America, Democracy and the Negro Press!”
INDIVISIBLE AND INSEPARABLE SINCE THE FOUNDING OF THE FIRST NEGRO NEWSPAPER 117 YEARS AGO
■
The first Negro newspaper came into being for the purpose of guarantee¬
ing to all men a full and equal enjoyment of a free, rich and stimulating
existence under the greatest flag in the world. Today the Negro press is
still dedicated to that high purpose. Through the years it has provided
the platform from which could be made the pleas and demands of
men seeking that equality of opportunity to which every human, Mack
or white, is entitled. Progress has been made. Bar r iers have been re¬
moved. Broader vistas have been unveiled. But a further job lies ahead
. .
the job of helping America to see that no one can be tru ly free until all
are free. To that job the Negro press continues to dedicate itself. . . .
with the firm conviction that the full concept of Democracy can, and wiK
find full flower in the fertile soil of our own beloved country. ^,
Today, as never before, the iBeals «f
service and devotion to the eomnnn
★ good every who has are man. risen uppermost To to the that Negro in ehaBenge the in America, mind of de¬ of

COURAGE BEGET FRIENDSHIP
BASIC PRINCIPLES
DAILY OPERATIONS
Kindness
The practice of kindness witn those we come in contact
with is our first consideration because it is so easy to be
kind, thoughtful and generous for the welfare of others,
yet it cost so little.
Courage
In these perilous times, we need courage more than ever,
and had it not been for this quality, we could not have
overcome the many obstacles which confronted us in past
years.
Friendship
We have striven at ail times to be of the greatest useful¬
ness, and our friendship is ever alert and responsive to
the needs of those whom we serve.
“Life is mostly froth and bubble;
Two things stand alone
Kindness in another’s trouble
Courage in our own.”
