Says Negroes Came To America Before Columbus Lynchburg, Va. (ANP) Lorenzo J. Greene, research investigator for the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, ad dressed the teachers and students of Lynchburg Theological Semi nary, at Lynchburg, Virginia, Tuesday. Mr. Greene told his au dience that th ewidespread igno rance the world over concerning the Negro’s past, the omission oi anything creditable concerning lum in text boons and otner nv I erasure, tne wuuui suppression ox itnown iacts, and the engendering ox deliberate propaganua unde* tne guise ox history calculated to demean and to deuase tne iNegro not only in the eyes of tne world, out of the Negro himselx, has made the study and circulation oi the real lacts of Negro history imperative. Air. Greene refuted many ac cepted but erroneous theories con cerning the iNegro, muen to tne delight of his listeners. He dis pelled the notion that the Negro nad his beginnings in slavery by narrating tne rich heritage of the Negro in Africa before the des truction of the great Negio kingdoms there following the be ginning of the slave trade. He al so took issue with the current theory that the Negro has always lacked pioneering spirit, by pointing out that recent investi gation has shown that Negroes actually visited America long be fore Columbus and had left here as evidence of their coming such highly prized commodities as cot ton, tobacco, and yams. It is al so common knowle'dge, the speaker added, that Negroes ac companied all the Spanish ex plorers in their colonization of North and South America. They were with Pizarro in Peru, with Cortez in Mexico, De Soto upon | his discovery of the Mississippi, with Ponce De Leon in Florida, and with Coronado in New Mex ico, Arizona, and other parts of what is now the Southwestern United States. The speaker further stated that the theory that the Negro cannot compete intellectually with the white race is an idle shibboleth founded upon prejudice and igno rance alone. To disprove such he recalled Negroes who had excelled in various fields of endeavor. Among them he ranked Sebastian Gomez, the great Spanish Negro painter, in the same class with Raphael and Leonardo di Vinci, called Matzeliger, the Negro in ventor of shoe machine, in the same breath with Fulton and Gut enberg, regarded Juan Latino, and Antar the equals of either Geothe or Byron in the field of poetry, and placed Essadi, the Negro his torian, in the same classification as McCauley or Bancroft. Both the teachers and stuudents listened in rapt attention as Mr. Green unfolded the story of Ne gro achievement. VA.
