.YOUTH VOICE
iHISTORY WEEK
During this week the birth
days of two eminent Americans
were celebrated. Abraham Lin¬
coln and Frederick Dougla
We are greatly indebted to these
men for their outstanding roles
in combating the great ev.l
which plagued this country dur
ing their times Negro Slavery.
Frederick Douglas, lecturer
and journalist, was the son of
a Negro slave. In 1845 he pub¬
lished his autobiography and
afterwards made a successful
lecturing tour in England. In
1871 he was appointed secre¬
tary of the commission to Santo
Domingo; and United States
minister to Haiti, 1890.
Frederick Douglas is merely
one example of the notable men
in our history. Seeing that so
few of us have been exposed to
a frequent knowledge of Negroes
in history, the NAACP Youth
Council, along with the many
other organizations over the
country urges every Negro tc
learn more about the part ho
has played in building America
i and his race. Books on Negro
history are easily accessible at
the public library.
-“J,! 0 " w “ h “ N ? Bro
Week” Hie Association
for the Study ol Negro Life and
History says: “The Negro in
spite of his persecution, how¬
ever, has always struggled to
climb upward. He has shown
more eagerness for education
then others thus circumstanced
He has been a devotee to reli-
gicn, a home builder and a
stimulating force to esthetic de

country is indebted for a great

those of oppressing one’s f el -

year.”
