land
he controls or owns, and the first
thought that comes to the mind
when speaking of a citizen is he
tied to ground, that is, does he own
the house In which he lives, or , is
he a part of the community by pos
session? Well, these are good homely
questions that should be asked and
re-asked till we shall have some
million or more of Colored people
to become home owners, real estate
that counts and makes the man a
part of the comraunltv In which he
lives.- Today the race that was born
fifty years ago wltheut home, now
according to the best authorities,
own five hundred thousand homes
and some sixty banks; coming into
freedom without an author, they
can lay claim to five hundred Negro
authors, and In ' looking over the
records of the patent nice at Wash
ington, we find that ope thousand
Negroes have been granted patents;
a remarkable showing in fifty years
Some of these Inventions have been
of material aid in the advancement
of the practical operations along
many lines. We find that brains
and skill will pay good dividend
whoever possess thein and can ap
ply them so as to bring about the
heat results. For these consider
ations, we are much Indebted ta the
late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the
apostle of industrial education. Dr.
Dr. Booker T. Washingon made ont
speech at (he Btate fair that has
had a better effect on our people in
home - "" than any other single
address ever delivered in our city.
Hundreds of Colored people pur
chased homes and opened bank ac
counts after that address. It was a,n
industrial gospel sermon that went
home to the minds that became en
gaged for material uplift -. Soon after
the address, the' records in the city
showed that Colored pfcople jjaid tax
es on property valued at over a mil
lion and a half dollars. Mr. Wash
ington wa9 a most wonderful char
acter that Impressed all who heard
him in. his home getting sermons.
for such they were. 1
Four thousand physicians In fifty
years for a race born in a day, meas
ures up in a degree that any people
might be proud of, and a record of
excellent showing. Thtfn too, the
six hundred dentists is another ag
gregation of which we feel proud,
and. the twenty-five hundred trained
nurses who are to look after our
sick and to handle the afflicted with
tenderness and care is an invalu
able asset in the time of need, while
the two thousand lawyers of the
race mark an unusual progress up
trom slavery with not a single at
torney of race men; .then oo, we
are told that there are now more
than ' two hundred and thirty-seven
Negro ' civil ; and mining engineers,
whose skill and dexerlty In their
profession are meritorious and praise
worthy and that men are as a gen
oral thing a credit to their race
wherever and whenever they have
been put to the test But we are
told that the era of land that the
Colored people own in this coun
try will equal that of . Ireland
and that this is almost a surprise
when it is taken in consideration
that' the Colored man started with
nothing, not even the rags on his
back, with no home, with no shelter
except the blue sky strove his head
and today he owtfs land enough to
measure up with that territory known
as Ireland. What has the race
wrought, and yet we are only fifty
years of age, the age of a young
man. We could numerate much
more along other line, but this is
sufficient to point to some of the
few achievements that may encour
age us to go on.
We. can scacerly believe that a Col
ored man in Louisiana gave one
million dollats, to the purchase of
Liberty Bonds during the late war,
the highest amount purchased by
a single individual In. that state.
This Is sure some purchase in 'fifty
years of progress from poverty and
pinching want In 1865., Then, too,
the part that 'the whole race took
In the purchase of Liberty tonds
and other government-securities are
a matter of Record and need not be
mentioned here. '
'We could mention the great work
that the church is accomplishing
led on by a host of earnest christian
ministers of all denominations anions
our people and wjthout these the
race would be at sea, for It has been
the ministers that kept the faith
and kept our feet In the sralght
and narrow path. The teachers too
have accomplished a commendable
work at a sacrifice, working on small
salaries and with 'many Incovenlen-
ces.
But to conclude the work of fifty
years after two hundred and fifty
years of servitude, is a most remark
able, one.
