DuBois hv Judge Hubert T. > Delany, noted New York jurist and fighter for civil liberties and civil rights.) PART III ! In 1910 Dr. William Edward Burghardt DuBois led the first of several Pan-African conferences in Paris. These conferences similar in theme to the old Niagara ment, were equally productive and paved the way for the future of ‘he new African nations. Gahana has long paid tribute to the in- splrational role played in its his- tory by Dr. DuBois and the Pan- African conferences, one of interested attendants was Nkru- mah himself. When in the spring of 1957 the independent of Ghana was founded, Dr. Du- Bois was to have been present as an honored gtrest for the innugurn- tion of Prescient Nkru mah. Un- fortunately for our reputation with the African nations and our honor before the eyes of the world. Dr. DuBois, having attracted the ire of the partisans in th<> State De¬ partment of the Un-American Activities Committee, was <!..*ii<>ii a passport on the around that to permit the w»rt«T.- most di-i¬ tinguiahed Negro citizen to travel was against the “best interests of the United States.” But the results of the T’nn- African conference, like the re¬ sults of the Jliagsva mow meet out of which achieved grate owm'qtht. ffifc.%AA.CP. Between were not that first session in 1919 and Ghana’s emergency as a full fledg¬ ed nation several decades pr- , — years filled with other victorie — and some defeats. Dr. DuBois had early id*", ; "i**<l the struggles of the Negro with the fate of the dfcflrjrw gsploited and un¬ derprivileged 1 ere. II e knew that the Negro was the first fired and the last hired in normal times, and he was prepared with the arrival of the great depression to identify Negro interests with the interests of the country as a whole. Thus DuBois was quick to see the necessity for a new ap¬ proach by government to the prob¬ lems of the goverend. DuBois welcomed the New Deal and was a vital force in helping to pre- sent the needs of the Negro peo- |de to the government which for the first time since reconstruc- tion expressed a concern for peo- pie in transition, and in particu- lar, for the Negro people, The New Deal years were years <>f growth and retaliation of many goals. The crisis that had forced 1 nation to examine its aims and its capacities or suffer total dis- aster had responded to the crisis unevenly, but well, For the first time in history, Negroes began to break into the professions in large enough nuni- ber to become significant. Taking their place side by side with other American Negroes, they joined unions, formed cooperatives, fought *' :ir social security legislation and adequate unemployment protection, Campaign for fair employment practices were begun and in some 1 ' ' w<\ s they were won. New 1“ vislative interpretations pointed to a future which would not be oiovvd in yet another twenty 1 The shape of victory was clearly diseernable over a horizon ni y with the fast moving figure nf a nation working to help itself out of the most disastrous econo¬ mic collapse yet to hit the indus¬ trialized world.

Gains for Negroes slower than gains for groups within the crippled try, but gains there were. fect, shallow and inadequate, the possibility of progress there. And then World War II Again Negroes were asked to equally in the horrors of war. Un¬ der the militant leadership of DuBois and the NAACP, and with the cooperation of the still young trade union movement, groes demanded that equal sacri¬ fices be accompanied by equal rights. Exposure after exposure of discrimination, forced a suc- cession of break-throughs in wall of white supremacy. By the close of World War i llitierism hud suffered a defeat, but Jim Crow seemed be made of sturdier stuff. out all these years in the of tire major struggles of his W. E. B. DuBois had taken place. As an educator, as a er, sociologist, philosopher, Bois contributed not onjy leadership in the present, but produced a permanent body works to influence the of the future. From 1932 to he was editor-in-chief of the cyclopedia of the Negro; from 1940 to 194J he was editor of Phylon review. From 1944 1948 he headed the special search group for the NAACP. These were also productive in terms of his own literary career. Perhaps the best known and widely circulated study of this period was his "Black Reconstruc¬ tion,” the only full and pletely documented survey of the Reconstruction period from the point of view of the Negro. The combination scholarship, research and and the uniqueness of its approach makes “Black Reconstruction” signal contribution to history and a book no one who siders himself informed can ignore. In rapid succession came three other volumes, "Black Folk Then and Now,” “Dusk of Dawn,” and the very meaningful “Color Democracy.” Somehow during these years Bois had found time and to see for himself what was pening in the rest of the world. He had visited Liberia in 1923 the new Soviet Union in 1933. 1936 while still rft Atlanta versity, he had made a trip around the world. These trips, augmented by Paris conferences, visits to Lon¬ don, Brussels, Lisbon and finally China and Japan, culminated THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SAVANNAH, GEORGIA N. N. L. B. A.

Shelby County Coroner, Dr. L. A. Wahle, speculated that Ander¬ son’s head struck the crossties of the railroad track after he was hurled from the car by the im- pact of the collision. The eoro- ner said Anderson died at about 3:58 n.m. Tuesday, moments after collision. The train engineer, Wilbur Faulkner of Lexington, told state police he saw Anderson’s car when he was about 1,400 feet from the crossing, sounded his train whis¬ tle, but was unable to stop. He said the train was travel¬ ing at about 55 miles an hour. State Policeman Joe Hicks was the first officer to arrive at the scene of the accident. He said Anderson was alone in the car. The noted attorney was the first Kentuckian to receive UN appoint¬ ment when he was named by Pres¬ ident Eisenhower last August. He was nominated by Republican Senators Thurston B. Morton and John Sherman Cooper. Because of his political stature Anderson had been frequently mentioned as an appointee to vari¬ ous positions during the Eisen¬ hower administration. Among these were the governor¬ ship of the Virgin Islands, judge- ship of the Federal Court of Ap¬ peals and membership on the U. S. Civil Rights Commission. He was elected to the Kentucky State Legislature in 1935 to be¬ come the first Negro to hold such a post south of the Mason- Dixon Line since Reconstruction. He was re-elected for six consecu¬ tive terms. A native Kentuckian, he was a graduate of Kentucky State College, Wilberforce University and Howard University, where he earned his LLD degree. He was named one 6f Howard’s outstanding graduates several years ago and was awarded an honorary doctorate of law degree. He has been named to the re¬ spective honor rolls of the Chi¬ cago and Louisville Defender news¬ papers. Attorney Anderson is survived by his wife, the former Miss Vic¬ toria McCall of Detroit, Mich., whose father formerly published the Detroit Tribune; a son, Charles W. Anderson, III, and a daughter, Victoria. Voters’ Registration Increased (Continued rrom Page One’ ders, and all other organizations to please see that every member is registered to vote. The Rev.
