THE CAMPUS MIRROR
November 15, 1935
The Future of the Darker
Races
The first of a series of cultural en
tertainments to be given at Morehouse
College was the lecture by I)r. W. E.
B. Du Hois, November 8.
Strangely enough, the present Italio-
Ethiopian conflict does not alarm Dr.
DuBois; he sees in it very hopeful
signs for the darker races, because by
it the whole world has been more in
telligently startled than ever before
into a vivid realization of the bar
barism and inhumanity of the kinds
of aggression which have been prac
ticed again and again by other nations
during the ages.
But in the present situation, there
is definite protest from all nations,
whether members of the League or
not. Modern means of communication
have made it possible for all people
to have more information than ever
before in a great conflict.
It is economically unwise, if not
utterly impossible, for the nations to
withstand another World War with
out complete ruin and destruction, and
with such interwoven relations, and
interests as exist, all nations would be
come involved.
This present confict has certainly
done more than any other one incident
to create among colored peoples a feel
ing of kinship in a common danger.
This fact is illustrated by the thrill
that coursed through the hearts of the
blacks of Africa from one end of the
continent to the other when an Ethio
pian army destroyed part of an Italian
army.
A new day for the darker races is
coming! A day of real freedom in its
noblest meaning. But great prepara
tion is necessary to be able to receive
and appreciate it when it does come.
This requires leadership which can not
exist without intelligent followers.
Here is the task of education as ad
mitted by the present generation.
