Mrs. Ernestine G. Milner
Guilford College, North Carolina
ris Brown. Georgia Tech and Morehouse.
The address was preceded by a prayer, a
spiritual, and a solo, “Deep River.” sung
by Miss Frazetta Williams. The subject
of the address was “Race Tensions in the
Modern World.”
In his address Dr. Reid cited the diffi
culties that the races of today encounter.
He reviewed the outstanding problems of
racial adjustment and said that the work
is not for emotion, nor is it for logic, but
a combination of logic and intelligent
emotion.
Mr. Reid led us to believe that our
problem is an inherited one and came
about because of the travels of races in
earlier days from one specific region to
another among other peoples. “The race
problem,” said Mr. Reid, “had no forma
tion and no reason, but it has at its base
social problems that usually press down
on minority groups. In his talk, he made
a brief trip around the world touching
race problems of the Negroes of the
Caribbean region, the Jews of Germany,
the Negro of America, the “Poor Whites”
of America, the Japanese and Chinese
people of Asia, and the Africans. W ith
the aid of appropriately designed posters
made by Mr. Hale Woodruff, Mr. Reid
gave a geographical and historical survey
of the seething Caribbean, an economic
and religious discussion of the wandering
Jew. a summary of facts about the perma
nent minority race of America, a short
resume of the nonmistakable characteris
tics of the Poor Whites and the Blacks,
a clear view of a wild Asia, the situation
of the half caste peoples, the dark plight
of the African, and named South America
as a land for the free and a home for the
brave.
A live forum discussion followed, and
tlie singing of the Negro National An
them closed the meeting.
