F\IT R DAY J ANU ARY 14, 1888
reOrTWe ON
THE PRESENT CONDITION
AND THE.FUTURE OF
THE NEGRO.
On Monday night last, the lecture
room of the First African Baptist
church, was crowded to its utmost
capacity, the occasion being an
address of Rev. E. K. Love, on the
present condition and the duty ot
the Negro. The audience was in
full sympathy with Dr. Love, who
surpassed himself in his eloquent
appeals for the race to elevate itself.
He showed his audence the pitiable
condition in which the race stood;
because of a lack of union among
themselves. The Negro is not unit
ed against those who appose his
elevation, because he is a cowaid,
but he is very quick to knock each
other down; in union is power which
is only hope. W bite men arc united,
thev never try to destroy their lead
ers" Joe Brown who has been cursed
and abused, and burnt in effigy, was
yet elected to the U. S. Senate.
White men help each other, you
never hear them say about their lead
ers "he has sold out.” Ignorance
is the parent ot distrust and distrust
is the farther of destruction.
The Negro should support his loc
al newspaper. He should subscribe
for it and pay for it, as long as it is
true to his race. The papers are
thinking and talking always for his
ng s. They are power fu 1
a, s for good or for evil,
an ! he Negro should support the
pa pc that is faithful in his advoca
cy. o race can succeed in the
b. '; f life without the press. He
will ti.ke more from a white man
than a I ack one, because he has no
one at h s back. If you don’t sup
port a p; per, you can’t give the lie
when vot are misrepresented, vilifi
ed and tn duced.
The race must come together and
create and support its own business
enterprise. There are about 20,000
colored pe< pie in Savannah, who
spend at a h w estimate over a mil
lion dollars a year, By umvmg they
would handle and work this money
for their own elevation. \\ hoevei
get it will become rich and power
ful. The white man gets it all now.
the Negro gets none. I’he latter
should be able to purchase his cradle
from one o his race, have his own
doctor to soothe his dying hour, and
a Negro to bury him It can be
done. God knows it. he knows it
and everybody hnows it. The Ne
gro is the most honest race in the
world; others have stolen from a
foot of land to a whole Continent,
while the former never stole any
thing bigger than a cow. But him
on a . fair basis and he will work
ahead; he has the honesty and the
ability—how can it be done?
The race must come together lay
down their money. In Savannah,
we have an organization khown as
the Real Estate and Mercantile Asso
ciation. It wanted good men to
take the shares- The Association
was prospering and had already
considerable money on hand. They
should buy the ground, build a store,
and stock it with everything he
needs from it. The Negro must
have his own business men, his own
lawyers, and his own doctors. The
Negro who has done so much to
build and make America, has no
home of his own Color makes no
man any more than color makes a
horse. Character makes the man;
1 honesty, virture and frugality make
F a race. The address was closed in
an earnest call upon the race to be
in unity among itself.
Short speeches were delivered by-
Revs. S. II Robertson, M. R. Wil
son and U. L. Houston, endorsing
the expressions of Dr. Love for the
, elivation of the race. Another
of the same nature will be
Eheld on Monday night at the same
! place.
